Pray Boru! Immodest as his words may sound, Shoriki is right. His optometrists consider him terribly myopic, but time after time he has proved himself dazzlingly farsighted. In the 1930s he introduced besuboru to Japan by bringing Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Jimmy Foxx and Lefty O'Doul to the Orient for a barnstorming tour. An ultranationalist fanatic later hefted a broadsword and hacked a 16-in. scar into the left side of his head for permitting foreigners like the Bambino to desecrate sacred Meiji Stadium, but Shoriki went on to form Japan's first professional baseball league...
...corkscrew stance, stepped into a pitch thrown by the Dodgers' Bob Miller, and cracked it into the Busch Stadium bleachers. I was his 465th home run, and together with 717 doubles and 175 triples, it gave him a lifetime total of 1,357 extra-base hits_breaking Babe Ruth's alltime record. After 21 seasons in the majors, Musial holds or shares 55 records in all, including National League marks for most games played (2,923), most times at bat (10,699), most base hits (3,459), most total bases (6,021). He is a three-time Most...

...Babe's actors, Donald Lyons and Andreas Teuber, have refused to attempt to bore. Mr. Lyons' rebellion, happily enough, has extended to a complete repudiation of his part. He is the Duke; not Shakespeare's Duke, to be sure, but a dazzlingly royal admixture of Hapsburg and Abdul Hammid, of Bette Davis and John Finley, with perhaps a hint of Angela Lansbury and Major Strasser. When he is on the stage, he does not dominate so much as devastate the pretensions of everyone else. He is, in fact, infinitely more attractive than Shakespeare's Duke ever...
...Babe has been more fortunate in the rest of his cast, which is helplessly inept. Philip Heckscher's pre-adolescent and pre-Raphaelite Claudio cannot conceivably be guilty of the crime for which he stands condemned. Presumably he hopes to play Hamlet some day; meanwhile he might blow his nose--and get into something roomier than the shockingly indecent tights he has been asked to wear. Carol Schectman gives us a plump-cheeked, milkmaid, Putney-girl Isabella and somehow makes a two-dimensional part seem barely one-dimensional. Jacqueline Winer transforms Mistress Overdone into an inaudible New Orleans madam...
