Luck and Wind Help Creighton Native Sink 444 Yard Hole
Bob Mitera, a 21 year old Creighton University student and English major from Omaha, claims golf's longest hole-in-one at 444 yards on Miracle Hill. He attributes it largely to luck and a strong wind gusting to 50 mph that carried the ball to a drop off and into the hole. Mitera's feat surpasses the previous record of 427 yards by Lou Donohue at the Hofner course in Oklahoma City. He reacts with disbelief but accepts the record as fact.

Robinson Bolsters AL 300 Club
Baltimore's purchase of slugging outfielder Frank Robinson from Cincinnati adds depth to the American League's small group of players with 300 batting averages.

The NL, by contrast, features seven players in the 300 circle, including Aaron, Mays, Clemente, Cepeda, and Davis among others.
