MUFFS FIRST FLY
IN TWELVE YEARS

Those fans who saw Larry
Doyle set himself squarely I'M
der a pop fly from the bat of
Casey Stengel in the first inning
of a recent game between the
Giants and Pirates, get the ball
in his hands and allow it to slip
through his clutching fingers to
the ground, are hereby informed
that they witnessed a very rare
thing. To be specific, Doyle had
not made an error of just that
sort for twelve long years-that
is, he had not muffed fly ball
under which he had time to set
tie himself for the catch. He
blamed his recent detection on
the fact that he had not yet fully
recovered from the injury to his
head. His head, he says, fairly
swan as he scrambled backward
to get under the looping pellet,
and he was so dizzy that he
could barely get his hands on
the ball, to say nothing of hold
ing it firmly.

1t seems to Marian that everything
that she especially likes bears the bur-
den of the new war taX-sundaes, So
das, candy, beads, and about every
thing she had been accustomed to ask
for when mother and father went to
town. Now they limit the number of
luXuries they buy for her and always
explain their limitation by saying "on
account of the war tax" or plus the
war tax"
The other day a new baby sister
came to Marians home. FiXedly she
looked at it the next day after its ar
rival. "What did it cOst?" she asked.
Twenty dollars" boosted her ia
ther.
The second question quickly fol-
lowed, plus the war taxi"
