It is apparent to the reader long before it is to Kepesh that Claire is too good to be true; and too good to be the object of the imaginative passion of a man like David for long. By novel's end, the character knows his passion for Claire is dying, and implies that this means the end of his passion for women. The anticipation seems premature; Kepesh has made the mistake of looking for the same thing women have been looking for for generations—the perfect lover to meet all needs, surpass all hopes, and understand one better than one understands oneself. It just about never happens, and the energy spent looking for it could be better spent learning to take care of oneself. Kepesh is a peculiarly passive character, watching things happen to him and almost objectively waiting to see what will happen next. If the character and his plight are not terribly moving, the novel's style offers much enjoyment. Roth is a fine stylist and knows how to edit a scene and pace his action in order to keep the story moving. The descriptive passages can be quite lyrical and they reflect the melancholy neurosis of Kepesh's mind. "I marry Helen when the weight of experience required to reach the monumental decision to give her up for good turns out to be so enormous and so moving that I cannot possibly imagine life without her.

The descriptions of David's relationship with his father reflect love without condescension and with a complete refusal to poke fun at the older man's -earlier-generation values. Roth is a rewarding experience for a serious reader who likes to mull, a little, on the ironies of trying to pull all the mind's and body's knowledge into alignment. For those who love his work, The Professor of Desire is another nice helping. For those hoping for some expansion of what Roth can tell us and show us, it's a disappointment. CAROL SOWELL Essays of E.B. White. E.B. White. 277 pages -Harper &Row. $12.50. 1977. f the word "essays" sounds dull, the name "E.B. White" gives it tang. There's nothing uninviting about this pedestrian title to the thousands of New Yorker readers and Charlotte's Web fans who know, to their delight, that E.B. White has never written a dusty sentence in his life. The non -gimmicky title is typical of White's low-key style. Never one for flamboyance, he writes clean, crisp prose, as uncluttered as the simple subjects and places he likes to write about. His essays are casual conversations from a man of gentle humor and wisdom. The 31 pieces in this collection were chosen by White from the work of over four decades, some because they "amused me in the rereading," others because the "seemed to have the odor of durability clinging to them." They are divided, not chronologically, into sections dealing with his farm in Maine, his city life in New York, reminiscenses and pointed comments on the international, political and literary scene. Two thirds of the essays appeared originally in The New Yorker, where White was a staff writer for forty years. Now permanently ensconced on his farm on the Maine coast, White divided his working life between Maine ,and New York City and filled countless New Yorker columns with comparisons of the two places— with the small town winning as easy victory over the city. But he is a far cry from the homespun philosopher he affects. Under the country mask perches a sophisticated mind that sees both worlds with humor and sympathy and grapples intelligently with today's problems. His civilized mind reduces complexity to simplicity, in a prose style that has been polished to purity. As an unabashed lover of simple life, White writes with moving detail—but never with bathos of the death of a pig, the frustration of an infertile goose, the melodrama of a hurricane that was more exciting in the radio reports than in the actual experience. He exults in wood stoves, snowstorms and in an old country house. As a city dweller, he savors to the full all the mad inconsistencies the homey neighborhoods amid the metropolitan glitter --that constitute New York. His memories of his youth include a classic paean of adoration to the Model T Ford. The section on books, mien and writing includes his famous introduction to `ythe lives and times of archy and mehitabel" by Don Marquis. In a section called "The Planet," White tackles Serious problems like energy, pollution, freedom of the press, nuclear contamination, disarmament and world peace. Sometimes his dachsund's comments n Lake more sense than the politicians'; sometimes White speaks firmly for himself, as something of a humanitarian conservationist. But whether it is Fred the dachsund or White talking, it always makes sense. If there is a fault in these essays, it is perhaps that he Protesteth too much -draws too many country Parables, overindulges in nostalgia. But the rural Stance deceives no one. White is, in training and ihtellect, an urban man who uses country life as a retreat, a place of tranquillity for refreshing his Sensibilities. He is no country bumpkin. In addition to his prolific magazine writings, White has published 19 books, including three classics for children: Stuart Little, Charlotte's Web and The Trumpet of the Swan. As an essayist, poet and storyteller, he has received numerous literary awards. essays has been on the Bestseller List since last October. ARLINE ANTHONY Daniel Martin. John Fowles. 629 pages.

Now permanently ensconced on his farm on the Maine coast, White divided his working life between Maine ,and New York City and filled countless New Yorker columns with comparisons of the two places— with the small town winning as easy victory over the city. But he is a far cry from the homespun philosopher he affects. Under the country mask perches a sophisticated mind that sees both worlds with humor and sympathy and grapples intelligently with today's problems. His civilized mind reduces complexity to simplicity, in a prose style that has been polished to purity. As an unabashed lover of simple life, White writes with moving detail—but never with bathos of the death of a pig, the frustration of an infertile goose, the melodrama of a hurricane that was more exciting in the radio reports than in the actual experience. He exults in wood stoves, snowstorms and in an old country house. As a city dweller, he savors to the full all the mad inconsistencies the homey neighborhoods amid the metropolitan glitter --that constitute New York. His memories of his youth include a classic paean of adoration to the Model T Ford. The section on books, mien and writing includes his famous introduction to `ythe lives and times of archy and mehitabel" by Don Marquis. In a section called "The Planet," White tackles Serious problems like energy, pollution, freedom of the press, nuclear contamination, disarmament and world peace. Sometimes his dachsund's comments n Lake more sense than the politicians'; sometimes White speaks firmly for himself, as something of a humanitarian conservationist. But whether it is Fred the dachsund or White talking, it always makes sense. If there is a fault in these essays, it is perhaps that he Protesteth too much -draws too many country Parables, overindulges in nostalgia. But the rural Stance deceives no one. White is, in training and ihtellect, an urban man who uses country life as a retreat, a place of tranquillity for refreshing his Sensibilities. He is no country bumpkin. In addition to his prolific magazine writings, White has published 19 books, including three classics for children: Stuart Little, Charlotte's Web and The Trumpet of the Swan. As an essayist, poet and storyteller, he has received numerous literary awards. essays has been on the Bestseller List since last October. ARLINE ANTHONY Daniel Martin. John Fowles. 629 pages.

A13LINE ANTHONY egendary for its namesake, and equally legendary for its fine food, The Baron's in southeast Tucson is one of the area's favorite places for dining by regulars and visitors. At dinner the menu leans toward familiar beef and seafood entrees, with specialties such as pepper steak, teriyaki beef kabob and baby beef liver for variety. --Prices range from $4.25 for baby beef liver to $9.25 for Australian lobster tail, with many of the beef and seafood dishes in the $6 to $8 range. Proprietor Norman Sarlat says the restaurant offers a special of the month, such as February's teriyaki of chicken breast with eggplant mediterranean for $3.95. CheJon Sakir has f hbeen with the restaurant for a seven years; the staff makes its own soups and pies. The lunch menu at the Baron's offers a more unusual selection. Hot sandwiches are served with soup, and there are also beef dishes, seafood, salads. Three types of three -egg omelettes are offered; London broil, top sirloin, and broiled ground sirloin are served as weight watcher specials. Lunch is generally in the $3 price range. Sarlat and his partner Chuck Schaieb started the restaurant about eight years ago. Schaieb is also involved in ownership of the Landmark in Sierra Vista. The Baron after whom the restaurant is named was James Reavis, an 1870s core man supreme, who forged documents claiming title to over 12 million acres of Central Arizona which he called the Peralta Grant. Documents and newspaper clippings of the Reavis story are posted throughout the handsome restaurant; a mural behind the bar shows Reavis' progress from glory to his eventual conviction for fraud. The Baron's has a large attractive cocktail lounge and dance floor. Cocktail hour is from 4:30 to 7 p.m. each day, with dancing and entertainment from 8:15 p.m. till 1 a.m. The musical group performing is John Amato and Three for the Road, from Las Vegas. Restaurant hours are 11:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. for lunch Monday through Friday and 5 to 11 p.m. for dinner Sunday through Thursday; 5 to 12 midnight on Friday and Saturday. The Baron's is at 2401 S. Wilmot; telephone is 747- 3503. autical decor is the basic theme at The Plankhouse in Tucson, but both the physical plant and the menu reflect even broader tastes. The dinner menu emphasizes steak combinations with scampi, king crab, enchiladas, stuffed mushrooms, and lobster. Rack of lamb is a favorite, and manager Russ Gillespie says both scallops mediterranean and scampi also do well. The stuffed mushrooms — 2" mushrooms filled with deviled -crab and Hollandaise sauce — are a unique and well -liked item. Dinner at the Plankhouse includes choice of soup and salad. And those who go to the salad bar have one of the biggest arrays of ingredients in the' area to choose from — beets, garbanzo beans, sliced mushrooms, bean sprouts, pickled cauliflower, cucumber and onions — for a start. Dinner prices are in the $6 to $8 range, topping out` at $11.75 for steak and lobster. The Plankhouse's lounge is a comfortable room with casual seating surrounding the stage where one of a rotating list of musicians may be playing piano or guitar. The dining area is divided into a number of rooms, and customers often have a preference of the "plant" room or the back room which is smaller and quieter. In the main dining room, one can watch the chefs at work at the grill behind the salad bar. The Plankhouse was opened in Tucson just a year ago, and another one is planned across Broadway from Park Mall. It's operated by a California firm, Far West Services, Inc., which also owns Coco's. Hours are 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Saturday for lunch; 4 to 11 p.m. for dinner Sunday through Thursday; 4 p.m. to 12 midnight Friday and Saturday. Champagne brunch is served from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sundays. The lounge offers entertainment from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. every night except Sunday. During happy hour from 4 to 7 p.m. on weekdays, hors d'oeuvres are served along with double well drinks. The restaurant can accommodate parties up to 20 and likes reservations for dinner. It'slocated at 2960 N. Campbell; phone 327-0513. CAROL SOWELL Flo Brockman's O.K. Cafe in Tombstone hat might be a world record for eating sour dough pancakes is still up for grabs at Flora ("Flo") Brockman's O.K. Cafe on Fremont and Third in Tombstone. The pancakes are an all -day Sunday specialty, although sour dough biscuits with butter, honey, or white gravy are served seven days a week. The sour dough record stands at 175 "dollar -sized" pancakes, equivalent to about 111/2 pounds as Flo estimates it. (The world pancake eating record is 61 ordinary pancakes six inches in diameter.) William Brands set the O.K. record in January, 1977, when he broke the Alaskan Silver Dollar Sour Dough Pancake Eating record of 150. Flo was told of that record by a Fairbanks, Alaska man who winters in Bisbee and who brought her the sour dough starter, the origin of which goes back 75 years. She keeps its sourish taste by not adding soda to the recipe. Another house speciality is the menus, with eight different breakfasts for 99� until about 11 a.m. After 11, the O.K. serves sandwiches, homemade luncheon platters, and ice cream concoctions recently renamed to recall Tombstone's legendary days. Try a Bawdy .House sundae, a Shaky Bill, a two -gun split, or a Schieffelin's Monument — an ice cream cone named after the burial spot of the town's founder. Although the cafe sports an ice cream parlor decor, its real decorative attraction is a wallful of cards with names of visitors from every state and 25 foreign countries. Customers have been tacking them up since December, 1976, when a Swedish man read the notice that Wyatt Earp, the Clantons, and Doc Holliday "never et here," and decided that everyone ought to know he had. Located in the Harwood House, the O.K. is really not just a tourist restaurant. The majority of customers are regulars from Tombstone and repeat businessmen from as far away as Phoenix who have packed the small cafe as early as 5 a.m. It opens at 4:30 a.m. to accommodate the saloon staffs, city employees, and retirees out on the streets that early ... or that late. With help only for 51y2 hours a day, Flo closes at 4 p.m., except Thursdays when she calls it a day at 10 a.m. SUSAN FINCKE F, Bormann alive?,* Roth still writing same story The Valhalla Exchange, Harry Patterson (Jack Higgins). 316 pages. Fawcett Books. $2.25, paperback. 1976. ack Higgins, writing under his real name, Harry Patterson, is a reliable producer of thrillers — The Eagle Has Landed, Storm Warning and others. The Valhalla Exchange is of the same satisfying genre. I stop short, however, of finding Valhalla in the same weight class with the two just mentioned. Patterson's novel, fast -paced and gripping as most of his works, deals with the recurring question of whether Nazi leader Martin Bormann did actually characters with admirable characteristics regardless of their political or military orientations; we find ourselves coming to admire some of the lower -echelon Nazi officers as individuals fully as much as we do the Allied protagonists. But another, somewhat annoying, Higgins trait emerges in the frequent confusion which surrounds his many, many characters and often overly intricate plot. We occasionally find ourselves having to re -read entire pages of the novel in order to sort out the machinations of even minor characters who pop up to play major, if temporary, roles. survive the Berlin holocaust and is in fact living in hiding today. His effort to reconstruct a fictional account of how Bormann pulled off his escape is thrilling, if not absolutely convincing, as a novel. Patterson/Higgins brings to his book a terrible authenticity, in his exploration of internal Nazi party politics, a desperate manuevering by members of the German High Command in the waning days of World War II as the Americans, French, British and Russians all scrambled toward the final Berlin "holdout" areas, hoping to capture Adolf Hitler and his last-ditch supporters. In what has become something of a Higgins trademark, the author invests certain leading :rY or'0 Gr P..,, e n Va I I , ey Am Some of the personnel in Valhalla, however, are unforgettable: the aging doctor who calls on his old skills as a former Olympic gold -medal skier in order to escape the Nazis and carry a warning; the coldblooded but indomitable young Jewish -American soldier who survives through an instinct which makes him a leader even among those who outrank him; the two professional and vengeance -driven officers—one German, one British—who kill one another during a climactic gunfight in a historic old castle. And then there is Martin Bormann, whose presence is necessary for the sometimes strained plot to make sense. And although one may occasionally lose sight of his presence during the gripping battles which occupy the latter fourth of the book, it emerges with Mark, hackles -raising impact on the final sentence of 'the novel. That concluding sentence alone makes The t Valhalla Exchange worth reading. TED TURPIN The Professor of Desire. Philip Roth. 263 wages. Farrar, Straus and Giroux. $8.95. 1977., Review copy courtesy of El Con Book Store. his newest Roth novel presents the familiar Roth hero—this time David Kepesh, a New York Jew who becomes a literature professor and thinks a lot about sex. That's the familiar pattern—the articulate, jnstrospective Jewish neurotic whose thinking is dominated by his physical concerns. It's an interesting, appealing character—at least for about half a dozen novels. Roth has been writing about the same guy for 41most two decades; the names and professions Change, but it's basically the same character. That's hot a fault in itself, except it appears that with The Professor of Desire, the author has just about run out of things to say about him. David Kepesh is the bright, only son of loving Parents who run a resort hotel in the Catskills.

The seafood combination, which is the "House Speciality," is priced at $125 pesos (about $5.75 U.S. currency) and so is the lobster plate. Shrimp salad, turtle steak, and shrimp breaded, broiled, garlic fried, or al ranchero, are priced at $80 pesos ($3.75 U.S. currency). So is T-bone steak, if anyone really cares here on the Sea of Cortez which is said to provide the best fishing on the globe. Also, on Cota's menu are abalone cocktail at 45 pesos, steamed clams at 35 pesos, octopus cocktail at 35 pesos, and seafood or cahuama (turtle) soup at 35 pesos, both of which are really something to remember.

The "big house," the former Greene residence, now a civic property, can be seen by arrangement with the chretaker on the grounds. LIVING IN STYLE Solid and square and surrounded by verandas, the big frame house with hardwood floors and golden oak interior trim, was the Colonel's home during the po-riod when he spent a great deal of time commuting in his private railroad car, the "Verde," between New York's financial district and the mines. The folks at Nogales sometimes went down to the station to watch the Verde go by and perhaps get a glimpse of Greene, the big spender, and his poker -playing cronies. { Greene also had acquired (for $1,500,000) the San. R-Afael ranch in southern Arizona which he developed into a showplace, breeding purebred Herefords and maintaining a stable of thoroughbred horses. This second home on the San Rafael had been built by Colin Cameron in 1900 and is still occupied by ...a member of Greene's family. For a change of pace — and scenery — the return to Nogales can be made by driving northeast from Cananea and entering the United States at Naco or Aqua Prieta, then turning west at Bisbee or Douglas. Another alternative is to take Arizona 92 at Bisbee Ji !action (north of Naco) and proceed west through Herford to Sierra Vista. In any case, the home stretch through rolling gi assland is a delightful change. The great expanse of rangeland between Cananea and the border formerly wets divided into only three ranches, and with nothing to divert the eye, it is easy to imagine how the country rnust have looked when Coronado and his conquistadores passed this way more than four centuries ago.

The road is paved all the way. South from Nogales the highway ambles along beside the little Aliso River through oak -studded hills and bosky glens interspersed with greening fields and orchards. Forty-two miles south at Imuris the traveler makes a sharply angled left turn onto Mexico #2 and is momentarily back in the desert among saguaros. Soon however, the road starts winding up and over the foothills to the lovely Cocospera (Co-COHS-per- a) valley dominated by two extensive ranches; the Aribabi and the old Cocospera. including one built under Father Kino's supervision in 1702. But each was either burned by the Apaches or deteriorated during a period when the place was abandoned because of Apache depredations. The present church was finally abandoned around 1845, also because of the Apaches. Seven years later an experimental colony of Frenchmen was established near the mission. Encouraged by the Mexican government, a group of about 100 French emigrants, who had been unsuccessful in establishing themselves in California, was granted lands in the Cocospera valley. Supplies were not forthcoming as promised, however, and the Apaches stole their stock. Discouraged, the leader committed suicide and within a few months the others Missions and are historical highlights in Sonora's Cananea The Cocospera ranch, about 20 miles northeast of Imuris, belongs to the Proto family and dates back to Nogales' (Arizona) beginnings when Anton Proto became the town's first mayor in 1893. GREEK FOUNDERS Anton and Luis Proto, having emigrated from their native Greece and reached Nogales in the early 1880s by way of New York and San Francisco, had set up business in an eight -by -ten adobe on Morley Avenue close to the international line where they sold flour, beans and coffee to a handful of hardy pioneers. When Anton died in 1924, the store had become one of the largest jobbing houses in town; the Cocospera ranch encompassed a quarter million acres, and Don Anton's will provided cash donations to the hospitals, schools and fire departments of both the cities of Nogales plus a notable sum to his native town of Beppora in Macedonia.

Proceeding toward Cananea the visitor starts to climb again, entering the foothills of the range separating the road from the San Pedro River valley.

I was told that I might find some of this glass around old mining shacks and dumps. I was also told that not all glass "turned," but, if it was old, I might "purple" clear glass by setting it in the sun. Only in desert regions where the sun shines almost daily and with brilliance can sun -purpled glass be found. The reason for.its turning such a lovely shade of blue- is its content of manganese. The more manganese in the glass formula the deeper the coloring. It is becoming extremely rare, and is hunted by collectors everywhere. D i During World War I the U.S.A. ran short of manganese, and the formula for making glass was changed. Consequently, glass made after 1914 lacks manganese and will not color. It cannot be created artificially, though it has been tried. There are no reproductions. rmed with this information I set forth with a knapsack, a large wooden spoon for digging, a canteen of water, and a flashlight. These are the things I would need to crawl through the ruins of 9.ld buildings in Nevada's ghost towns. I also carried a snake -bite kit in my pocket, just in case I met a diamondback rattler coming out as I was going in. One e da I came upon an old sod cellar which had been used bysome hand- •_ w rkin ranch'wife for the storage of vegetables. I crawled into the opening, p g, which was pretty much cave in, and flashed my light around. I saw a piece of an old bottle and decided I might also find a whole one. The cellar was littered with potatoes which had sprouted, then withered, and begun to rot. Ignoring the smell, I began digging, and to my great joy, unearthed a small kerosene lamp with a handle on the side. I knew this type of lamp had been used as a candle to light the way- to upstairs rooms. Of course it had no color, since it had not been exposed to the sun, but I knew by its shape it was old. Many of the old pieces have unusual shapes. They were made in molds and mold marks_ show on both sides. The lamp I found would no doubt "sun -purple" when I laid it out in the sand. kept on digging and found a similar lamp, also intact. A rare find indeed!

Until a i1y recently, Southern Arizona and Westernsrns were n synomous. y Now persons in the local film business are breaking out of that mold and selling the industry — including national advertising firms — on the theme that we have as much to offer as a modern backdrop as we do a setting of 100 years ago. The move may save an industry suffering from the decreased popularity of Westerns. The City of Tucson's new, slick brochure which pictorially makes the point is being sent to everyone imaginable within the motion picture industry. "One- stop" assistance to film makers is provided by the city's small community relations office. WE'VE GOT CITIES TOO The brochure extols the traditional aspects of fuming in Southern Arizona: experience in film production services since 1911; plenty of desert sunshine and mild climate; and within a short driving rgdius, versatile panoramas which can stand in for Canada, Big Sky country, or Oklahoma plains. The cityscape also is emphasized for its chameleon clualities — it can be a midwestern town, Chicago, or a pleasant, anywhere suburbia. "Until recently, I don't think anybody made an effort to sell it on that basis," said Jess Riggle, one-time actor and author of the brochure descriptions. Southern Arizona's "authentic backgrounds" have drawn film makers since the days of the silents when extras were picked up off the street. Later the lavish Tucson premiere of Arizona informed a national radio ai_idience where "a fighting Jean Arthur and a dashing William Holden" hung out. And the nearly two decades of success of the Old Tucson movie park, built west of Tucson on the shambles of the original Arizona set, have confirmed the area as The Duke's domain. Robert Shelton, the man who restored the old site, says "there's less Westerns now than ever in the history of the business." This "affected the Southern Arizona filming considerably," he admits. Still, the legend of Old Tucson thrives. Companies fly crews in for television productions and movies, typically filmed in part .at Old Tucson and in part farther south, and no longer restricted to Westerns.

Part of the reason for Tucson's new push _ undoubtedly stems from the efforts of the city's mayor, Lew Murphy, and its film liaison woman who has previous Hollywood publicity work. Of the 12 movies produced around the state last year, the Phoenix metropolitan area saw three of the productions; Southern Arizona, two. That's a vastly different situation from 1970 when Shelton was quoted ` as saying that five of the six movies filmed in Arizona s' were made in Tucson. MOVIES MEAN MONEY Southern Arizona — Old Tucson, Patagonia, V Arivaca, Rio Rico, et cetera — did hold its own in x` • i n productions which included Movie o t 1 vis o ee p f the Week films, in comparison with Phoenix. k Who gets what share of the market can mean considerable money coming into town for goods, : e services and employment.

At center, he was the reporter on the spot covering an announcement by Hank Greenberg; Dudley used to fly his own pl(ne (right) to spring training and games all over the country. �pQyjpp$�[Y f0000�� Y JIMMY DUDLEY: THE- VOICE OF BASEBALL By CAROL SOW LL itchers and homerun artists get traded among teams like so many baseball cards in this money - oriented age of the superstar. But there's one man, at least, in Southern Arizona who's been hanging around Hi Corbett Field in Tucson for over 30 years, watching them all come and go. While the players have come and gone, the voice of Jimmy Dudley has called their games, interviewed them, commented on them; and become better known than a lot of them to baseball fans in many parts of the country. Dudley's pro baseball announcing career started in 1948 when he copped one of 16 coveted major league announcing jobs in the country. His break came when the head of Standard Brewing Co. heard him on Cleveland radio announcing sandlot baseball games and ice hockey, and said, "That's the guy I want for the Cleveland Indians." Soon started a regular commuting to Tucson while the Indians were in spring training, along with travel all over the country for exhibition games, and rubbing shoulders with many of the- greats of sports, show business and broadcasting. A VARIED CAREER In 1971, Dudley and his wife Angie settled in Tucson permanently, moving into the home they'd purchased in 1963 as an investment and for a springtime residence. Since that time, the unretired and unretiring Dudley has been involved with the Rio Rico Resort as a public relations man; announced the games of the Tucson Toros; played a lot of golf; continued to fly back to Cleveland to do TV commercials; and, at present, is working for Engel Marketing in Tucson as public relations director. Dudley also has announced for Notre Dame and Ohio State football; Detroit Lions and Baltimore Colts football. But it's with the Indians in baseball that he's best known. In the days of live radio and television, there were numerous harrowing experiences with what people. would say in interviews. Dudley tells the story of an interview- with Jimmy Dikes, then manager of the Philadelphia As, on a post -game show where guests were always given electric shavers. "After the interview I said, `Jimmy, I want to thank you for being my guest today, and I want to present you with this beautiful Schick electric razor.' And he came back so quickly with his thank you that they didn't have time to cut him off, and he thanked me for the razor and he says, `I'm glad it wasn't a straight razor. I'd cut my throat watching some of these turkeys play baseball.' " Sometimes the gaffes were Dudley's. He once said on the air, "Coming into the first half of the game and leading off Boston is Detroit." Dudley was often joined in the broadcast booth by show business personalities who were great baseball fans. Bob Hope was a frequent visitor — and once part owner of the Indians. "Jonathan Winters comes from Ohio," Dudley reminisced. "He would never broadcast but he loved to just sit there and listen. "Bing Crosby — you give him the mike and he'd do as good as job as you would. He was a great ad-libber: He was so much fun." One of the most enthusiastic baseball fans that Dudley ran into over the years was former radio actress Angelyn Orr Neblett. The two met in Chicago when with Chicago was the locus for most national radio; among others working in Chicago radio in those days was Jim Ameche, now a fellow Tucsonan. GOOD OLD DAYS: Bob Hope was part owner of the Indians in 1954 when this picture of him and Dudley was taken; the Indians won the league pennant that year but lost the series to the Giants. At right, Dudley's wife Angie has been the keeper of the scrapbook on her husband's career. (Photos by Chris Kemberlinq) ' Jimmy and Angie were married in 1950 and honeymooned in Acapulco before going to their first spring training in Tucson together. FAMILY INVOLVEMENT Angie hasn't worked much since their marriage, except for a year when the family did a -breakfast show. "Breakfast with the Dudleys" was broadcast live from their home with their son Doug and their boxer Slugger. THE HAT: Dudley still has a collection of hats that were provided to him by sponsors and others over the years. Dudley explained, "She wrote the script, but most of it was ad lib with Doug and I showing off. The kids in the neighborhood got to the point where they went to school when Angie would say, `O.K., Doug, it's time to get going.' " The boxer became such a personality that the Dudleys received fan letters addressed to Slugger Dudley in their Cleveland suburb.. Doug Dudley was news anchorman on Tucson's KGUN-TV a few years ago (his father modestly estimates him as the best the city's ever had). He's now in California studying for the ministry. Dudley said he sees his job as a radio sportscaster to "present the picture as you see it down on the field. You're painting a picture, and let the fans make up their mind whether they like it or not ... "You're talking to a lot of people who have never seen a ball game. So actually what you're doing is describing something that is happening to them. I tried to be as factual as possible, though you root for your home team." Sportscasters today talk too much, Dudley said; he feels the announcer should talk a lot less on television than on radio, and let pictures help tell the story. Dudley named Vince Scully as his favorite announcer, and noted, "It's amazing the number of minor league announcers around the country that sound like Vince Scully because they practice it." Though Dudley finds a lot of good young announcers coming up; he apparently thinks they're missing some of the fun of the good old days. The season runs too long, he says, both in baseball and football. MEMORIES OF GOOD TIMES When he traveled with the Indians, he flew his own plane a lot of the time, or he rode with the team by train. "There's nothing greater than travelling with a bunch of guys that you like to know, and having the time on the train in the dining room or parlor cars for sitting and talking. Nowadays they travel so fast you don't have time to do any of that," he recalled. "In those days we played some day games and we used to go to New York and we'd play a day game and then you've got the evening to go to the theater and you'd eat in great restaurants. But now it's all night baseball, and by the time a ball game is over, it's two o'clock and the whole town's closed up. "I used to play golf in every American League city. In those days we usually had a ten-day trip, two weeks sometimes, and you were always glad to get home. You had two weeks at home. Nowadays they come in,, they play four days, then gone for four, back and forth. And it's a rat race today." In Dudley's day, he was known by a number of trademarks. Famous "Dudleyisms" included: "The string is out" (when the batter had three balls and two strikes); "stay -alive fouls"; "Come on down to the old ball orchard," and most famous: "So long and lots of good luck, ya heah?" For the live fans or the TV fans, Dudley was always the guy in the hat. Sponsors bought him hundreds of hats over the years, and he lost many to souvenir hunters or celebrating ballplayers. The hat was a shield for his head, bald ever since he and a college chum shaved their heads one summer while serving as lifeguards, and Dudley's hair didn't grow back. Dudley still loves the game and watches the Indians at spring training here often. He hopes to announce the Toros again this spring. He was witness to one of thq live wires of Hi Corbett Field—Bill Veeck, owner of the Indians when Dudley first became affiliated with the club (now owner of the Chicago White Sox). "Bill Veeck was a genius. He was one of the greatest promoters in baseball. Bill Veeck took the Indians from last place in 1946 to world champions in 1948," Dudley said. STILL THINKING BASEBALL Dudley remembers when the Indians played exhibition games in Nogales. "I'd like to see a team of Mexican all-stars vs. the Indians in an exhibition game," he mused. Dudley was instrumental in setting up the bright new press box at Hi Corbett two years ago; he asked for a window that could be opened so he could hear the crowd when he worked. Though he loves the game, Dudley admits he hasn't been very good a picking winners. Last fall, he predicted the Yankees and the Phils would play the world series and the Phils would win it. (The Yankees beat the Los Angeles Dodgers.) Perhaps his prediction that Frank Robinson may become manager of the California Angels will prove more fortunate. Dudley's first experience in non -sports public relations was working for both GAC Properties in Rio Rico and Leisure World in Mesa. He did TV commercials and other P.R. functions. It was a nought time to be with GAC. "They were having a lot of problems then, not so much in Arizona, but they were having national problems." GAC eventually declared bankruptcy on the Rio Rico property. But Dudley still praises the place's potential. "The Rio Rico Inn, I think, is a gorgeous place. That's a great golf course; they had some of the finest horses I've ever seen in my life, great equipment. They just overextended themselves; it was through poor managing, I think, more than anything else." The Indians are back in town for a spring training and games all this month. April will see the Toros return to Tucson, and maybe Jimmy Dudley to the Hi Corbett press box too. From that vantage point he can reminisce — remember Ted Williams hitting a homer past the trees behind the fence — and, look back and forward to what he readily describes as "a great life."
