"Doublas can't afford to fail. So I think he will bury Smith deeper than ever . . . and we will never see the true Man from Mars."Page 41
"Kill him?" Jill said slowly. "Oh, dear! Ben, what are we going to do?"
Caxton scowled "They own the bat and the ball and are making the rules."
I guess Ben Caxton really likes metaphors. Here he expresses his discontent with how Smith is being treated. When a public broadcast is made, featuring him, Jill says she is sure that an actor has been payed to apear in his place. Ben is disgruntled because there is no way for him to know for sure. His baseball metaphor explains how much control is held over Smith to the point where no one can visit him or speak to him.
