...outfield, the Dodgers are solid. Carl Furillo has one of the strongest throwing arms in the majors. Only fast or foolhardy men will try to run on him when he gets a jump on the ball.

Even a high outside ball, if Duke can reach it, will wind up in the leftfield stands. Junior Silliam, who broke in as Brooklyn's second...

Dream of Danger. Pushed along by winds up to 30 knots, strongest ever recorded in a trans-Pacific race (the Los Angeles Weather Bureau had predicted the weakest breezes yet), the Morning Star made the most of every gust. But her crew paid a rough price for their speed. All ports were closed against the high following seas, and sleep was almost impossible for the watch below. Boiling ahead of the trade winds, the white-hulled yacht climbed wave crests and planed down like a surfboard. The mainsail boom sliced dangerously through the sea.
