...Grandma and her grandma used to say that the best way to treat a burn was to hold it under the spout (cold water, naturally), but later generations of medical scientists have pooh-poohed the idea.

Since becoming ti Milwaukee starter this June, 23-year-old Jay won seven, including three shutouts, and lost four. Last week, with relief help from Spahn, he shut out Cincinnati with one hit, 3-0.

Magellan. See? You gotta ham it up. Don't just blurt it out. Hold it back, stretch for it. But whatever you do, say something! Give it the old bedazz.
