...Natural. Batting directly behind Mays, in the No. 4 cleanup spot, is the most powerful bateador, Orlando Cepeda, 24, whose booming palo has been tormenting National League pitchers since the start of the season. First Baseman Cepeda is batting .330, leads the National League in hits (with 77), ranks second in home runs (with 15) and runs batted in (with 55). The other Latins are almost as impressive. In his second year up, Puerto Rico's Jose Pagan ranks among the league's sharpest shortstops. Pitcher Juan Marichal, from the Dominican Republic, already has eight victories...
...trains and airlines with a fleet of seven-passenger limousines equipped with telephones and dictating machines. Currently Chalk is absorbed in an 85-m.p.h. rubber-tired "Superail," similar to monorails. He wants to build one from Washington, D.C., across the Potomac to the new Dulles International Airport, another from Orlando, Fla., to Cape Canaveral, and a third in Puerto Rico. The cost of these projects he is willing to share with the U.S. Government...
Died. Victoria Mary Sackville-West, 70, genteel English authoress, a lanky noblewoman whose needlepoint prose and aloof mien made her a leading light in the Bloomsbury Group of Lytton Strachey, John Maynard Keynes and Virginia Woolf (who portrayed her as the fantastic heroine of Orlando) and who herself, though home-educated in her family's 365-room castle, penned a tapestry of 33 books, from biographies (Daughter of France) to novels (No Signposts in the Sea) and a history of nursery rhymes; in Sissinghurst Castle, Kent, England...
...place for them now. As for M. Mays, who the other day assaulted the New York Mets' little Elio Chacon the way the Giants were assaulting the Mets, he is coming out of a slump which did not prevent him from leading the league with 16 home runs. Teammate Orlando Cepeda is right behind him in that department with 11, leads with 49 runs batted in, and is wielding a .349 bat. Felipe Alou is third among N.L. hitters with a .338 mark...
...introduced a lupine character named Simple J. Malarkey, who looked so much like the late U.S. Senator from Wisconsin (whom Kelly called "one of the great alltime comedians") that the Orlando, Fla., Sentinel threw out Kelly's strip, and several other papers filed complaints. Again in 1958, when the furor over public school integration reached one of its peaks, Kelly set Pogo the possum to talking about "speakeasy" schoolrooms, "consegregated," "de-consegregated" and "non-un-de-consegregated" schools. One Southern paper, by judicious editing, purified the sequence for its readers, and another dropped it entirely...
