...infield Orlando Cepeda's eye trouble may prove more troublesome than his current hold-out. Chuch Hiller, Jose Pagan, and Jim Davenport are competently slick, but nothing more. As for the staff, Billy Pierce is 36 and Jack Sanford 34. Each had a peak year in '62 and it would be hubris to assume repeat performances (even though Sanford comes from Wellesley and is highly praised in the Globe...
Reward. Why should anyone want to kill such a kindly fellow? At week's end, Chicago had no idea. Mayor Richard Daley offered a $10,000 reward for the capture of Lewis' murderer. Police Superintendent Orlando Wilson, former dean of the School of Criminology at the University of California, vowed "to apprehend and bring before the bar of justice the culprit who committed this dastardly crime.

Died. Bobo Newsom, 55, showboating South Carolina-born major-league pitcher for 24 years, whose roundhouse skill on the mound (211 victories for nine different clubs) was matched only by his foghorn braggadocio; of intestinal hemorrhage; in Orlando, Fla.

The whole Yankee team batted .199, the Giants hit .226, and both clubs together collected only 95 base hits-a record low for a seven-game series. Strikeouts: 72, a record high...
...gleeful Giant dressing room, First Baseman Orlando Cepeda wrapped Willie Mays in his massive arms, hoisted him on a table and poured champagne in his ear. Then the bone-weary Giants flew off to San Francisco to play the cool, efficient Yankees in the World Series-and baseball was back to Dullsville. Yankee Whitey Ford and Giant Jack Sanford turned in masterful pitching performances, and after 18 cool, efficient innings, the series was even at one game apiece...
