...broke his left leg last July. If there were any lingering effects, they certainly did not show. Boston's one real hit was a fluke homer by Pitcher Jose Santiago; only six other Red Sox batters even got to first, and in the strikeout column stood ten big Ks. With that kind of pitching, all it took to wrap up the game was a pair of runs, both of them supplied courtesy of Leftfielder Lou Brock, 28, the Cards' hardhitting (at .299) lead-off man and baseball's most artful burglar since Maury Wills decided...
...receive suggestions to fight poverty and strengthen human rights. As matters now stand, individuals with ideas must trudge from department to department, only to be told finally that there are no provisions in the budget for new ideas. If a commission were to act on proposals and give Ks approval, this might win acceptance for suggestions that might not otherwise come to light...
...Sorry. It was like that down to the end-the Yanks grim and seething with pressure, the Cards loose, enjoying it all, and ever so apologetic for the liberties they took.

The top of the Yankee order, producers of 73 home runs this year, did not get the ball in front of the plate until the sixth inning. Mickey Mantle had two Ks beside his name in the scorebook before he managed an infield pop-up-and drop-kicked his batting helmet halfway to the dugout. At last, Tommy Tresh got to Koufax for a two-run homer. But Bobby Richardson, who struck out only 22 times all season, whiffed three times. "That," muttered...
