...signed up, they were whisked away by the draft. While Rickey pondered over his paints, Pirate fans took up chess and bird watching. Last year the team showed some improvement, but the old man had had enough. He resigned, became an offstage adviser, and new men came in to finish the job. Joe L. Brown, 37, son of Comedian Joe E. Brown, became general manager, and brash Bobby Bragan, 37, came from Hollywood to manage the team on the field. Both were Rickey's selections...
CUSSING in a dozen tongues, workmen sweated last week in steamy Venice to finish modern art's biggest Babel.

He swept past the checkered finish flag only 22 seconds ahead of Veteran Sam Hanks. And as he rode through one extra "insurance" lap, his throttle linkage snapped. Minutes earlier, the accident would have cost him the race...
Kessler did not finish Wednesday against Boston College, but Dom Repetto relieved to hold down the 10-2 win that clinched the Crimson's second straight Greater Boston League title. Matt Botsford paced the attack with a single, double and triple to drive in two runs. John Getch drove in three runs with a single and a double...
