The first ball to be knocked over the New Polo Grounds fence was returned to the batter, Connor, by a policeman. Connor presented it to De Wolf Hopper, who will have it gilded, appropriately inscribed and hung up in the club house of the Actors' Amateur Athletic Association. To what lengths will not cranks of the Hopper stripe go?
