Fractured Hip May Curtail Stengel's Baseball Career
New York Mets manager Casey Stengel, age 75, underwent hip surgery at Roosevelt Hospital to repair a fractured left hip. Dr. Peter Lamotte said a hip prosthesis could let him walk earlier, but recovery may last at least three weeks and could curtail his managing career. Stengel fractured the hip leaving a car early Sunday and had prior wrist injury at West Point. Wes Westrum was named interim manager during his convalescence.

Pa State Senate Defeats Boxing Ban Proposal
In Harrisburg the Pennsylvania Senate defeated a proposal to temporarily ban professional boxing and closed circuit telecasts until federal regulation. The 33 to 8 vote drew solid Democratic opposition. The bill, sponsored by Sen. Albert R. Pechan, faced criticism as an unlawful form of censorship and was amended to apply only to professional boxing pending federal oversight. Penalties included fines up to 5000 dollars and five years in jail for officials, with lesser penalties for attendees.
