Illinois: Ike handily. G.O.P. Governor William Stratton, still plagued by Republican state scandals, needs help against Democrat Richard Austin. Republican Senator Everett Dirksen is in a hard race, but favored over Democrat Richard Stengel...
...Fourth victim of the annual baseball-manager shifts, Marty Marion resigned as manager of the third-place Chicago White Sox. Said "Mr. Shortstop" frankly: "They were not happy with my work." More happily, the Baseball Writers Association named the Manager of the Year: New York Yankees' Casey Stengel in the American League, George ("Birdie") Tebbetts, of the third-place Cincinnati Redlegs, in the National League...

But his teammates went on a rampage. Stengel flung one pitcher after another into the fray (for a World Series record of seven), but the Dodgers hit them all impartially and often, whenever they were not drawing walks (the Yankees' seven pitchers issued eleven bases on balls, another series record). The game produced several other records...
