...lead to the inept Chicago White Sox to lose, 10-9, threw away another game to the cellar-dwelling Washington Senators, 9-8, when two Yankee infielders let an easy pop fly fall between them for a hit. This week, after losing two straight to the challenging Boston Red Sox, the Yankees saw their lead vanish as Boston drew up into a dead tie for first. In spite of ill luck and an astonishing succession of injuries (70 since the season began), the nervy Yankees had hung on until the final week of the season. Then, after a third straight...

...Donald Carr Sparks has been vicar there for only ten years. But to Vicar Sparks the church's drab interior and plain, pitch-pine pews seemed "very institutional." Last week, the parishioners of Bolton upon Dearne were doggedly trying out a brave new ecclesiastical color scheme-red (pews), white (walls) and blue (doors). "The whole idea," Vicar Sparks explained, "is to bring color and warmth to the church without making it gaudy...
