Charles Lupica

After spending 117 days sitting on a platform atop a pole on the roof of his Cleveland drugstore, Charley Lupica goes to see the Cleveland Indians play. He went without coming down, with an assist by a lift-trucking company. Lupica went up in the air with a vow that he wouldn't come down until his beloved Indians reached the top of the American League heap. They didn't, so yesterday, with all hope abandoned, Charley came down to earth. He received a big assortment of gifts for his loyalty.
