A column argues that pitcher ratings misstate value because team support skewers stats. Phil Marchildon of the Athletics is highlighted for high performance despite weak backing, while owner Cornelius MacGillicuddy's long tenure and reluctance to rebuild contrast with his players' prospects. The piece concludes that viewpoint, not pure stats, shapes appreciation of sport.

Britain’s Little Ships Help Solve Housing Shortage
Thousands of Britain’s World War II small craft are being sold or repurposed as floating homes for homeless ex servicemen and families. More than 7 000 people have asked the Admiralty to sell torpedo boats cabins and landing craft, with as many as 20 000 families expected to live in houseboats by year end. Several firms have converted vessels already, including a firm buying 80 landing craft.
