Weaver was protesting a called strike, and charged out of the dugout to make his case.

However, Crawford didn't have time to listen and quickly ejected the fiery Baltimore skipper. It was the first Series ejection of a manager since 1935.

I've been having trouble with the Veterans Administration. My records are in Indianapolis, Ind. I have called four times long distance and all I get is a mn-around. On one call I was told it would take four days for my records to be brought down from one of the other floors. I was drawing $136 a month because of injuries I received in World War II.

My allotment was cut to $70. Then the September check was lost in mail. I sent a change of address, but I haven't heard anything. I think I should be getting the original allotment of $136 and I also want those back checks. F.C.H., Porterdale.

The protests continued into the night.

A candlelight parade caused massive traffic tieups in mid-town Manhattan. Demonstrators thronged into centers of the nation's big cities and onto college campuses for massive rallies. In hundreds of cities and villages and in a multitude of ways, they voiced their desires for an end to the war.

In the next several days you'll receive checks totaling $432.

But your records weren't in Indianapolis, they were in Nashville, where you lived before you moved to Georgia. And it may have taken four days to get your records from one floor to another at Indianapolis, but the Atlanta office got them from Nashville overnight. You are going to get your August allotment in a few days and the September check about a week later. And since you should have been receiving $136 a month since July, instead of $70, you'll soon receive a check for $160 to make up the difference.

The land wasn't purchased until 1875, and construction didn't begin until the late 1890s, during the Spanish-American War.

Later the fort was an Army depot, and in 1945 it was sold to the City of Savannah Beach, which uses it as a museum. Ft Screven never fired a shot at anyone.
