Weaver has in his possession relic Of
chicken anatomy that is revered with
almost religious fervor by the players.
He keeps it in a velvet-lined box under
lock and key and no profane eyes are
permitted to see it.
But every day during the rush down
the stretch for the pennant strange
rite has been observed in the Cardinals
dressing room. A ceremonial was held
in doc" Weaver's Office. doc" opened
the box containing the wishboI1e and
one by one the Cardinals filed by and
placed hands upon the wishbone. This
done, they Jared forth to battle.
And the good Office of the bones will
