Scope & Content: The original release sheet reads: WORLD SERIES The Cardinals win the open 2-1, on the strength of Bob Gibson's pitching while Lou Brock ties a series record for getting four hits. Santiago homer's for Boston's only run. Boston evens the series by taking the second game, 5 - 0, as Longborg gets a I-hitter and Yastrezemski homers twice. SHIP A sunken Danish freighter is re-floated by air-filled plastic balls that look like ping-pong balls. The spheres are pumped into the ship's hold until their lifting force is enough to raise her. JUSTICE MARSHALL Thurgood Marshall, great-grandson of a slave and the first Negro to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court, tries on his official robes. President Johnson named him to replace retiring justice Tom Clark. TRAIN CRASH 15 dead, 40 injured in a train derailment near the Indian-Pakistan border. Sabotage by pro-Peking communists is suspected since the derailment occurred one week after Sino-Indian clashes on the Sikkim-Tibet border. LAST TRAM West Berlin's final Tram trundles its way to the terminal for the last time in the midst of great pomp and nostalgic ceremony. Streetcar buffs buy collector's items before the close-down. BUCKPASSER "Buckpasser," third-ranked money winner in racing history, retires from t he track because of an arthritic foreleg. The colt was "Horse of the Year" in '66 and won close to $1.5 million. GRAND PRIX The U.S. Grand Prix at Watkins Glen, New York, is won by Scotland's Jim Clark, averaging close to 121 miles an hour. England's Graham Hill is second, New Zealand's Dennis Hulme, third.
