...backward race for the National League pennant will move to the next to the last day. The Giants will play a double-header in Pittsburgh with Juan Marichal scheduled to pitch one, and the Dodgers will serve up the "new" Don Drysdale against the Phillies...
...Forest Lawn begin at $385 for the cheapest grave; after that, there is literally no limit. Eaton put up giant billboards all over Los Angeles, traded heavily on Adman Bruce Barton's slogan describing Forest Lawn as "a first step up toward Heaven." Eaton's basic pitch: "Everything at time of sorrow, in one sacred place, under one friendly management, with one convenient credit arrangement and a year to pay. ONE TELEPHONE CALL DOES EVERYTHING...
...plainly demoralized. Quinn, who plays a head-shaven Kublai Khan, just sort of sits there on his throne looking like Yul Brynner with a nasty case of jaundice.

But even more than most pitchers, Sandy needs the rhythm of regular rotation every four days. He decided to try-by eliminating his sidearm delivery and the wrenching slider, or fast curve, from his repertoire. With the help of ice packs, he did not miss a turn all year long, posted a 26-8 record for the regular season, and then pitched the Dodgers to victory in the World Series...
