IN THE NEWS:
The Dodgers start to wear liners in their caps as
a cautious response to the numerous beanball wars
of 1940 that hospitalized Joe Medwick, Billy Jurges,
and others. The liners are thin enough to be hardly
noticeable, but most ML players disdain the protection.
A syndicate of 12 Bostonians buys 73 percent
of the Braves, formerly the Bees, for $350,000 from
the Charles F. Adams estate.
