Second Eichmann. Now jailed in Brasilia, Stangl, 58, will probably be shipped back to his native Austria. West Germany, as well, wants him to stand trial. He is charged with killing 30,000 infirm and mentally defective Germans and Austrians early in the war at Hartheim Palace, near Linz, which was used as a "training center" to prepare SS men for work in concentration camps. Later, as chief of the camps at Sobibor and Treblinka in Poland, he earned Wiesenthal's name for him: "the second Eichmann...
Whoever said the New York Yankees had hearts of flint? Infielder Phil Linz, 25, drew the wrath of management and a $200 fine for tootling a few off-key bars on his harmonica after a particularly galling loss to the White Sox last August. Now the Yanks want to start the new season on a high note. Fixed to the $13,000-plus contract Linz signed for 1965 was a $200 check, with a warming little message from General Manager Ralph Houk that the dough is to be used for harmonica lessons.

Yogi Berra's pitcher, Rookie Sensation Mel Stottlemyre, had nothing wrong with him that a good defense could not have cured. In the fourth inning, the roof fell in.

Out went Stottlemyre; in came Reliever Al Downing, who threw four pitches, one of them a ball. The others: a homer, a single, a double. Out went Downing; in came Rollie Sheldon...
...fired practically nothing but fastballs ("If they hit it, they hit it. If they don't, they don't") at the frenziedly swinging Yanks who tried everything-even throwing bats his way. Striking out nine, Gibson kept things barely interesting by feeding gopher balls to Mantle, Linz and Clete Boyer. Then with an eye for irony, he persuaded Bobby Richardson, the Yankees' leading hitter, to pop up for the last out. By a score of 7-5, the St. Louis Cardinals had their first world championship in 18 years. Pitcher Gibson had a new series record...
...single by Tom Tresh promptly scored Mantle, and the Yanks added two more in the next inning to make it 4-1. The Cards made it 4-2, but a ninth-inning homer by Phil Linz, followed with hits by Roger Maris, Mickey Mantle, and Pepitone, and a sacrifice fly by Tresh, put the game out of reach...
