Dismal End for Race Dogs, Alabama Authorities Say

RHODES RECALLS GLORY
It was around 11 oclock on a recent morning, and in Gingers Tavern, beside the docks on Staten Island, a baldish man with a widecreased face sat on a bar stool stirring his pick-me-up. Alongside him were a few of his fellow tugboat men. Oh, Im still in touch with some of the old boys, he was saying. Hey, a week or so ago I called Art Fowler when Oakland was in town to play the Yankees. Fowler is the As pitching coach. I said, Art, buddy, how you doin? He said, Who is this? I said, Dusty. He said, Dusty who? I said, Is there any other? Then he just about shouted, Rhodes! Dusty Rhodes threw back his head and laughed hoarsely. In fact, there has never been another like Dusty Rhodes, particularly in World Series history. No batter has ever quite dominated a Series the way Rhodes did in 1954. His key pinch hits in the first three games galvanized the New York Giants four-game sweep over the favored Cleveland Indians.
