...Dispatch. Recently, he commissioned the Globe-Democrat March. "The Globe-Democrat is a strong, militant, patriotic paper," he explained, "and I thought a march would be in character."

The paper pronounced the piece a hit: "When it was over-all too quickly, it seemed-Mr. D'Artega turned to face applause that left no doubt as to the acceptance of his creation...

To preserve that lead in the bottom of the 15th, National League Manager Walter Alston did what seemed to be a foolish and romantic thing. He called on Righthand Pitcher Tom Seaver, 22, a smooth-cheeked rookie from the last-place New York Mets. A fly ball, a walk, another fly and a strikeout later, young Tom strutted off the mound with the game ball clutched happily in his hand...
