Campbell Defies Putts and Plans British Amateur Bid
FOXMBY England AP Campbell, 44, of Huntington West Virginia led 37 Americans in the British Amateur Championship at Sandwich, vowing this could be his last bid to win the event. He boasted a clean run through four Walker Cup matches and commented on his quiet competitive mood as he eyes the title. Baseball notes follow with top AL and NL batting leaders, including Kaline and Clemente, plus daily scores and standings. A Longfellow bust added to Westminster Abbey’s Poets Corner marks a rare honor for an American poet.
