...actor of some polish and a good deal of aplomb, but his Iago is a shallow study of the dissimulating Venetian. It was obvious from the faint smile on his face throughout the play that Mr. Graves was enjoying himself, in his characterization of Iago as a pret-ty clever bird.

The boys call it "showboat baseball." He is not, in his first year, the greatest baserunner since Ty Cobb, but he is mighty good. Cobb made a practice of coming in with spikes aimed at anyone brave enough to get in his way. It wouldn't have been politic for Jackie to do it that way very often. Robinson's base running, which resembles more the trickiness...
