...offensive tackle the picture is desperate. Apart from the injured Reed, shifted from end, the only adequate prospect is junior Bob Dowd, Who when not sidelined with injuries, played well for the JVs last year. Dan Wilson's loss, due to a summer injury, proves disastrous. He had started last season. Fulvio Gentili, expected back after a case of mononucleosis last fall, is still not up to par and will not play. None of last year's other JV tackles have elevated to varsity stature...
...Last week, against the Minnesota Twins, he scattered nine hits, struck out twelve, and coasted to an 8-3 victory?his 28th of the year against only five losses. With perhaps five starts still ahead of him, McLain has already surpassed the best single-season performances of Carl Hubbell, Bob Feller, Warren Spahn, Whitey Ford and Sandy Koufax. No one has approached his performances in 16 years, and just two more victories will make him the first 30-game winner since Dizzy Dean turned the trick in 1934.

Newest moonface to shine is Bob Murphy, 25, a 5 ft. 10 in., 210-lb. redhead who last week rolled and scrambled to a sudden-death triumph over Oklahoman Labron Harris in the $100,000 Philadelphia Golf Classic. Murph the Girth shot a twelve-under-par 276 for 72 holes, then rammed home a 15-ft. birdie putt on the third play-off hole to gain his first professional victory and the $20,000 winner's check. The previous week he led the $250,000 Westchester Classic after three rounds, only to lose to Boros on the final hole...
...Pump House Gang is a sequel to the earlier collection of articles. Wolfe, with characteristic flair, romps through such diverse subjects as Hugh Hefner, Natalie Wood, Marshall McLuhan, the California surfing cult, Carol Doda (the topless go-go girl with silicone-inflated breasts), the pop art collectors Bob and Spike Scull and teenage London society. What he achieves is an impressionistic interpretation of new status symbols and contemporary life styles...
