Transplantation of the cartilage that surrounds the bone in joints would offer hope to vast numbers of victims of arthritis and other joint diseases. And, said Glasgow's Dr. Thomas Gibson, there would be no rejection problem, because cartilage is bloodless. But cartilage by itself is not enough. In animals, joints have been reconstructed successfully with cartilage left adhering to a delicately sculptured layer of bone, though Gibson is not yet ready to try that approach...

Walter Johnson, a Negro doctor from Lynchburg, Va., whose avocation was encouraging promising young Negro tennis players. Years before, Dr. Johnson had befriended a girl from Harlem named Althea Gibson and started her climb to two Wimbledon and two Forest Hills titles.

Other hurlers around the majors have won more games, of course: Detroit's Denny McLain already has 19 victories to his credit, San Francisco's Juan Marichal 18, and Cleveland's Luis Tiant 16.
