...Dirtiest Trick. The humiliation was total - because the Yanks had no excuse. They outscored the Cardinals 33 to 32, outslugged them ten home runs to five. Outfielder Mickey Mantle clouted three homers to run his Series record to 18 (the old mark: 15, set by Babe Ruth); Bobby Richardson clicked out 13 hits to break a 39-year-old mark. Cardinal pitchers had an earned-run average of 4.29 (v. 3.77 for the Yanks), and Star Reliever Barney Schultz staggered through the Series with an ERA of 18. But St. Louis won-and with the most exciting display of guts...

...home, though, when Charleston's Medical College Hospital got an identical case. Larry Jones, also aged two, had gorged himself on mother's iron tablets and was in critical condition. Pediatrician John R. Paul Jr. decided to take the same steps as Dr. Thorne. The trick was to find more Desferal, and it turned out that Duke Hospital had had only that one dose. Another was located at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta, and this time an Air Force plane picked it up. When Larry was finally out of danger, Dr. Paul said: "I think the Desferal probably...
...Tiger by the Wheel." Gimmick manufacturers are selling countless cloth tiger tails, priced from 18? to $1, to department stores. Humble dealers have sold thousands of tiger-tail tips to customers, most of whom clip them onto gas tanks. This fall Humble is ready to introduce napkins, clothing, and trick-or-treat bags with the tiger theme on all of them...
