...year's opener, will be on the mound for the Senators as they try to begin this season in better style than they ended the last, when they dropped their final thirteen contests. Jack Harshman will be hurling for Baltimore, but the Orioles may have to play without Billy Klaus, a one-time Red Sox hopeful, who injured himself in his bathroom Monday night...
...King, "On King! On you huskies!", brought to us by Quaker Oats, the cereal shot from guns. We remember the sidekicks: Vic, Tank Tinker, Jim and Penny and Clipper. We remember the villains; the Gray Ghost, Dr. Martelli, the secret agents with German accents, who called one another Klaus and Fritz and Karl.
