Both Ashmore and Gazette Publisher John N. ("Ned") Heiskell made it clear that the departure was no retreat. "I'm a vindicated prophet without the grace to die," said Ashmore, taking note of this fall's token integration in Little Rock high schools. Said Heiskell: "His decision to accept the position actually was delayed on his own motion for more than a year because of the school situation here."

But in Chicago, the Dodgers' jug-eared Pitcher Craig was the soul of self-assurance ("I'm not cocky-I'm confident"), threw his soft stuff at the Cubs for four innings, then switched to his fastball to win 7-1. But the Braves stayed alive more because of Phillies' boners than their own skills...
