...team (100-meter free style and 400-meter relay) and set an American 100-meter mark (1:04.6) in the process. Shelley Mann of Washington, D.C.'s Walter Reed Swim Club should have been riding high, relaxed and easy. "But look at her," said her young (24) coach, Stan Tinkham (TIME, April 18, 1955). "You can almost see the adrenaline pumping through her. She'll swim each race a hundred times before she goes into the pool.

Last year, in fact, from the All-Star game to Labor Day, the Phillies were perhaps the best in the National League. Then Third Baseman Willie ("Puddin-head") Jones was hurt, First Baseman Stan Lopata was beaned, and the team faltered. "You look back on a season," says Roberts, "and you see two or three games, here and there, that if you'd won might have made the difference...
