...strong big three, but their only real batting strength comes from catcher Sherm Lollar and Jim Landis. Nellie Fox is always a dependable singles hitter, and Luis Aparicio is one of the classic players in the good-field no-hit school, combining with Fox for an excellent double-play pair...
...result of the tour, the doubles situation has now cleared up considerably. The newly formed combination of Weld and Bowditch is improving steadily, and came very close to winning at number one against Presbyterian. They beat out last year's second pair of Gallwey and Vinton in a special match at Clinton last Tuesday.

He had the protruding ears of a Buddha, the moles that marked the traces of a second pair of arms, the ability to pick out from a collection of objects-rosaries, canes, drums for summoning servants-the ones that belonged to the old man. In 1939, aged 4, seated on a golden palanquin, he was borne to Lhasa, where he was soon enthroned as the 14th incarnation...
