...worst defeat since Bunker Hill," moaned the correspondent for the London Daily Telegraph. It certainly couldn't have been much worse. In four races against Constellation, the U.S. America's Cup defender, Britain's $300,000 challenger, Sovereign, did nothing to support her name. She lost the first race by 5 min. 34 sec.; the second by 20 min. 24 sec.; the third by 6 min. 33 sec. The fourth and final race last week was absolutely no contest...
...bankers, who give high ratings to radio investments. The FCC reckons that two-thirds of the owners pay practically no taxes, thanks to depreciation rules that permit writeoffs over an average of eight years. The men who make the rules are quick to take advantage of them. Edmund C. Bunker, president of the Radio Advertising Bureau, estimates that one-third of the members of Congress have interests in broadcasting...
...League pennant, they will be the most improbable champions in years. There is not a single solid .300 hitter on the club, not a single pitcher remotely able to win 20 games, not a single slugger with a chance for 125 RBIs. The best pitcher, 19-year-old Wally Bunker (season's record: 14-4), worked only four big-league innings before this year. The best run producer, hulking Outfielder Boog Powell (31 home runs, 80 RBIs), is sidelined with a chipped bone in his wrist. The most promising new acquisition, First Baseman Norm Siebern, is suffering through...
...American course. There are stone walls to play over, tiered greens the size of polo fields, and acre upon acre of prickly gorse, heather and sad. Nicknames are enough for the hazard: "The Twin Fangs of the Lady of Fife," "The Valley of Sin," "Hell Bunker." For a topper, there is the weather. The word "links," after all, originated in Scotland. It means "golf course by th sea," and in the case of St. Andrew; that means the North...
...games ahead of the pack. For a team that wound up seventh in 1962 and fourth last year, the Orioles seem too good to be true. Third Baseman Brooks Robinson (a .251-hitter in 1963), is batting a lusty .314. Outfielder Boog Powell has 20 homers. Rookie Pitcher Wally Bunker, 19, won his first six straight. And Shortstop Luis Aparicio, no longer bothered by the mysterious leg pains that slowed him down last year, has already stolen 31 bases-tops in either league...
