Aug 8 Sunday Pop took us, Molly & Sam and Madeline & Jerry to Woodlawn where I split with Levitan. I won a chess game from pop. Molly had a back-ache but sat and chatted with Lil & Madeline. Jerry worked on my baseball puzzles after the ball games. In the "Mile of the Centruy" Roger Bannister defeated John Landy with a 3:58.8.
