Newscopy: "THE HAPPY HUCKSTER knows a bit of maneuvering will excite the taste buds of fans at the ball park. Hot dogs run 10 to the pound and Candlestick fans are expected to gorge on 300,000 pounds this year; Candlestick hot dogs this year will measure six inches and run exactly 10 to the pound. Peanuts will run 24 to 26 to the bag, including an occasional triple jointer, and even a quadrupler here, and there, though as we warn, these last are as rare as pearls in an oyster. Candlestick popcorn is guaranteed to expand 38 times the size of each original kernal before the Stevens brothers, concessionaires, and sticklers for giving value received, will let them go into the bag. These are major league popcorn kernals. Minor league kernals expand only 24 times their original size. The Stevens boys let us measure the integrity of their hot dogs Monday. We took a ruler along. The results, seven of their frankfurts were 6 and 1/16th inches in length. Seven were 5 and 15/16ths long. The other six came out exactly six inches. SO BUY three at a time and you'll average out prettily on length. We also made an exhaustive research of the hot dog's origin and as a result are enabled today to scoop the entire nation on one of baseball's little hidden anniversaries."
