THREE EDITORIALS

Site Ed. Note: Because we have gotten behind on the 1956 summaries, we are skipping ahead and each week will provide one summary until we catch up.

The front page for this date is here and the editorial page is here. We must, incidentally, make comment on the erratic orthography, printing and semantics utilized in communicating the results of the third game of the World Series in New York on the front page this date. First, "flied" is not a proper verb form. It should be "flew"—unless it is merely a misprint for "fled", in which event, we let it slud. Second, Peewee Reese did not "rape" a single to center, as, had he done so, he would, no doubt, be in jail for at least the remainder of the Series, locked in the dugout. He may have, however, "rapped" a single to center, even if that suggests considerable ambiguity, in its rather impotent and vapid attempt at onomatopoeia, as to whether he somehow talked the ball off of his bat, talking being, nevertheless, one of his arts which he would later display with Dizzy Dean, starting in 1960. And Roger Craig, who pitched initially for Brooklyn, wethinks may have later joined the Dallas Sheriff's Department, though it could be a matter of mistaken identity, or entirely the wrong rifle, when boiled to cases. And for more on the past Series history of Enos Slaughter, go here and here to wind up with the pitcher thoroughly confused... And, if you were ever a devotee of the San Francisco Chronicle & Examiner Sunday pink section, you will, no doubt, appreciate the irony, or accuracy, depending on point of view, of the assessment by Adlai Stevenson of the impact of Eisenhower Administration fiscal policies.
