Actor Henry Fonda, 61, squinted at the watercolor in Manhattan's Cober Gallery and grinned: "My, what a lovely painting. I wonder who did that." Actually, the masterpiece, entitled The Old Quarter, Gerona, was an original 1966 Fonda. Hank, who paints as much as he acts, donated Gerona to a benefit sale for the Gotham Chapter of Retarded Infants Services, an event that also featured the efforts of such old masters as Soupy Sales and Xavier Cugat. "I take such a joy in painting," said Fonda, inspecting the art with his wifely muse of five months, Shirlee...
Ballplayers must be stronger, or the ball must be livelier, or the air must be thinner, because the way this season is going, a horse-or at least his hide-will get to the moon before a man. In one game last week, Braves Outfielder Hank Aaron, no heavyweight, twice flicked his wrists and twice sent liners whistling high over Atlanta Stadium's 400-ft.-deep leftfield wall. In Washington, awed witnesses reported that a drive hit by Senators Outfielder Frank Howard was still climbing when it caromed off the centerfield seats 480 ft. from home plate...
Young, with a 48.3 early in the season, Captain Hank Cole, and Jeff Hipps make the 440 Yale's strongest running event. Robinson and teammate Jeff Huvelle must step up their pace if they hope to catch Young and Cole. Yale's 440 runners combine into a wicked mile relay team, which has run under 3:17, fast enough to defeat Harvard...

...bookies weren't fooled either: the odds against the Yanks winning the American League pennant were 5-1, although Manager Johnny Keane insisted that this team was "better" than last year's sixth-place finishers. The team that did look better was Baltimore (odds: 3-1). Hank Bauer's Orioles batted only .238 last season, but they pried Frank Robinson away from Cincinnati over the winter, and he is an old horsehide hater: he hit .393 this spring, with eight homers and 17 RBls. Even so, the Minnesota Twins (3-1) would probably be a shoo...
