The best that could be said for Lee's ges ture was that it was quixotic. The Cardinals won the game 7-3. They also won the fight - one bloody face, one bruised jaw and one chipped tooth to none...

Fiddle players agree on one important fact, however: the finest violins are the Cremona instruments made by Joseph Guarneri del Gesù (1698-1744) and Antonio Stradivari (1644-1737).
