Thoughts After Memorial Day From a Sports Wit
A long column ribbing sports writers and telecasters after a Memorial Day stretch. It notes an eighth straight telecast win, a dodgy pitcher episode with Elroy Hirsch and Tom Harmon, and mentions Ryne Duren. It quotes Joe Reichler on Frank Howard and mocks local figures, with holiday jabs at Hollypark officials and others.

Dodgers Trade Spencer for Davis in Two for One Swap
Dodgers acquire Daryl Spencer from the Cardinals in a two for one deal that sends Tommy Davis to outfield and the Cardinals receive shortstop Bobbie Lillis and outfielder Carl Warwick. Spencer, 31, is expected to bolster Los Angeles at the Coliseum with power and defense, while Davis shifts back to his original outfield position. Warwick and Lillis failed to secure regular roles with the Dodgers, though Warwick shows defensive promise and Lillis hit .296 in parts of four seasons. Spencer, entering age 32 on July 13, believes the move strengthens the Dodgers’ pennant chances.
