Hurst, 1-0, walked two of the game's first three batters, then another at the start of the second inning before settling down in the 41-degree weather here at Fenway Park. Hurst ended the first inning threat by retiring Rob Deer on a long fly and striking out Brewer catcher B.J. Surhoff...
...Rockies. The California Zephyr route takes passengers past places they would normally miss -- like Thompson, Utah, where the presence of the train doubles the size of the town. And the Ruby Canyon, the throat-tightening Donner Pass. For additional company, there are bald eagles, elk, prairie dogs, deer springing up alongside the tracks at twilight as the car slides past, cameras flashing from the windows. Even a bored 15-year-old cannot maintain her sangfroid in the face of such a host, and wrenches the camera from her father's hands...
Milwaukee (91-71, AL East, third): The Brew Crew was brewing towards the end of the season, but without a healthy Paul Molitor (.353), Milwaukee will fizz.

...yard is filled with concrete birdbaths, statues (including Jesus, St. Francis of Assisi, gnomes, Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck), decorative paving stones, planters and fountains, all neatly stacked in piles up to 6 ft. high. Most impressive is Harper's collection of concrete animals. He has 20 types of deer alone, ranging in size from a miniature fawn up to the just departed buck, and 18 kinds of frogs. There are also lifelike rabbits, geese, chickens, lambs, foxes, crocodiles, armadillos, toy poodles and blue jays. On a larger scale, Harper features full-size pigs and half-size cows and black...
...story house, Betty got a corner, where she uses an air compressor to spray-paint the animals with automotive-grade enamel. Almost from the beginning, says Harper, "I've been saying I want to slow down. But then I order more molds." That is an expensive habit: the deer mold cost him about $700 and the pig $400 or so. It would be cheaper to make his own molds, and Harper has tried it, but the job is just too time consuming. To keep the assembly line going, he needs as many as six copies of each, and he carries...
