Relaxation. By the time they got to New York last week, clinging grimly to their slim, one-game lead, the Dodgers were so nervous that they looked more like candidates for a rest home than for the World Series. They felt even worse before they left.

But say Calcutta to the member of a golf club, and he is apt to look nervously to either side and whisper, "Shhhh! How did you know we were having one this year?" Until 1955, a Calcutta was an integral -and often the most fun-part of every golf tournament. A few days before a member-member tournament, or on the night before a member-guest, a properly anointed auctioneer would "sell" each team...
