Died. Frederick Marcus Warburg, 75, sportsman, philanthropist, and for 42 years an internationally minded senior partner and so-called "foreign minister" of Kuhn, Loeb & Co., one of Wall Street's oldest and most powerful banking and investment firms; of heart disease; in Winchester...
Aaron is, in fact, being offered more assistance than Baseball Commissioner Bowie Kuhn thinks is proper. The commissioner became loudly indignant when five National League pitchers said in an interview that they would be happy to enter the record books with Aaron by "grooving" the history-making pitch.

Baseball is not only our most popular sport, but it has always been our cleanest, physically and morally. These men have done a disservice to baseball and the kids who love...
