...wardrobe he bade Motley create is motley indeed. Orlando spends his time in overalls (who ever heard of a fairy-tale hero's heading for the altar in overalls?). His brother Oliver wears riding habit, carries cigars, and flourishes a cigarette lighter. The usurping Duke Frederick is decked out entirely in white, except for a diplomat's baldric-like red sash, and, with his beard, is a double for Peter Ustinov.

As it is, Felipe Alou figures to hit close to .300, and his defensive play should be invaluable beneath the tricky winds of Candlestick Park. Hitting in front of Mays will be third baseman Harvey Kuenn, acquired from Cleveland this winter. It would defy algebraic dictates if Mays, Kuenn, and Cepeda finish one-two-three among...
