Connally has made no hint of reciprocal U.S. trade concessions, and Europeans resentfully interpret his talk as a challenge to start a knock-down fight on trade.

...reached first on an error and advanced to third when a pick off threw hit his helmet. On the next pitch, Nickens pitched with the runner stealing home. Unable to reach the ball with his bat. UMass's Jack Conroy threw his body at Varney's legs, trying to knock over the 230-lb, catcher. Needless to say he failed, and Manley was out by several yards...
