BASEBALL'S BEST

Most remarkable record in this season's book belongs to little (5 ft. 8 in., 155 Ibs.) Elroy Face, relief pitcher for the Pittsburgh Pirates (TIME, June 22). Last week Face beat the Philadelphia Phillies 7-6, to make his record a startling 17-0, and to extend his winning streak over two seasons to 22 games. Face has not lost since May 30, 1958, has often been helped by the happy knack of the Pirates of winning extra-inning games (18 out of 20 this year). Baseball's leaders, with four weeks to play:
