the telling stock as the record carries it
New Carlisle's folklore is young, and most of it belongs to its game:What the town tells instead is documented where it lives: the Curse of Chief Wahoo, the Wiffle league's own hex — laid in the game's early years, broken, the league says, in 2013 — rides whole in Sports with the 2007 "Jacobs Field" prank, an invented tradition manufacturing its folklore in real time and printing it as its own. The town's famous false story is a borrowed outlaw: the Dillinger tale that attaches itself to "New Carlisle" belongs to New Carlisle, Ohio — the trap is dispelled in this build's spine record and is printed here at pointer size so the dispelling, not the story, is what this town keeps. The name itself — a Carlisle carried from Pennsylvania to the Michigan Road — is the Story of New Carlisle section's founding record, pointed to, not retold. The ghost stock stands in the article below, at pointer discipline: folklore names it, Haunted Places tries it.
