...Stumpf, after one of the strangest doubleheaders in baseball history. At Milwaukee's Borchert Field, General Manager Stumpf's Milwaukee Chicks had met their Minneapolis rivals in the All-American Girls Professional Ball League after a one-hour prelude of classical music (Grieg's Heart Wounds, Ravel's Pavane pour tine Infante etc. etc.) by the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra...
