Outstanding among such culture-plated advertisers is Container Corp. of America, big, enterprising maker of paperboard products.

Weak behind the plate, strong on Cubans again. Washington is minus its only .300 hitter, Stan Spence. Philadelphia's Athletics hoped ex-Milwaukee Outfielder Harold Peck would give their hot-&-cold batting order new heat...
