But he managed seven other world champions, including Mick ey Walker and Archie Moore, and threw away the millions he made faster than it came in.

Another possibility, Jim Bun ning of Detroit who has been bril liant in four previous All-Star games, pitched Sunday, as did reliever Dick Radatz of the Red Sox.
