Paper Cups to Repface Bottles at Busch Stadium ST. LOUIS. Mo.. May 2 UP .— Beer and soda pop will be served in paper cups at Busch Stadium to prevent bottle-wielding baseball fans from taking matters into their own hands in the- future, the major league clubs here announced today. The changeover came at the request of public safety director Myles P. Dyer after a barrage of bottles from the stands followed the mass fisticuffs between the St. Louis Browns and the New York Yankees here Tuesday night. After the players were untangled, the game was delayed still another twenty minutes until partisan fans were dissuaded from throwing bottles at the Yankee out- I fielders.
