...nourishes about a dozen other oddsmaking establishments. Some beef up their income by peddling parlay cards (insidious lists of the week's games with which small handbooks tempt small bettors); some even book bets on the sly. None are as large, or as furiously legitimate, as the Clearing House...
...retreat. Almost reluctantly, the Braves went out in front in the eighth inning. Leftfielder Bobby Thomson promptly put an end to that rally by thoughtlessly trying to steal home. Apoplectic over this final foolishness, Manager Fred Haney fined Bobby $100. Apparently he did not think it worth while to beef that Bobby was probably safe in spite of himself. Dodger Catcher Campanella had jumped a good yard out of the catcher's box before Pitcher Roger Craig got rid of the ball.

Since mid-July beef cattle and calves, which constitute the largest single source of U.S. cash farm income, have been bringing farmers higher prices. All grades and weights slaughtered in Chicago last week brought a top price of $26.27 compared to $22.50 in the same week a year ago. The prices are up because lower production and premature marketing have resulted in a short supply of beef. Stockyard experts predict that the price trend will continue upward into November...
