Manhattan Restaurateur Toots Shor's motto in life has long been, "Having friends is better than having money." As the town's No. i host to sportsmen, writers and politicians, Shor built a reputation as a fabulous spender, was often broke but never for a moment lacked for loyal friends. Last week Shor had no lack of money, either. For $1,500,000 he sold his leasehold, which still has nine years to run, on his 51 West 51st Street restaurant, which he has operated since 1940.

Then, suddenly, he switched signals and wanted to know what all the fuss was about -meanwhile prudently surveying the $1.000,000 worth of damage with his insurance broker...
...Stan toyed with the restful notion of quitting after he rapped out his 3,000th. Now he knows better. Stepping up to the plate and swinging free-not for fence-busting homers, but for those record-breaking base hits-is a steady satisfaction for the part-time banker and restaurateur who no longer needs the $100,000 salary that makes him the highest paid player in National League history.
