Stottlemyre and the Cards' Bob Gibson staged a pitching duel until a disputed call helped the Yanks break a 1-1 tie in the sixth inning. With a man out and Mantle on first, umpire Bill McKinley ruled that a Gibson pitch had hit Joe Pepitone. The Cardinals protested that the ball had hit Pepitone's bat first...
Last year a couple of cat burglars named Chuck McKinley and Dennis Ralston sneaked off with Australia's prize silver: the Davis Cup. The mug had been in the family for most of 13 years, and the Aussies did not take the abduction kindly. So off to Cleveland last week trotted two of Australia's finest: Roy Emerson, the world's No. 1-ranked amateur, and Fred Stolle, ranked No. 2. "We'll win 4 to 1," predicted Aussie Captain Harry Hopman, as always the soul of confidence-and not without cause...

Then, with a magnificent overhead smash straight between the two Aussies, Ralston administered the coup de grâce. The last game was easy...
...earth. Oregon's imaginative Museum of Science and Industry in Portland offers a "micro-zoo" that, by magnifying a drop of water 200 times, reveals the teeming life in it. "We want to make a simple scientific statement the student will understand," says Executive Director Loren McKinley. "We don't go in for pinball exhibits...
