This year’s Series brings some fresh young faces into the picture as only five members of the Twins ball club have ever seen action in the event. Three of those five are coaches. The three members of the Twins’ coaching staff who have seen Series action are Billy Martin, former second liaseman of the Yankees, Johnny Sain, former hurler of the Boston Braves and Yankees, and Hal Naragon, who played with the Cleveland Indians. Martin thrived on World Series competition. While he hit .'257 in major league play, he batted .333 in five World Series.

New York depended largely upon his .5(X) batting average and his 12 hits set a Series record. Sain had a lifetime 2-2 Series record. His overall earn ed run average was 2.64 for six games. Naragon caught in just one game with the Indians in ’54. Ho had no offensive figures. The two playing members of the Minnesota club who have seen World Series action are Johnny Kllppstein and Jerry Zimmerman when Doug Haulk, another soph omore halfback, surged over from the two after East took over on the KM 14 when Jay Powell fumbled.

Stondlngs Burdette Last Ace To Win Three Games Lou Burdette of the Milwaukee Braves was the last major league pitcher to win three games in a Series back in 1957 when he won the first, fourth, and seventh games against the New York Yankees. People are now wondering whether or not Koufax or Drysdale (or maybe even Jim “Mudeat” Grant) can ac complish that feat in this year’s Series. But with the heavy clouting of recent years, those three-game winners have become very rare. Burdette and Harry Brecheen of the 1946 Cardinals are the only ones since tlie end of World War II. 10 Twins Were Senators Before Switch Seven players, two coaches, and Manager Sam Mele were former Washington players repre.senting the Twins when Minnesota clinched the pennant at D. C. Stadium. Calvin Griffith, Twins’ president and the man who moved the franchise from Washington to the Twin Cities in the tall of 1960, could not be present. Gabe Murphy, stockholder of the Twins, has his eighth suit in court against Griffith for moving the club. If Grif fith enters Washington, he will be served a summons to appear in court. He has not returned since the club was moved. Mele played for the Griffiths’ pre-expansion Senators in Washington from 1949 to 1952 and coached in 1960 for Calvin. Coaches Jim Lemon and Hal Naragon both were players when the Senators moved. Pitchers Jim Kaat and Camilo Pascaul, catcher Earl Battey, shortstop Zoilo Versalles, first baseman Don Min- cher, third baseman Harmon Killebrew, and outfielder Bob Allison also played at Washington. on the KM 29.

Taking into consideration tliat both teams defeated Salem by the same score (19-01, then it^^ should prove to be a close, well #^ fought contest. ‘Tt'll be a pretty good ball- gaime, I think,” added Parker. “Kings Mountain plays rougher competition, but you know, when Bessemer and Kings Mountain get together, it’s usually a pret ty fair game.’’ Parker and assistant Coach Ronnie Kincaid have four sen iors, six juniors, and one sopho more in their starting lineup. T.he sophomore, guard-linebacker Howard Hill, has already 'seen named “Gastonia Gazette .Line man of the Week”. Hill started last season when a freshman The 170-pounder is de.scribt^ by Parker as “one of Bessemer’s top defensive men.’’ Hill, along with 200 pound tackle Don Bum- gardner and sophomore guard Kenny Burdette form a strong defensive wall. Parker reports that Bessemer has a well-balanced team on both offense and defense. His of fense is sparked by tailback Bill Wilson and fullback Chucky Steele, who lead the team in both scoring and rushing. Wilson is the number two scorer in Gas ton County. Bessemer is capable of gain- ng the necessary yardage in either the air or on the ground, .•eports Parker.

Hall has been listed in the Major League’s top ten hittOTs brackett the entire season, and if the Twins pull it out, it will be his hitting, plus the power of Harmon Killebrew (former Charlotte Hornet), Tony Oliva, Bob AI lison, and others. !■■■■■ Personally, I think (maybe a lot of you fans disagree and probably you do) that the Dodgers will be too power ful for the American Leaguers. Minnesota has some real good hitters, but those guys have not been batting against Drysdale, Koufax, and the like.
