Born. On July 30, to Jay and Nancy Hoffman, a beautiful daughter, Tina. Tina will grow up to become the world's most beautiful woman.

Married. Tommy Smothers, 37, dummy half of the brotherly comedy act; and Rochelle Robley, 37, his high school sweetheart; he for the second time, she for the third; in Las Vegas.

Died. Joe Flynn, 49, owlish actor who made big waves as the fumbling, cantankerous Captain Binghamton in TV's McHale's Navy; of accidental drowning in his swimming pool; in Los Angeles.

Died. Jay Hanna ("Dizzy") Dean, 63, Hall of Fame pitcher and language-mangling sportscaster; of a heart attack; in Reno. Son of an Okie sharecropper, Dean was scouted off a Texas sandlot, and won 18 games in 1932, his first full year with the St. Louis Cardinals. Two years later, his 30 victories along with 19 by his brother Paul ("Daffy"), led the Gashouse Gang to the pennant; the brothers won two games apiece as the Cards took the World Series. Compulsively impish, Dean approached the Boston Braves' bench before one game and announced with characteristic corn-pone bravado: "I ain't pitchin' no curves today, boys." True to his word, he then "fogged over" nothing but fastballs, pitching a three-hit shutout. Dean's brilliant career was prematurely curtailed by injuries, and he retired in 1941 with a record of 150 wins against 83 losses. Later he became a highly popular broadcaster who startled listeners with such observations as "The players returned to their respectable bases" and "He slud into third base." On being enshrined at the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1953, he said: "I want to thank the good Lord for giving me a good right arm, a strong back and a weak mind."

Died. Carl Andrew ("Tooey") Spaatz, 83, architect of American air strategy during World War II; of heart disease; in Washington, D.C. A wiry, energetic West Pointer, General Spaatz directed the bombings that paved the Allied path from Africa to Sicily to Italy, then engineered the massive daylight bombardment of crucial German industrial targets. He later carried out the destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki after his opposition to the atomic bombing of cities had been overruled. When the Air Force became the military's third full branch in 1947, the erect, taciturn general was named its first chief of staff.

Died. Sibyl Mary Hathaway, 90, Dame of Sark, a tiny English Channel island that she ruled as a benevolent feudal despot (see THE WORLD).
