...with Lincoln on the mound, a few were good enough. In the sixth, Jeff Grate walked and Dan Hootstein, who seems to drool when there are men on base, knocked him in with a double to left field. Bob Welz scored the Crimson's other run in the seventh when he walked, took second on a sacrifice, and scored when McRobbie blew a pickoff attempt...
...Father Dan came by his fiscal acumen purely through "priestly duty." On his first assignment in Peru in 1950, in the poor (per-capita income: $65) Andean town of Puno, he decided that what his peasant charges needed was financing as well as faith.

...other respect, Ryuji Iyeda last week remained glacially calm. Only 28, he was taking on nine of the best Go players simultaneously in Manhattan's Nippon Club. But then Iyeda has been playing the ancient Oriental board game constantly since he was eight, now ranks as a fifth Dan professional (ninth Dan is highest) in his native Japan, where Go has been the national indoor game for as long as anybody can remember. Besides, this time was really only a warmup: later, in his three-week exhibition tour of the U.S., he will play 15 games simultaneously in Boston...
