...play by the late Clifford Odets just before he died, turns its original hero, Joe Bonaparte, an Italian boy torn between the warring worlds of art (represented by a possible career as a concert violinist) and commercial success (prizefighing) into Joe Wellington, a Negro with a racial chip weighing heavily on his shoulder and a desire to "show them who the hell I am." This change entails the loss of the conflict which informed and strengthened the entire texture of the earlier version. Only Joe's father remains, a stock conscience-figure who comments on the concert piano career that...
Injuries have hurt, of course. Roseboro will be out of action for a week, and Pitcher Johnny Podres has been idle since May because of a bone chip in his elbow.

But the real disaster occurred at the 14th hole, a dinky (139 yds.) par three. Tony's No. 8 iron landed off the green; a chip and three putts later, he found himself trailing Souchak by a stroke. Lema actually seemed relieved. "That took the pressure off," he said later. "I had been leading for so long that I was choking to death." He then birdied the par-four 17th to square the match...
