Leontyne Price wants a chunk of the stage floor. Richard Tucker has his bid in for a slab of the proscenium arch inscribed VERDI. Rise Stevens has al ready filched the brass numeral 11 from the door of her old dressing room. Regine Crespin would like the toilet seat from No. 10; she plans to install it in her own bathroom...
Died. Sophie Tucker, 79, the "last of the Red-Hot Mamas"; of lung cancer; in Manhattan. Buxom, brassy and schmalzy, she toured the whole of show biz, breaking into vaudeville at 20, shimmying her way into Cole Porter's 1938 Broadway hit Leave It to Me and Hollywood's Honky Tonk, but mostly working the cabaret circuit, where for 50 years she made them hum along with Blue Skies, grow misty-eyed with Some of These Days, and roar over her gravelly Nobody Loves a Fat Girl, But Oh How a Fat Girl Can Love!

And Flanker Bobby Mitchell of the Washington Redskins is already "slowing down fast"-at the age of 30. There is only one player in the game today whose ability...
...pick the resurgent New York Giants for second, mostly on the strength of their hammering young backs -- Steve Thurlow, Tucker Fredrickson, Ernie Koy, and yes, Yalle Chuck Mercein. The NFL hasn't seen many teams rely on a ground game in a number of years so the Giants should be interesting to watch...
