Shortstop Eddie Brescoud, former National Leaguer, was close to the essence of Higgins mismanagement when he said recently that the American League emphasized power at the expert strike zone which doesn't happen all the time -- he's been bombed. Higgins manages the Red Sox as if Jackie Jensen, Ted Williams and two or three other forty-homer men were in the lineup. The face is, of course, they aren...
...except the Scoreboard, the National League win 3-1. But in a losing cause, Rollins handled three hot shots to third flawlessly, and shut off a National League rally with a one-hand grab of Tommy Davis' ripping sixth-inning grounder.

...more genuinely democratic than any thing envisaged by Ayub. The great majority of all elected candidates are former members of banned parties. At least 100 belonged to the old Moslem League, whose leader in West Pakistan is none other than Ayub's elder brother. Sardar Bahadur Khan. Moslem Leaguer Bahadur is outspokenly critical of his brother's contention that political parties, when restored, should be confined to "like-minded people" within the National Assembly, where his Moslem Leaguers will probably have a two-thirds majority...
