...Bauer last winter and grinned: "Hello, Hitler!" Gentile now labors for last-place Kansas City. Outfielder Willie Kirkland showed up three days late for spring training. Bauer fined him $100 for each day, then sold him to Washington-a comedown that could cost Willie approximately $10,000 in bonus money if the Orioles win the pennant. Three young players who missed a midnight curfew by 20 minutes got off with lighter sentences: two laps around the field, double time. "Just remember," said Bauer, "if you ream me, I got the last ream...

Managers cultivate local trade with a host of gimmicks: some have opened soda fountains in their stores, and the Colonial chain offers chairs and tables for weary shoppers to rest beside the soft-drink dispensers. Stores are also staying open longer. Kroger two weeks ago started doing business on Sundays in Ohio, and Grand Union in Norfolk stays open 24 hours daily to accommodate the round-the-clock shipyard shifts...
