Dresser Offers to Bet

Dresser didn't predict q Mil

sisted his club will win more
games than it did last year
when it finished second to
Pittsburgh by seven games.
1--WE didn't win the pennant,
but we won SO games. and
that's two more than Fred
Haney's club won in 1885,"
Dresser said. That's pretty
good considering that Hank
Aaron, Ed Mathews, Don Nc
Mahon, Wes Covington and
Johnny Logan fell off some,
and that we didn't have q Sec
ond baseman who could play
every day.
Nov I think we got the best
infield in the league. I know
that Frank Boiling, the second
baseman we got from Detroit,
can do the job both In the field
and at the plate. / think he's
got more power than Bill Bru-
ton. whom we gave up for him,
and he won't strike out much,
And I'll bet Roy Mcmillan, our
