...once-adequate fast ball has lost its zip; and the power-packed Milwaukee Braves rarely hit well for him -they have given him just nine runs in four games this year. Still Spahn wins, and he sets some sort of record every time he does.* Fortnight ago, the hawk-nosed lefthander pitched a no-hitter, his second since last September, against the San Francisco Giants-a team that has been held hitless only three times since 1900.

...drop out soon after the 26-mile, 385-yd. grind began, and Boston wags suggested that the Exeter Street finish line should be rechristened the Finnish line. Finnish runners had won the B.A.A. Marathon four times in the past seven years, and 1959 Winner Eino Oksanen. a hawk-nosed Helsinki detective, was back as a heavy favorite. Slim U.S. hopes were pinned to familiar Veteran John J.

Time of Hope begins in 1914, when Lewis is nearly nine, the son of a hawk-proud mother and a run-rabbit father who fetches up in bankruptcy court. Lewis is soon left with an aunt's legacy of ?300 and his mother's dying injunction to make something of himself. Almost awed by his presumption, he decides to be a lawyer, and it becomes a question of which will give out first-his money, his marks, or his health. Sheer grit gets him to the Inns of Court...
