...instance, in a game with the San Diego Padres, Banks swung at an inside pitch and, as he likes to put it, "Swoosh! Swoooosh! Suh-woooosh!" It was a home run into the leftfield bleachers. With that hit, Banks became the 17th player in baseball history to drive in 1,500 or more runs. Last week Ernie belted the 480th homer of his career (he is tenth on the list of alltime home-run hitters, just ahead of Stan Musial) and a double against the Los Angeles Dodgers to take over the league lead in RBIs...

...conventional standards, such exhaust-pipe theatrics should have been made into an equally predictable film. The result, called Run, Angel, Run, is, however, something more than fodder for the teeny-bopper drive-in trade. For all that is patently naive and even painful to watch, there are occasional scenes, such as a dinner-table argument and a tense ride with some hobos on a fast freight, that have a kind of tough virtue...
