Then you look at Boston's pitching, and you wonder how the team has gone so far with so little. Jim Lonborg, it is true, has been phenomenal, and is the winningest pitcher in the majors. Gary Bell, who was acquired from Cleveland in a trade, has won six games for the Sox, but it is highly doubtful that he will keep it up. The other starters--Lee Stange, Gary Waslewski, and Darrell Brandon--run the gamut from mediocre to awful...
...history; his countryman, Manuel Ycaza, has won more than 2,000 races in eleven years. The best grass-course rider in the U.S. is Heliodoro Gustines, and of the eleven top money winners so far in 1967, four are Panamanians: Baeza, Jacinto Vasquez, Lafitt Pincay Jr. and the winningest jockey of them all, Jorge Velasquez, 20. With 248 victories by last week, Velasquez seems almost certain to become the third man ever to win more than 400 races in one year...
...batting .327 with 25 homers and 72 RBIs; Rightfielder Tony Conigliaro had 19 homers and a .305 average; First Baseman George Scott was hitting .290 and Shortstop Rico Petrocelli was at .280.

Tall & Talkative. All that recognition was almost too much for Princeton's Willem H. van Breda Kolff, 44, although he is the third winningest coach in college basketball. "Butch" van Breda Kolff quit Princeton in 1947 after three years to play pro ball with the New York Knickerbockers, gave that up after three seasons to become a coach - at Lafayette, Hofstra, and then Princeton. In 16 seasons, his teams have won 294 games v. 106 losses-a record topped only by Kentucky's Adolph Rupp and U.C.L.A.'s Johnny Wooden. Van Breda Kolff insists that Princeton...
