Scoreboard
P:Hunting in Alaska's rugged Kenai Peninsula, an Anchorage editor named Glenn B. Walker shot a moose that seemed to stand as high as the moon, wrestled the antlers back to civilization to learn that the 81-in. spread outspanned the claimed world record of 75 5/8in.
P:With his usual blend of control, curves and craft, aging (37) Southpaw Warren Spahn of the pennant-bound Milwaukee Braves defeated the St. Louis Cardinals, 8-2, for his 20th win of the season (against ten losses), thereby became the first major-league lefthander ever to win 20 or more games for nine seasons.
P: With calm efficiency, the New York Yankees dispatched the Kansas City Athletics, 5-3, to clinch the American League pennant, their fourth in a row and their tenth in the last twelve seasons, settled back for two relaxed weeks before next month's World Series. P:Already the youngest player ever to win the U.S. chess championship, Brooklyn's 15-year-old Bobby Fischer (TIME, March 24) became the youngest International Grand Master ever named by the International Chess Federation after finishing in a creditable fifth-place tie against some of the world's best players in the interzone tournament in Yugoslavia, qualified for next year's matches to select a challenger for Russia's World Champion Mikhail Botvinnik.
