Not a great day for editors: Dave Anderson misspelled Eddie Mathews's last name both times -- the guy led the league in home runs the year before, so it wasn't for lack of familiarity with him -- and the headline writer called him Aaron. (And Adcock;s 18 total bases got typoed down to 17 in your second paragraph. At least you can correct that one.)
Thanks, Eric! You know, given how much flack journalists get these days for mistakes, it's pretty interesting to see just how many mistakes there were in these old newspapers.
