- THIRTEEN DAYS AND SIX GAMES after it finally
began World Series still unresoved as the Geneva
arms talks In fairness both parties however it must
be said they have valid excuses for the creeping procras
alton The basebaers have visited by hostile weather
and the peacemakers by inclement delegates.
All in ALL this has been big month for running
shows to come to an end. my Fair Lady" closed down
Broadway the other day and here in Washington the
Congress- which also threatened to set an endurance
record, finally hit the road
The impending end Of the baseball tournament will
be greeted with halelujahs from many quarters Young
Dr. Malone for example, who had been anesthetizing
viewers regularly until the series started again can
resume his Tv house calls.

EVEN THE BASEBALL SET grew fearful at the base
ball delays few postponementS and the Yankees
and Giants might have run over until mid-April when
the Boston Cetics and the L. A. Lakers usually are still
in the double-dribble playoffs.
Until the Francisco monsoon subsidized began TO
appear that Jack Sanford who pitches for the Giants
today might be able to pitch both the sixth and seventh
games of the SERIES equal distribution OF the
rains instead of backtoback downpours would have made
such arrangement possible.
In view of Billy Pierces behavior against them yes
terday the Yanks probably would have welcomed the
procedure Sanford tough has proved to the Amer
lean Leaguer least be depended on for an occa
siona wild pitch for gift Against Pierce however
the Yanks had to scrub for themselves
THE END OF THE SERIES also can't come too soon
for Russ Hodges Mel Allen the Ev and Charlie version
Of sports show Allen and Hodges usually competent
have become phrased fear Yesterday for example
Hodges assured viewers the recent rainfall out here has
not dmed the enthusiasm of San anciscans but 1t has
only whetted their appettes."
Hodges was never Fighter Another drop OF rain IN
San Francisco and it would have wheted their appetes
for quick move to Los Angeles Allen when 1t came his
turn introduced Willie Mays the first time around thusy
Here's Willie Mays, who always hits Whitley Ford WIN
reckless abandon" The only trouble here is that Mays
was hitting Ford with baseball bat this instance, not
reckless abandon and ended the Giants nspid first
inning flareup by stroking into double play.

ONLY THE WORLD SERIES stopped for a while, not
the world The Redskins continued their nonlosng ways
although there few moments in ST. Louis Sunday
when this appeared extremely doubtful After blowing
1913 lead in the last quarter the team definitely fit
to be tied and that's what it got when Bobby Khayat
booted the equalizing field goal.
For many fans the victory that got away came as q
sickening blow Not however for the No. FAM George
Marshall who is also the No. stakeholder. GPM is
willing to settle for anything forfeit to shake
the teams mo win" policy of previous seasons.
If Marshall retted the outcome it wasn't apparent
from what he did said He at the airport Sunday
greet the team its return from St. Louis This
was an overt admission Marshals part that he also
has become bug-eyed the accomplishments Of his
So huskies
It was Marshas first visit to an airport since he bade
the Wright Brothers godspeed that day at Kitty Hawk
is better than loss" You have take the mans word
season and its surprises came around
