Marty Keough is stroking out
base hits at an impressive pace
and the Senators have their
fingers crossed.
A noted streak hitter of
other seasons, the former Red
Sox bonus rookie has been on
a month-long hitting binge
that has Manager Mickey
Vernon and others wondering
if ne finally is going to deliver
on the great promise once held

Maybe this streak he's on will
give him some confidence. I've

A glimpse at the recent fig
ureS he's compiled should give
Marty the confidence of a
fighter before the bell.
In the past month, since he
mas been getting in on a more
or less regular basis, he has
clobbered the ball at a .371 clip
with 26 hits in 10 at-bats, in

now he is a .277 hitter and

If Keough can materialize
into a topflight performer, he'll
be the best bargain the Sena-

he has several years of base

The Detroit Tigers, who re-
gained the American League
lead the last time they played
New York, carry a one-game
edge over the second-place
Yankees into their July 4 dou-
ble-header at Yankee Stadium.
A sweep or a split would
leave the Tigers in first place
come nightfall on Independ-
ence Day for the first time
since 1850. However, the
Yankees went on to take the
pennant that year, one of only
10 seasons in the past so that
the July 4 leader failed to take
the AL. flag.
That also was the only time
Detroit missed mailing a cham
pionShip after leading on the
mid-season holiday. The Tigers
also were on top on July 4,
1945, the last year Detroit won
the pennant.
Top Pitchers Working
Only the Tigers, among the
other nine AL. clubs, have an
edge (5-4 this season over the
Yankees, who have won three
in a row and six of eight. New
York will send southpaw ace
Whitley Ford (14-2), the Ma
jors' top winner this year. and
Highlander Bob Turley (3-5)
against the Tigers Frank
Larry (11-4. a righthanded
Yankee killer, and southpaw
Don MoSsi Old.
The Yankees, incidentally,
haven't blown a pennant after
claiming first place on July 4
since 1885. The club that beat
the Yankees and tradition that
GIIIlG was O6LrOlC.
Both Detroit and New York
were idle yesterday in a night
game schedule that saw Balti-
more clip third-place Cleve-
land, SO, and Washington beat
Boston, 6-3. The Chicago
White Sox lost, 7-6, at Minne-
sofa and the Los Angeles An
gels defeated Kansas City, So.
Righthander Milt Pappas, his
arm trouble apparently a thing
of the past, won his fourth in a
row, walked two and struck out
eight while blanking the In
dianS on four hits for a So rec
ord. Catcher Gus Triandos

loser Jim Perry (7-6). Marv

the fifth defeat in six games

WIN, LOSE OR DRAW
Never Such q Start in Our Town
BY FRANCIS STANN

THERE IS A NEW RESPECT in the
American League for the Twins who won't
even enjoy the idolatry of their new fans in
the Upper Midwest until their curtain-raiser
tomorrow. Not that they were total un-
respected last year as the old Senators.
For one month-August 81 to September
p 21-they were in fourth place. The Soon-to-
be Twins had their best on-and-l lost record
since 1858 and they earned it despite the
fact that Harmon Killebrew wasn't of>much
value until July and Camilo Pascual never
recovered from shoulder injury suffered
on May 27.
Now Killebrew is out of action again
but there have been compensating factors
including inclement weather and the pres
ence OF young Don Mincher Three of the
Twins chow they reached for that nameD
wins belong to Pedro Ramos and Pascual
and, because Of poStponements, both are
fresh and ready to go. Ramos has a rubber
arm, anyway, and about the only question
concerning the two Cubans is whether they
will like the climate OF Minnesota In the
spring
Where they come from It's hot. Right
now hotter than we'll, ever.
H&S
KILLEBREW'S INJURY in the second
game Of the campaign focuses attention on
Mincher, who came to the old Senators last
spring from the White Sox as part payment
for Roy Sievers. The 22-year- first base
man, after hitting a home run in the
opener at Griffith Stadium was shipped
after 27 games to Charleston, where he
batted .306.
Losing long-ball hitter like Killebrow
who additionally doesn't play bad first
base, isn't good. There is no indication,
however, that Manager Cookie Lavagetto is
developing one of his noted cases Of hives
over Harmon'S absence. In fact Lavagetto
was talking Of Mincher one day last month
in Florida and bemoaning the fates.
TITS a shame that kid can only play
first base," Cookie said Hes been hitting
great all spring and think he's ready to
do good job in the majors. But Killebrew
is happier than he's ever been now, playing
first base, and can't move him"
Mincher, If he hits, can help keep the
enemy pitching honest All of the estab-
lished long hitters in the Twins batting
order are thanded-KillebreW Bob ALI
son, Jim Lemon and Earl Battey. The kid is
lefthanded. Indeed when Mincher isn't
playing, the only lefthanded swinger on the
club at all is Lenny Green.
The Senators er, Twins, are lucky
to have young Mincher.

ONE MORE THING to hold against Cal
Griffith e.. none Of his clubs ever started
so fast when representing our town. Nor
one Of Clark Griffith'S, for that matter,
although the research on this subject was
haSty. But it's safe to say that none of old
Griff's good teams broke out of the gate
with a 5-1 record like the Minnesota Twins
The Old Man had four favoriteS during
his A years in Washington. In order, they
were the 1924, 1912, 1925 and 1888 clubs
That's how he rated them in his heart, If
not in his mind, before his death in 1855.
The "a team was his first pennant and
only World Series winner This is the club,
led by 27-year-old Bucky Harris, that made
him some money The 1912 edition only
finished second but it was Griffs first year
in the Capital
He was not the owner, only the man
ager, but under his leadership the Senators
jumped from seventh in 1911 to second
place. MY little club" Griff fondly called
them. The '25 and '33 teams won pennants
but lost in the World Series. And Of the
four outfits, only the '25 team got off to a
flying start.
STILL it wasn't as good beginning as
the Twins.
THE OLD FOXS 1912ers were pretty
bad for quite spell. In fact, they were In
the cellar when they moved into Boston
on Decoration Day. Then the Senators won
a double-header that was to touch off a
17-game winning streak, most sensational
in American League history to that time.
In 1924 the Senators were in sixth place
at the end Of April. By the middle of '.ry
they were seventh. There was no mixing
this was to become Washington's team Of
destiny.
The other Senator team headed up by a
hoy wonder"-Joe Cronins 1898 clan
started by losing five of the first eight. The
Yankees opened by winning seven in a row,
but they apparently made one mistake. In
Slaughtering Washington, 1870, they played
too rough.
On April rs Ben Chapman almost un-
dressed Buddy Myer with his spikes as he
rode into second base. 1t led to the famous
free-for-al. That day may have belonged
to the Yankees on the scoreboard but the
next day was when the Senators launched
their drive to the pennant.
Only in '25 did flag winning Washing
ton team open like one. On April % the
Senators grabbed the lead, shook off chal-
lenges by the Indians and Athletics, and
went all the way. But still 1t was no 5-1
beginning.
