...Scene 3, two out, last of the ninth. Score: Yankees 1, Giants 0. As 43,948 spectators and 20 million TV fans hold their breaths, the Giants' Matty Alou dances boldly down the third-base line. Willie Mays grabs a handful of dirt and edges away from second. Yankee Pitcher Ralph Terry peers nervously at Batter Willie McCovey. A single means the ball game. Terry throws, McCovey swings. Crack! Second Baseman Bobby Richardson flings out his glove. Plunk. Joy, sorrow, delirium, despair-and cut to razor-blade commercial. For the 20th time in 27 tries, the New York Yankees...
...OUTFIELD--The Yankees are superior up front but in baseball it is not necessarily what's up front that counts. Not when the Giants have Felipe Alou, Harvey Kuenn, and Willie Mays on the outfield grass.

But with Harvey Kuenn hitting well over 370 there seems to be little place for them now. As for M. Mays, who the other day assaulted the New York Mets' little Elio Chacon the way the Giants were assaulting the Mets, he is coming out of a slump which did not prevent him from leading the league with 16 home runs. Teammate Orlando Cepeda is right behind him in that department with 11, leads with 49 runs...
