Fast travel over South America's great distances is the toughest part of the staff correspondent's job. Said Rio Bureau Chief Frank White a fortnight ago : "We often hold our story conferences in the back of our Jeepster. Everybody sleeps with a map of Brazil, plus assorted airlines timetables, on his night table." Just back from a 7,000-mile trip up the Amazon Valley, White sometimes covers points in northern Brazil that are closer to the United States than to his home...

Using a fire-engine red Jeepster, Greenberg hustled relief pitchers out of Cleveland's bull pen, got them to the mound in a matter of seconds compared to the ambling three to five minutes usually required. Less colorful, but equally timesaving, were two other Greenberg suggestions which the Indians now follow: 1) make a pitcher wait his batting turn in the "on deck" circle instead of in the dugout, and 2) make him go to the mound more promptly at the start of each inning.
