Shirt-sleeved rooters packed the grandstand at $1 a head. Some stripped to undershirts in the 80-degree heat; some parked their cars at the far side of the broad, green playing field, unfolded beach chairs and guzzled beer from jugs.

...Islands in the Sun, that briefs its members on the latest and the best. Bachelor Party Tours, clipper voyages to the Seven Seas, motor caravans from Singapore to Istanbul, Tramp Trips on freighters where the passenger can rough it for no less money than the cost of a sports-shirt cruise-all have their takers.
