'Bloody Murder'

To Mr. Phillip W. Worrall,
congratulations.

To Mr. Roger Ison, nice try.

I'm glad there are still at least
two people on the Grounds who are
not yet stricken with the disease
which every so often flares up on
the playing field, hereby more
specifically known as "screaming
'bloody murder' as loud as one can
in the ear of the referee in the hope
that he will listen and watch for
more foul play." How many
referees will listen to a screamer
screaming? As a matter of fact, the
screamer is more likely to be
purged than the so-called murderer.
Those are the breaks of the game.
