...always, spring training wound up with a flurry of activity. To cement their porous infield, the New York Yan kees purchased Dodger John Kennedy, who made only eight errors in 125 games last year; Kennedy committed two booboos in his first game for the Yanks. The Baltimore Orioles shipped Pitcher Steve Barber, a 20-game winner in 1963, back to the minors; the New York Mets astonished practically everybody by farming out veteran Centerfielder Johnny Lewis, their No. 1 hitter (at .387) during the Grapefruit League season, replacing him with Rookie Don Bosch-who batted .147 this spring...

We don't see a brisk wound-writhe-tumble sequence, then cut to the next scene. We watch the fall, the body drifting in the river, the horse vaguely turning toward shore. All at a distance. No sudden tight thrill, just cool death...
