...hard-throwing righthander, the Reds' best pitcher (23 victories in 1963, 15 last year), Maloney had the easiest of tasks to perform last week: beating the Mets, who had lost ten games in a row. He started off with a whiz, throwing three straight strikes at the first batter he faced: Outfielder Billy Cowan, 26, who walked away muttering "I never even saw the ball." One after another, the Mets paraded to the plate; one after another, they slunk back to the dugout. Third Baseman Charlie Smith struck out three times and sighed: "Nobody has ever pitched a baseball...
Wearing their caps backwards to distinguish themselves from the rebels, Imbert's troops proceeded to batter the rebels in a full-scale battle. Clanking through the narrow streets, loyalist tanks fired point-blank into every house suspected of harboring rebels. So vicious was the fighting that a hapless taxi driver who got out to fix a flat was gunned down and lay there a day because no one dared venture into the street.

First Baseman Moose Skowron, late of the Yankees, Los Angeles Dodgers and Washington Senators, is hitting a fancy .301.

Pianist John Browning, 31, whose brilliant interpretation of Barber's Concerto for Piano and Orchestra was one of the critical highlights of the tour, attracted an avid following of young girls, who stormed the stage crying "John, John . . . oh, John!" When Violinist Gino Raffaelli was spotted on the street, the volatile Armenians demanded an impromptu sidewalk recital. He complied...
...rightfielder answered to Arturo. A guy named Doc was behind the plate. The cleanup batter called himself Hector, and his claim to fame was that he once led the league in grounding into double plays. The whole squad was hitting .212. The program said they were the New York Yankees, winners of five straight American League pennants and 2-1 favorites to make it six in a row. Baltimore Coach Billy Hunter knew better; after all, he used to play shortstop for New York. "Yankees?" snorted Hunter. "They look like the Toledo Mud Hens...
