Why am I buying it? Well, in the first place I’m not one of these hosts who serve stuff that’s been aged only ten or fifteen years. No, sir. When I put out I put out. Of course if you are on a party at my house you won't get the Sherwood Rye immediately. First you'll have brandy cocktails made from Bellows’ Grande Fine Cham- pagne at about $360 the case. Or may be we'll start with the 1848, which only $225 and save the Grande Fine till later. After the cocktails we'll enjoy a lineup of wines that run only about 50 to 100 yrs. of age. We'll discuss what was going on in the world at the time the wines were bottled, and what fools the vintners were to allow the wines to outlive them. Then sometime after dinner we'll pop open a case or so of Sherwood.

They defeated the St. Louis Browns allowing them but two hits and no runs. Of course the only hitch to above statement is what of it and who hasn’t licked the Browns. However, no doubt by this time their sprouts have bloomed out into matted jungles. No doubt also their accents have improved for when I heard them they were so Brooklynese you could cut it with a hatchet.
