...Cincinnati, where a "continuous program to detect health hazards and sanitary defects . . . does not exist," and where infectious hepatitis, traced to the city's water supply, broke out in a new federal housing project...
Warmup for the 1970s. Cincinnati is a river city of long hot summers and long-suffering fans, whose loyalty has been rewarded by only four pennants and two World Series victories in the 94 years since they joined the National League. But everyone in town agrees that the long lackluster century was just a warmup for the 1970s. By playing .700 ball into the last of July, the Cincinnati Reds have made a farce out of the league's western division race. Last week they led second-place Los Angeles by 11½ games. Third-place Atlanta...

A pair of home-grown youngsters, Gary Nolan, 22, and Wayne Simpson, 21, have added another 29 victories...

The first extra-base hit did not come until the eighth inning, when the Orioles' Brooks Robinson tripled and the American Leaguers took a 4-to-1 lead. The National Leaguers, powered by the Giants' Dick Dietz and Willie McCovey, finally woke up in the ninth to tie the score and send the game into extra innings...
