Brains not brawn key to major league success

Brains not brawn key to major league success

A well-traveled catcher from the Lone Star State smacked a three-run double to put the Detroit Tigers ahead of the Chicago Cubs in Game 7 of the World Series on Oct. 10, 1945. Paul Rapier Richards was born in 1908 at Waxahachie, a baseball hotbed in those days, where several big-league clubs came to the area for spring training. The town with the name that has twisted so many Yankee tongues was home away from home for the Detroit Tigers, while the New York Giants practiced down the road at Marlin.

from Heloise Dear Heloise: My shredder once broke in the middle of a job. But, a tip came from a friend, and now I use it all the time. I fill a large household bucket with warm water, about half-full to accommodate the batch of papers. Try to have most of the paper covered. Sometimes I add a spritz of dishwashing detergent. Set it aside to soak well.
