King
of the Reliefers
If Brooklyn wins the National League pennant and it
lookp like nothing short of a train wreck, a bad train wreck,
can jstop her Manager Charlie Dressen will have to give a
loud vote of thanks to bespectacled' Clyde King, a Goldsboro
boy who got his diamond degree from the venerable Bunn
Hearn at good ol' UNC.
. Dressen, otherwise known as Conversational Charlie, has
never been one to give his players too much credit for games
won, but even, the self-loving Brooklyn boss, will have to
switch the subject from himself to King for a few well-chosen
phrases when they start printing World Series tickets up
Ebbetts Field Way.
King, at last count, had a record of 12 wins and five losses
for the year. The last two victories were picked up from
second-place New York, long-time arch rival of the Bums,
in consecutive games. They were important games, too, de
spite the fact that Brooklyn led the Giants by nine and a half
lengths going into the three-game series. Had the New York
ers swept the series, it would have been quite a shock to the
Dodgers and would have given the Durochermen the extra
charge they need to go all out in an effort to overhaul the
near-unbeatable Dodgers.
A Page From Page's Book
King is Brooklyn's version of Joe Page and Jim Kon
stahty at their peak., The pre-thirtish reliefer has won 12 games
but he's saved probably eight to 10 others for the likes of
Preacher Roe, Don Newcome, Carl Erskine and Ralph Bran
ca. He's a funny looking guy out there on the mound but the
hitters usually refrain from going into guffaws when King,
comes on in the midst of an enemy uprising.
King has a theory all his own when it comes to pitching.
"Never throw a pitch the same way twice," he says. "Keep
the batter guessing and you'll have the edge on him every
time." Clyde uses his mixed deliveries for a double purpose.
He keeps the batter guessing and also gives base runners a
fit. He is generally regarded as the finest pick-off artist in
the major leagues today and has been teaching young Dodger
hurlers the fine art of erasing eager base runners for the
past several Springs at the Brooklyn training camp at Vero
Beach, Fla.
When a runner steals a base with King in the box he
steals it on the catcher. And when a runner steals a base on
rifle-armed Roy Campanella he's done a full day's work.
Right now King rates with ancient Dutch Leonard of the
Chicago Cubs as the finest reliefer in the National League
and only a couple of guys say Joe Ostrowski of the Yanks
and Satchel Paige of the Browns in the American League
can give him a run for the money.
And if you ask King today who he credits most with
sending him to the big time, chances are he'll flash his favorite
smile and say, "Coach Bunn."
