Another excellent collection of true sports pieces, selected by the same jury which includes F.P.A., John Chamberlin, and Quentin Reynolds. Fortunately, there are again sharp differences of opinion, which makes for wider appeal in selections included. The ""best"" on which they reached a measure of harmony is Heinz's Fighter's Wife, a moving story of how the wife of Rocky Graziano, the ""bad boy"" in the fight game, feels when her man is fighting. It's a moving tale. These stories are drawn from newspapers the country over, from magazines, etc. and run the gamut of sport.
