World Series Ticket Grabbag Leaves Fans Hopeful

Chicago Cubs offices misfired in selling or refunding World Series tickets. About 38,000 fans failed to gain tickets as some money was refunded with signed notes from club president William Veeck. A small number of Waterloo fans received both tickets and refunds by registered mail, while many envelopes revealed no names due to post office privacy. Some fans were telegraphed by Chicago friends about ticket status or potential postponement of the event.
