WORDS, WIT
AND WISDOM
By WILLIAM MORRIS

QUESTION-My grandfather
was a very witty man, though
somewhat deficient in formal
schooling. He used quite a few
odd expressions that he learned
in his boyhood In the hills Of
Eastern Tennessee. Most Of
them were simple enough to
understand but one keeps COM
ing back to me and, though
I've looked in several word
books, I can't find it. The
word is "foopah." / remember
one time when I struck out
with the bases loaded, he re-
marked, Sonny. that sure was
q foopah you pulled last in
ming. IL. c. w., Durham,
N. C.
ANSWER - "Foopah" is a
dialect version Of faux pas, .
a term we have borrowed from
French to indicate q blunder or
error, particularly in etiquette.
In some parts of the country
another dialect variation -
''foxpaw"-is heard.
QUESTION-Please settle q
problem that has puzzled our
English class. Should we say
humps is contagious" or
humps are contagious? Also
should we say fiSh are running
early this season" or fishes
are running early this seasons
M. C. H., Milwaukee.
ANSWER-Though plural in
form nobody ever had q single
mump) the word "mumps" Is
treated as singular in most in
stances. 30 you should say
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1959-02-24

humps is contagious" The
only exception is when you are
speaking of various kinds Of
mumps. Then it is correct to
say humps are found in sew
eral different varieties"
Fish" is the preferred plural
of fish" unless you are re-
ferring to several different
species. You would say "the
fish are running early" because
you are referring to fish in gen.

of fishes are stocked in our 10
cal pet shop"
QUESTION-What do you
think of II should of won the
game?
ANSWER I think it's
wrong. What's more I know
it's wrong. "Of" is a PROPOSE
ton, not a verb. Say rather:
II should have won the game"

Il has been q rough road all

Griffs Battle Orioles for Second Tonight

NOTES: Lemon now has 81
runs batted in, while Killebrew
has 10 and Allison is. The
Senators have won nine Of their
last IL games after getting of
to a 4-S start. Cookie plans
to pitch Hal Griggs against the
Yankees Saturday and Chuck
Stobbs in one game Of a double
header Sunday. The club
will be idle tomorrow.
The Senators smashed IA
homers in nine games in the
West. They have a 21-l1
home run margin over their
opponents on the road, but at
home they have a mere 81
edge. At this time last year
the Senators had the same
1910 record. but the present
club seems less likely to skic
so badly.

Beer drinkers among the

only in a special beer garden"
in left field, q portion Of the

The Washington Baseball
Club yesterday was granted a
Glass F license by the Alco-
holic Beverage Control Board,
which permitted the change
and put the Senators beer sale
under the same arrangements
that govern in most other
major league parks.
The beer is sold by vendors

That's when Allison took

Melted the Senators q run in
the first inning, but the White
Sox tied it in the second on
Norm Cash's triple and Billy
Goodman's single.
The White Sox clipped Pas
cual for two runs in the third.
The Senators narrowed the
gap to 30 in the sixth when
Killebrew walked and came
around on Lemons double to
left center.
Hyde took over the pitching
in the seventh, but when he
yielded q run in the eighth on
Goodman's single and Pinch
hitter Earl Torgeson's double,
Clevenger was summoned To
duty. He got out of that jam
then escaped damage in the

Harmon believes his longest
major league homer to date was
the first one he ever hit. against
Billy Hoeft in 1855. That shot
Travelled three-fourths Of the
way up into Griffith Stadium's
leftfield bleachers.
And has he hit others in the
minors that have been more
distant? Jaw, gee, l don't
know" he responds, reluctant
to say anything that might be
construed as boasting.
Bob Allison, who played with
Harmon at Charlotte in 1856
and at Chattanooga the last
two seasons, viewed some Of
Killebrew's more monumental
pokes in the minors. He says a
few we're incredible.
when we were playing with
Charlotte at Columbus, Ga, one
night, he hit a drive over the
centerfield fence that was still
rising when it left the park, /"
Allison said. Its 407 feet to
that fence. It's S95 feet to the
leftfleld fence in Chattanooga,
and some Of the homers he hit
there will be remembered a long
time"
Killebrew's home runs are
m magnificent achievements.
They're not line drives which
reach their destination quickly
but soaring moon shots which
give fans ample opportunity to
gaze at the skies in awe, locate
the projectile and look linger-
ingly and lovingly.
The man behind them, the
22-year-old leading citizen Of
Payette, Idaho. isn't likely to
permit it to go to his head,
The other day in Chicago he
asked Nellie Fox for an auto
graphed picture for a friend
in Payette. Harmon behaved
as If he were requesting the
White Sox second baSeman to
chop off three toes.
Harmon never joins in the
group singing Of the Senator's
aboard train, plane or bus. He
sits silently and enjoys the at
tempts at harmony. He doesn't
join in the humorous or acid
exchanges among teammates.
When Cookie Lavagetto first
came to the Senators as Chuck
Dressen's lieutenant, he was
assigned to room with Harmon
and give the youngster con-
centrated course in baseball.
Hes about the same now as
he was then" Cookie says.
He'd write a letter a day and
maybe take in a movie once
in awhile. He's not much OF
a talker."
