...years on the mound, but he parlayed a new slider and an old pro's cunning into the best all-round record of any major-league pitcher. Spahn led the National League in complete games (21), earned-run average (3.01) and consecutive, victories (10), tied Cincinnati's Joey Jay for most games won (21). He also pitched a no-hitter-his second in two years. By season's end, Spahn had won his 30gth game, needed only 17 more to become the winningest lefthander of all time.

She place-kicks footballs and tweaks the ears of her boss's clients. The Joey Bishop Show (NBC) presents its deadpan comic star as a small-time flack who is not as slick or tricky as the world around him. But the whole show is a little too cold and clanny...
