...lashing from Wichita Manager Ben Geraghty for not trying hard enough, Jay took hold and won his last six straight. Since becoming ti Milwaukee starter this June, 23-year-old Jay won seven, including three shutouts, and lost four. Last week, with relief help from Spahn, he shut out Cincinnati with one hit, 3-0. He has the second best earned-run average (ERA) in the league-1.81; his losses, all close (io, 2-1, 3-1, 4-2), have been mainly due to lack of effective hitting support...
With familiar singleness of purpose, 22-year-old Peter Taft, grandson of William Howard Taft, son of Cincinnati Civic Leader Charles Phelps Taft, worked his way across the Pacific as deckhand on a freighter, arrived in Melbourne to ask for the hand of a young and beautiful Australian widow. He had met her last year at Yale when, as swimming captain, he had been called upon to show her the campus. An encouraging correspondence developed. But Wendy Marshall, 21-whose husband John Birnie Marshall broke 28 world records swimming "for God, my country, and Yale" and died in an auto...
Struggle for Survival. Like the Taft family that owned it, Cincinnati's Times-Star for generations had been an institution: sober, solid and solvent. The Times and Star were merged in 1880 by Charles Phelps Taft, half brother of William Howard Taft. In the 1930s and '40s, the ruggedly Republican afternoon daily vigorously backed Senator Robert A.

...flaring headlines and flamboyant crime stories with solid crusades for clean city government. In 1951 the Post passed the Times-Star in circulation (153,230 v. 150,489). Struggling for survival, the Times-Star twice tried to buy the third and largest paper in town, the morning Enquirer ("Solid Cincinnati Reads the Cincinnati Enquirer"), which has a morning and Sunday monopoly. But in 1956 Scripps-Howard bought control of the Enquirer for $4,059,000 (TIME...
...Centralization.' " The sale (at an undisclosed figure) means that solid Cincinnati will have to read Scripps-Howard. But Scripps-Howard President Jack Howard, 47, insists that the morning Enquirer (circ. 205,461) will be free to compete as it likes against the new afternoon Post and Times-Star (first press run: 318,000). "There will be no 'centralization' of editorial policies," said Howard. "Down in Memphis, where we own the Commercial Appeal and the Press-Scimitar, it seems our people hardly speak to each other. They're ruggedly competitive...
