WAIKINS ALL SMILES CARR ALMOST CERTAIN
In Chicago the American league opening saw no immediate request for Chicago club entry, yet President Johnson indicated anticipation and unity to reject any such bid.

The leagues favor nine game World Series and tighter postponement rules to curb delays, while ruling on rubbing balls to enhance grip.
