Died. Earle ("Greasy") Neale, 81, who gave up a career in major league baseball to become one of football's leading innovators and most popular coaches; in Lake Worth, Fla. Neale spent eight seasons as an outfielder for the Cincinnati Reds, starred in the 1919 World Series, and played pro football during the off-seasons under an assumed name. In his first job as head coach, he led Pennsylvania's little-known Washington and Jefferson College into the 1922 Rose Bowl, where the heavily favored University of California barely managed to hold the Easterners to a scoreless...

Rose later escaped injury at the hands of garbage-throwing Mets fans...

When the Orioles knocked out Oakland Ace Vida Blue (20-9) early in the first game and won it 6-0, there was hope in Baltimore that the home team's strong pitching staff, starring Jim Palmer (22-9), would prevail over Oakland's aces. But then came Oakland's other stone walls, Ken Holtzman and Jim ("Catfish") Hunter. They and Reliever Rollie Fingers stood their ground...
