From boyhood in his native Nashville, Tenn., Samuel Stritch led the way. He was only ten when he finished grammar school. At 16 he graduated with a B.A. from St. Gregory's Seminary in Cincinnati, was ordained a Roman Catholic priest at 22. When he was 34 he became Bishop of Toledo, the youngest bishop in the U.S., and nine years later he was Archbishop of Milwaukee. A decade after that, in 1940, the Most Rev. Samuel Alphonsus Stritch became Archbishop of the largest Roman Catholic archdiocese in the U.S.-Chicago-and six years later he was elevated...

...bushers. Shoeless Joe Jackson, perhaps the greatest outfielder of them all, was unaccountably awkward under easy flies; Swede Risberg, the sure-handed shortstop, was fielding grounders with his feet; First Baseman Chick Gandil seemed asleep on the sack. But sawed-off Kerr had pitched his heart out against the Cincinnati Reds (who took the series, 5-3) and won. And not until a year later did Dickie or anyone else know for sure that he had been throwing for thieves-that his laggard teammates were the notorious Black Sox who had been bought by gamblers and had fixed the series...

...party's state machinery, last week won renomination-but only by 346,554 votes to 198,599 for an opponent who had pledged "not to lift a finger" in active candidacy. The lackluster winner: 42-year-old Governor C. (for nothing) William O'Neill; the loser: former Cincinnati Mayor Charles P. Taft, who had filed only as a "standby" after O'Neill suffered a mild heart attack (TIME...

...been American on both sides for at least four generations. His pale baby face, with its cornflower-blue eyes beneath a tangle of yellow hair, might suggest a choir boy-which he has been. He is exuberantly gregarious, unsophisticated and, on the surface at least, totally untempera-mental. Former Cincinnati Symphony Conductor Thor Johnson recalls that once, in an orchestral tutti during the rehearsal of a concerto, Van rose from the keyboard and walked out. "I called a halt to the music," says Johnson, "and wondered what we could have done to upset the kid." Just then Van looked back...

...catcher flashed a signal and stuck up his mitt-a fat target. The pitcher frowned moodily and began his windup-a reluctant marksman. All evening, Cincinnati's big righthander, Brooks Lawrence, had been firing successfully past the St. Louis Cardinals. Now he seemed ready to throw and duck. And he had reason. Coiled in the batter's box was Stan ("The Man") Musial, the indestructible old pro whose potent bat has been tormenting National League pitchers ever since his rookie season with St. Louis 18 summers...
