With the series tied at 1-1, the two teams take today off to fly to New York, where they will go at it again Friday afternoon. Probable starters: Paul Splittorff and Catfish Hunter...
...Bibb lettuce and anchovies is named in his honor. But he also cultivates a deceptively down-home cornpone image. He and Wife Harmolyn rarely go out at night. Most of their entertaining is casual, such as weekend barbecues-over mesquite wood from Texas. Walker has another specialty: fried catfish.

He played ball with spirit and enthusiasm, albeit a little oddly--with a sincerity that caught the fancy of all who watched him. And the fans flocked by the tens...
