Intentionally or not, the author has fitted his prose to his subject; the writing is foppish, runs to such Evergreen Review cliches as "this is clip street, hustle street-frenzied-nightactivity street." Despite such mannerisms, Rechy shows with something like objectivity the curious life of the homosexual "youngmen." There are the "queens"-men who use girls' names, feminine makeup and clothes ("drag"). There are the "stud hustlers"-male prostitutes. And the "scores"-the men who buy the favors of the stud hustlers...
These are the Red Sox, the successful nonentities who are challenging the mighty Yanks for the league lead. Some even say that they have not yet reached their peak, that when Stuart (.233) and Mejias (125) begin hitting at their usual clip, the Sox will really pull away from the rest from of the league...

Many individual batting averages dropped as a result of the team's poor showing last weekend. In an attempt to strengthen the offense, coach Norm Shepard will start sophomore Gary Miller in right field in place of Bobby St. George, who is currently hitting at a low .161 clip. Nonetheless, three Crimson batsmen, Gilmor, Bartolet, and Bilodeau, still have averages over...
