Cubs Seek Top Gun as Manager Search Shapes Up
Chicago Cubs owner William Wrigley Jr talks of redefining the manager role amid a night-game debate. Elvin Tappe, in Cubs circles since 1947, sits at meetings and is linked as a potential leader, with names like Billy Jurges also floated as candidates. The club has been without a field general since Lou Boudreau’s departure after the 1959 season, part of a sequence tracing back to 1954.

Giants To Reduce Outfield at Candlestick Park
SAN FRANCISCO AP The Giants plan to shrink Candlestick Park outfield acreage to ease wind effects for hitters. Left center to right center will be tightened, with foul lines at 935 feet after St. Louis engineer Robert Kingsley studied wind and temperature. In 1960 only 77 homers were hit there, 4 by Giants and 31 by visitors. Kingsley said the shortened field will still suit the park.
