...world has gone to pot. There was a time when the very least that a baseball fan could count on was that New York - or Brooklyn, anyway -would win the National League pennant, and the Philadelphia Phillies would wind up shoveling coal in the cellar. The Polo Grounds is a gutted steel skeleton now; Ebbets Field is apartment houses. And last week the Phillies were leading the league...
...Moonbird, for instance, grossed at least as much as its production costs (about $25,000), but only a third of the gross wound up at Storyboard, Inc. As a full length feature, Of Stars and Men, will receive independent distribution, so that a greater share of the proceeds will wind up at Storyboard.

Big Pete was a sprinter, a good one to be sure, but at the 1¾-mile distance of the Preakness, he figured to wind up, as horsemen say, "absolutely"-meaning somewhere up the track. But The Scoundrel, Quadrangle and Roman Brother had won five races and $188,000 this year among them. And then there was Hill Rise, beaten by a neck in the Kentucky Derby, gaining with every stride. Should've won, the experts said, and a steal, even...
