Cuba's ex-Dictator Fulgencio Batista disclosed a recent meeting with a bird of his own feather. Now enjoying uneasy asylum in the Dominican Republic, Batista was strolling along Ciudad Trujillo's seafronting Avenida George Washington, minding his own business, when who should come along, astride a motor scooter, but Argentina's ex-Dictator Juan Perón, also on the lam. According to Batista, they chatted about no counterrevolutions, just the weather and other pleasantries. Observed Batista: "Perón has got a good sense of humor and he was very friendly...

Teams far down in the standings have somehow taken on a new glamour. In Washington, the Senators are in their customary place at the bottom of the league, but fans are filling seats that have stood empty for years, on the chance that one of the new murderers' row of strong, silent sluggers may send a ball soaring toward the Capitol dome. Even lowly...
...good slugger, he can come alive at any moment, and last week, swinging with power and precision, he came alive. Fighting his way out Of a 25-game slump, Rocky drove in five runs to raise his total to 88, second in the league to the 91 of Washington's Harmon ("The Killer") Killebrew, hit two home runs to boost his figure to 34, just two short of Killebrew's total. It hardly mattered that Rocky's batting average at week's end was only .272. He was paid for the long ball...
