Finding the cheeze has not been easy. The running surface of the maze could be defined in racetrack terms as heavy, composed of two parts quagmire and one part bog. The first people to lose their feathers over Veeck's proposed fall meeting were the track owners of Rhode Island who had also planned a fall meeting. Depending heavily on many Boston area bettors for their revenue, it was in their best interests to block the Suffolk Downs fall meeting. But, they had no jurisdiction in Massachusetts...

On occasion, when he can be repeatedly kept out of position and be forced into making poor shots, Laver will lose a set. When this happens, he will grin at his opponent, implying that both players know it will not occur again. It usually doesn...
