<p> AILING. Walter ("Red") Barber, 84, pioneering baseball
broadcaster and radio personality; from an intestinal blockage,
in Tallahassee, Florida. Barber, who called play-by-play for the
Brooklyn Dodgers from 1939 to '53 and the Yankees from 1953 to
'66, was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1978. He
popularized the phrase "in the catbird seat," to describe a team
sitting on a big lead.
