...Orioles had all they could do to stay in first place. They took two out of three from Minnesota-one of them on a magnificent one-hitter by Miltiades Stergios Papastedgios-only to run into the red-hot Angels and get burned 7-1. Bauer took the loss in stride. "This is the way I see it," he said. "We'll take four out of six against Washington, Kansas City, Minnesota and Los Angeles. We'll take two out of three from Cleveland. We'll split four with Detroit. That gives us 99 wins -and that...

At the finish, he was a full 100 yds. in front, and the roar that erupted must have echoed all the way to Spokane...
That prosperity cum poverty parlay is, of course, the election-year daily double that President Johnson hopes to have pay off, and last week he took a substantive stride in the direction of the cashier's window. After two days of stormy debate, the Senate cut Johnson's anti-poverty program by only $15 million, to $947.5 million, and passed it by a resounding roll-call vote of 62 to 33. Fifty-two Democrats and ten liberal Republicans voted for the measure, while eleven Democrats, mostly Southern, and 22 Republicans, led by Barry Goldwater, cried...
