Word went out that Dole was running a distant third behind Buchanan and Forbes. G.O.P. leaders in Washington began making hand-holding calls to big contributors and found them in shock. When the Beltway Republicans reached the Governors, they found some so spooked they were thinking of peeling off and finding another candidate to back.

Although Cuban pelota remains a mystery to the average fan, baseball people know just how good it is. In his spring-training office in Scottsdale, Arizona, last week, Giants manager Dusty Baker rattled off some names--"Tony Perez, Tito Fuentes, Tony Taylor, Camilo Pascual, Tony Gonzalez, Pedro Ramos, Tony Oliva"--and then said, "Every Cuban I have ever played with or against knew how this game is played...
