...only uncaptured kappa man was Mag, the philosopher, who was too ugly and stayed inside his house almost all the time reading books in a dusky room lighted by a seven-color glass lantern. When No. 23 congratulated him on his bachelorhood, Mag sighed, said wistfully: "It's quite natural that you don't see how we feel, because you are not a kappa. But occasionally I myself desire those dreadful she-kappa to run after...
...Series was one terrible wallop he took at a ball in a Panama exhibition game-it landed 476 feet, 10 inches from homeplate and rolled another 101 feet. Pitchers, usually far ahead of batters in the spring, were throwing him outside balls. When they did, 31-year-old Di Mag practiced hitting to right field (the right field home run fence at Yankee Stadium, once Babe Ruth's pet target, is the closest).

Hollow-cheeked, 31, and still nursing ulcers, Di Mag stepped to bat one day last week, swung as if the final game of the World Series depended on it, clouted one homer, one double, and two singles in four times up. Ex-Marine Ted Williams, 27, once content to be baseball's best batsman, was now working at his fielding, too. Brooklyn's Dixie Walker, the pride of Flatbush, was no cinch to be a regular...
