...Havasupai men able to work, only eight hold permanent jobs. While the tourist season lasts, the tribe's 300 horses are used to pack visitors to the canyon (at $16 a round trip). Some 6,000 came by foot or horseback last year, but the tribe has almost nothing in the way of handcrafted goods, restaurants or inns that might encourage visitors to leave their money behind. Moreover, the horses help to keep the tribe isolated. Efforts to put a cable car line or Jeep trail into Supai have been resisted by the Indians, who fear that their only...
...best remembered as the man who sent a 3-ft. 7-in. midget to bat against the Detroit Tigers,* he also performed some praiseworthy services for the game. He broke the color barrier in the American League by hiring Outfielder Larry Doby in 1947, set attendance records (his 1948 season total of 2,620,627 is still an American League mark) and led both the Indians and the White Sox to pennants. Such Veeck innovations as exploding scoreboards and relief pitchers riding in from the bullpen on golf carts are now standard...
...Super Bowl; three months later he watched in utter disbelief as the Bullets, boasting the best record in the National Basketball Association, managed to blow four straight games in the playoffs to the New York Knicks. But hope is on the wing again. Last week, at the season's midpoint, baseball's highflying Orioles enjoyed a lavish 10½-game lead over the second-place Boston Red Sox in the American League's Eastern Division. With a won-lost percentage over .700-by far the best in either league -the Orioles have clearly established themselves...
...sizable share of the credit goes to Pitcher Dave McNally, 26, a smooth, powerful lefthander. Last season, he won 14 games and lost only two after the All-Star break, winding up with a 22-10 record as the Orioles finished in second place behind the Detroit Tigers. This year he has already won eleven straight games. His overpowering performance has given the club a quality it had sorely lacked-leadership for a fitfully effective mound staff...
...made his debut with the Orioles by pitching a two-hit shutout against the Kansas City Athletics and winning a permanent place in the starting rotation. But then he became one of those supposedly sure bets that never quite pays off. Until last year, he had only one good season (13-6); that was 1966, the year the Orioles won the pennant and took the World Series in four straight. In 1967, he tore a tendon and developed something of a paunch, finished the year with a disappointing 7-7 record. Before the start of the 1968 season, however...
