FRIDAY 30 DECEMBER 1966
364th day - 1 day to come

Called Jules Cooper again, Their legal secretary was sick and is
behind in her work. But there is no hitch in their plans
for OPERATION SEARCH. He doesn't seem to understand my solution
to the puzzle. Discussed it somewhat but will get
together soon to discuss it, and other things.

At Pilk's bought SCORE-A-WORD. Probably I'll return it and
add to the money and buy THE ADVERTISING GAME
.

At Macy's swayed a woman from buying ROYALTY and into
buying BALI instead.
Saw CHAMPIONSHIP BASEBALL (Tod Lansing's Championship Games).
An elaborate game for baseball fans. Each player has a roster
of 25 players with their batting, fielding, and (for pitchers)
pitching factors. Also whether right handed or left handed.
The pitcher (player in the field) has a number of
different cards with different types of pitches. Batter
(player at bat) has a series of cards for different
actions at bat. Each chooses one secretly and the
relationship determines whether it is a strike, ball, or a
hit ball. If the latter, the batter throws 3 dice and the
fielder 2. The difference between the two totals
(corrected for factors in the batter's card) tells the kind
of hit it is, such as line-drive, grounder, etc. If the
defensive total is larger than the offensive total ona swing, it is a strike swinging.
