Baseball Museum Gains Noted Artefacts In Coopers Town
The National Museum of Baseball in Cooperstown announces acquisitions including a ball given to Capt. Roy and an artificial hand once used by E. L. Bryston. A Japanese Paul Waner bat sold at a war bond auction may be donated to the museum after its Namur island find by Marine Charlie Truitt. Dud De Groot, new Redskins coach, expects to persuade Andy Farkas to let his fullback play next season. Hanover's Bertha, sole mare to win both the Hambletonian and a trotting classic winner, dies. Billy Petrolle draws praise at a punditfest and the Camp Ellis baseball team’s “Pop” remains a favorite with teammates.
