...Cards, who should lead until the end of August when Stan Musial wilts in the heat. With speed at short and second (Julio Gotay and Julio Javier), and power at first and third (Bill White and Ken Boyer), the Card infield is well anchored.

Well aware that he will have his hands full regaining the magazine's lost diadem, crew-cut Curt Anderson (he is now letting his hair grow out) is keeping his own counsel. "The Journal's basic character will be retained." he said, "but there will be changes." At week's end the Goulds quietly slipped off to the Bahamas for an extended rest. "Our career...
