Friend Wins Again For Pirates In 6-2 Victory
Bob Friend threw his second straight complete game as the Pittsburgh Pirates defeated the Milwaukee Braves 6-2. The win moved Pittsburgh within a half game of first place in the National League, behind the San Francisco Giants. The Pirates scored three in the fourth on Clemens’s two-run homer and Smith’s double after two were out, sealing the comeback. Willie Mays powered San Francisco with a late double and five Giants homers, while Dodger errors aided Chicago. Detroit’s win kept them atop the American League standings as White Sox suffered first loss.

A humor piece from 1960 jokes about ending dog barking with a nonharmful pill and even louder remedies.

The piece closes with a quip about joining the dogs’ chorus.
