Tactics turned out to be the last thing General Manager Gabe Paul was worrying about when he hired Birdie. "You assume that, all the way down to Class D, managers know when to bunt or when to hit-and-run," says Paul. "The important thing is common sense, the ability to handle men." Paul had been thinking of Birdie in terms of those attributes ever since he read some of Birdie's scouting reports on American Association players.

...Even Don is surprised. When the Redlegs got him from Chicago last fall, he was ready to quit baseball if he did not have a good year.

Paul accused Brooklyn's Sal Maglie of warming up by firing fast balls at the Scoreboard clock in Crosley Field. The clock stopped. "Officials of the Brooklyn club are being advised of this act of 'senior delinquency,' " said Paul-and they are also getting the repair bill...
...informal University marathon team will enter the Patriot's Day Boston Marathon tomorrow. Starting the 26 mile race at 12 noon will be Gabe Mirkin, a trophy winner in the 10 1/2 mile Cathedral Run, Bob Holmes '57, who placed in the Hyde Shoe 12-miler, Eric Segal, a member of the track team, and Jim Doty, a shot putter who weighs around 250 pounds but has decided to test his endurance. Although there have been many finishers from the College, a Harvard man has yet to win a medal by finishing among the top 35 in the traditional Marathon...
