Ii was no day for basebaII. Rather
II was almost ideal for football, save

to baseball.
Fans In overcoats ahivered In the
grand stand, and many without. nearly
froze In the bIeachers. Even War
hops home run over that dear left
field fence failed to warm up the crowd,
except In 4 figuratiye sense.
Warkop'e Home Run,
II was Some wailop, that home run.
Mr.. Warhop. who probably intended
his name to be spsiled Warvhoop.
evoked cheers that sounded like his
patronymic. Which was quite appro-
PIRATE. Mr.. Warhop once posed a. an
Indian pitcher. Anyway. he had the
Indian sign on the ban, all right.

errors. Almost any old errors would
be excusable on such a day and under
such conditions.
