...Seaver, 24, the husky, hard-throwing ace of the Met pitching staff, put on the most dazzling one-man show in Met history. He faced just 28 batters to achieve a 4-0 victory. Only a line single by Rookie Jim Quails in the ninth inning spoiled his bid for what would have been the eleventh perfect game since professional baseball began 100 years ago. Cub Manager Leo Durocher was roundly unimpressed. The next day, when the Mets committed two errors in one inning and went on to lose to the Cubs 6-2, Durocher, who is neither magnanimous...

Lewis turned back Insurgent John Brophy's bid in 1926. The raspy-voiced Pennsylvanian has served on the union's international executive board for 27 years. Earlier this year, Boyle named him acting director of the "NonPartisan League,"; the union's powerful political arm. Yablonski's announcement of his candidacy last May cost him that...
