Sirs: TIME'S reporting [April 23, of Dr. Dwight E. Harken's impressive battlefront heart operation record] is in error. Not 328 heart cases, as you credit me.

In one fast and furious inning, the Crimson collected three hits, three walks, an outfield error, a passed ball, a hit batter, and topped it off with the first of two double steals to give Wallace more than enough for him to coast through...
