Kaat is a left-hander who relies on the kind of slow-balling "stuff" that can send the Dodgers into contortions. He's probably the best prospect the Twins have for a consistent winner against Los Angeles. But the luck of the draw has placed him opposite Sandy Koufax, a winner of still more consistent sort...
...Tosmah: the $28,800 Maskette Handicap for fillies and mares; at New York's Aqueduct race track. Despite their sex, Tony Imbesi's four-year-old Tosmah, the 1964 filly champion, and Ethel Jacobs' five-year-old Affectionately, winner of $169,806 this year, are perhaps the two top thoroughbreds in the U.S. Equally weighted at 128 Ibs., they matched stride for stride practically all the way; judges needed a photo to determine that Tosmah was the winner by the narrowest of noses...

Winner of the U.S. Open, and a gentleman farmer from Magoebaskloff, South Africa, Player headed straight home (via chartered jet to New York, airlines the rest of the way), remarking: "I've got 1,000 trout in my fishponds, and I need all of them because Jack Nicklaus is coming over in February to fish...
