...used as many as seven Negro and Latin American players in a single game's lineup. Negroes and Latin Americans have displaced several established players on the Giants-Negro Jim Ray Hart for Jim Davenport at third base, Puerto Rican Jose Pagán for Ed Bressoud at shortstop, Dominican Jesus Alou for Harvey Kuenn in rightfield...
...other hand, the Red Sox' performance at the plate has been more than enough to keep the home town fans' interest alive. There is hardly a weak link in the entire batting order. Old pro Frank Malzone (.200) is turning in his usual fine performance; shortstop Eddie Bressoud (.305) and catchers Russ Nixon (.328) and Bob Tillman (.303) are having the finest years of their careers.

Finally, swinging haplessly, Pitcher Jack Sanford was the big No. 18, and Koufax had broken the league record of 17 strikeouts set by the Cardinals' Dizzy Dean in 1933, tied the major-league mark set by Cleveland's Fireballer Bob Feller in 1938. To cap his performance, Koufax singled in the rally that won the game...
