HEAT WORRIES LEW M’CARTY

Hot Weather Got Best of Dodgers’ Catcher on Trip Through WestBrief Respite in Bath. “I used to think I could stand the heat, but it certainly had me all in on

a recent trip we made through the West,” said Lew McCarty, backstop of the Brooklyn Dodgers. “When you went to bed you just lay there tossing around and sweating. Plunging into the bathtub afforded only momentary relief, for just as soon as

you got out and dried off the heat got you again. “I thought Jeff Pfeffer would fade to a grease spot. But the boys stood it and we’re all in good condition now pnd will go right ahead proving that any team which cuts into the world series will have to beat us to the goal.”
