The Dodgers swept the Giants in a doubleheader in San Francisco and
moved into a first-place tie for the National League pennant. Milwaukee
was in third place but only a game out.

Two things stood out in The Times' coverage:

–A wonderful photo on the jump showed several Dodgers, including Wally Moon and Don Zimmer, playing cards between games.

–A small story noted that news of Charlie Neal's two-run double
stopped play during the Rams' game against the Eagles at the Coliseum.
"The blow caused such a terrific roar from the crowd listening on
radios that play was suspended because Bill Wade's signals were drowned
out," The Times reported.

Once again, the power of Vin Scully.
