NEW YORK. - Alexandra
DanilOva, who once was a
prominent ballerina in Russia,
sat behind me at the premiere
of Bolshoi's Swan Lake" at
the Met. She whispered COM
ments - as if Jack Dempsey
were giving a running descrip-
ton Of the Liston Patterson
fight.
Danilova's applause was un-
restrained. but she referred icily
to some BolShoi dancers as
they" and to others warmly
as I'VE" BY I'VE" she meant
the dancers trained, as she was,
in Leningrad. They" includ-
ing the star, Maya PIisetskaya,
were those trained in Moscow.
In Leningrad," she said,
we're taught to work precisely,
in a frame. In Moscow" she
shrugged. they work free"
In Leningrad, said Danilova
proudly. I'VE start on the right
foot. In Moscow they start on
the left foot" She searched
for another way Of describing
the difference: "In Leningrad
we dance to the count Of /, 2,
8; in Moscow they dance to
8, 2, L."

VIM LOSE OR DRAW

ON THIS DATE A YEAR AGO Roger
Maris stroked so home runs, with II more
to come, and the ballyard bluffs were in
proper tizzy as to whether Rog would break
Babe Ruth's record, asterisk or no.
Temporarily, at least, that phase has
passed. Nobody is going to break the Babes
154-game mark nor Maris' 162-game record
this season. If anybody does he ought to
be exposed to a saliva test. Instead, it's
a nice change of pace to behold Maurice
Morning Wills of the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Maury Wills is the local boy from Car
dozo High who made good, mainly with his
feet and rifle arm. Maury publicly has set
his sights on setting modern (since 1900
National League record for stolen bases.
He needs only IS more In IS games to top
Bob Bescher's mark Of 30, set in 1911. You
have to like Maury's chances.
Some puristS contend the art of base
stealing packs as much drama as the pres
ent-day home run and calls for q skill at
least equal to the long ball hitters. 1t may
be a harder and longer way of winning
ball games but it's exciting.
EVERYBODY IN ALL MI BALL PARKS,
including the enemy pitchers and catchers,
knows now that when Maury reaches first
base his flaps are up and he's ready to take
off. No longer does Wills need q sign from
Manager Walter Aston. The hit-and-run
with Maury on first base is rarity, the
sacrifice hunt superfluous.
With So theftS so far in rs efforts, who
needs help from hit-and-run play2 Maury
might ask. In the recent four-game series
with Cincinnati the young man swiped six
bases In six attempts, and this was crucial
set in which the Red batterymen were
doubly alert to the threat posed by the
winged footed Dodger shortstop.
No longer is Luis Aparicio synonymous
with the virtually automatic stolen base;
Wills is. The White Soxer isn't even lead
ing the American League, although he holds
the AL record for most consecutive years
co. leading In steals Luis either has lost a
little speed or some of his incentive, pos
sibly both.
The greatest base-stealer in National
League history was Max Carey, who was
No. for 10 seasons Cobb in the AL only
led six times) Carey'S 1888, lifetime, won
him Hall Of Fame plaque, yet Max never
stole more than So, which happened back
in 1916. rs $50
APPARENTLY WILLS CAN MOVE up a
base almost at will. Two years ago, when
he first became an April to- October regu-
lar, Maury took 1t into his head to be the
first National Lacquer since Carey in 1928
to reach the half hundred mark. He hit 1t
on the nose by swiping 80 bases in his last
Sc games.
The legendary figure he must beat to
establish the MI high for one. season,
Bescher, dated back to old Clark Griffith's
