Braves trade to Giants proves a dream nightmare for club
The Milwaukee Braves hoped Bobby Thomson and Sam Calderone would end their pennant quest but injuries and mixed results plagued the deal. Thomson is hurt through spring, Calderone played sparingly, while Antonelli and Liddle thrived for Milwaukee in loss or gain.

Pacific Northwest Pipeline appeal delays cross border project
The Pacific Northwest Pipe Line Corp of Houston holds a U.S. permit to ship natural gas but Westcoast Transmission Co plans to appeal the Federal Power Commission ruling. Experts at a Canadian conference expect the appeal to push the project back a year or more. Westcoast executives argued access to capital will be scarce, delaying the pipeline’s movement into the Northwest. Also noted, Billy Graham left Stockholm for Copenhagen after a Sweden stop.
