...sudden explosion of power? Pitchers moan that the modern ball is more rabbit than horsehide. "They've got it jacked up," insists Los Angeles Angels Reliefer Ryne Duren. Says Cleveland Manager Jimmy Dykes: "When some of these little fellows start popping 'em over the fence, you have to figure they are winding the rubber in the ball tighter. They must even be using elastic glue, too." Baseball manufacturers huffily denied that souped-up balls are the reason. "There has been no change in the construction of the ball in the last quarter-century," says Spalding President Edwin...

At the height of the season, which begins this month and runs through September, tourists must be prepared to scramble for unreserved hotel rooms, cadge for scarce festival tickets, and moan their way through traffic tie-ups that rival rush hours in Manhattan. But customs red tape has been minimized, and except for the Iron Curtain countries and Yugoslavia, visas are burdens of the past, and so is the black market for currency...
