Killebrew CAN Beat Ruth's Record
SliiL'Kcr IlarmoM Killobrow of the Minnesota Twins is,
without a doubt, the most dangerous home run hitter in
the Major Leagues today, and stands the best chance of
any big l(';'giie l)aseball player of breaking Babe Ruth’s
all-tinir liome run rei'oi'd of 7I t.
Killeltrew is beginning his seventh year as an active
major leaguer and has already liit 272 home runs, an aver
age of 'l.a.;’, homers a season and is still a young man at the
age of 2S.
lie ranks in the top 12 active home run hitters and is
rapidly climbing toward the top. Mickey Mantle, who leads
all regulars going into the 1965 season with 454, is less
than 200 homers ahead of the “Killer” and is beginning
his l‘llh season.
Killer Seeks 4+h HR Crown In A Row
Killebrew goes into the ’65 season seeking his fourth
American League home run crown in a row. He led the
AL last season with 49 homers, the fourth consecutive
year in wliieh the slugger surpassed the 40 mark.
He holds seven Twins’ records.
He set a mark of 126 runs batted in during 1962 and
was the club’s highest slugger in 1961 with a percentage
of .606. He set tlie mark of 107 bases on balls in 1961 and
142 strikeouts in 1962.
He also holds the Twins’ record of 49 homers in a sea
son 11964), 29 homei's at home (1961) and 28 on the road
(1962).
Killebrew loses the ball once in every 12.6 times at
bat. Only Ruth lias a better mark as lie hit a homer once
in every 11.8 times at bat.
Last season, Killebrew hit a home run in every Ameri
can League ball jiark with the e.xception of that of the
Chic.ago White Sox, however, he hit six against White Sox
pitching in the Twins’ Metropolitan Stadium.

Automatic Pin Setters
At KM Bowling Center
Mountain Lanes Bowling Man-
iger “Cat" Houser announced
his week that automatic pin set-
ers are now being installed at
.he local bo!X'ling alley, and the
I establishment will now offer on-
i ly duckpin howling.
Installations began this past
Monday and the bowling center
! will lie opem for business either
Friday or Saturday of this week.
Bimling fees will be raised to
I forty cents per game but Mr.
Houser says that a bowler will
, get from 10 to 12 pins per game
better pin fall as a result of
' good action hy the pin setters.
; Mr. Houser also announced
! that the bowling center is to be
i completely rem^eled, that is,
j painted, roof and alley repairs.
Upon announcement of the
j newly occurred changes, manag
er Houser also announced that a
! Scotch Doubles tournament will
! be held next Friday, Saturday,
I and Sunday. April 23, 24, and K.
"Scotch Doubibs” means that
' two bowlers enter the touma-
i ment but their handicap and av-
erage cannot exceed 240. One
bowler rolls the first ball and
I his partner rolls tlie nbxt. Cash
I prizes will be awarded to the top
I iKiwlers for the three days.
Also a type of “turkey trot”
I tournament is to be held imme-
1 diatbly after opening. In which
a bowler receives three spotted
I strikes on his score sheet.
But, if the bowler knocks down
seven or more pins with his first
ball, the pins are set up and the
, player gets credit f.ir a strike,
i Prizes also will be awarded in
’ this tournament and an added
I prize of $15 will be given to a
I player who rolls a perfect game.
I And, it can be done. Randy
Blanton of the Griffin Drug
men's team collected money for
a perfect game last season.
An odd pin match is being held
every Thursday night through
the mrnith of April. If a bowler
knocks down an odd number of
pins with his three tries per
frame he gets the number, but
his total is even, he gets nothing.
Also, at any time during the
frame, thb bowler can have the
pins set up. Example: If a bowl
er floors nine pins with the first
ball, he can have the pins set up
and take a nine count.
Mr. Houser also announced
plans for a league for school
kids for this summbr and possi
bly this fall and winter. Prices
for bowling in this league will be
reduced and those interested in
participating can sign up at the
] bctwHng center.
Mr. Houser reports thb reason
for changing strictly to duckpin
bowTing is due to the fact that
the tyi^ of bowling Is becoming
more and more popular and that
