club, Mele says. What hap
pened earlier this season, he
advises, was one of those
things caused by unexpectedly
bad pitching. injuries and the
shockingly weak hitting Of Jim
Lemon.
It was not Lavagetto's fault,
Mele is quick to point out.
1T just talked to Cookie when
we were out in California" he
said. Hes had some tough
luck. His wife had broken an
ankle awhile back. Well, she
just broke it again.
Cookie is quite busy cleaning
the house, cooking meals and
shopping. He told me he has
had a couple of scouting offers,
but he isn't interested. Don't
be surprised If he and Chuck
Dresser wind up somewhere
together"

That's the way it is with
being a baseball manager. Mele
pointed out. "Our guys have
been very good" he said "but
I have my rules. Curfew is
1890 at night unless 1t is a
night game and then it is two
hours after the game.
"When they break the rules,
It shows up in the way they
play. Look at 1t this way: If
they all fall down, who gets his
head chopped off? Me, that's
who"

mot exactly" Mele said. "At
least, when you get your foot
in the door, you're in, and you
can always land on your feet.
Cookie will. Once you get
established, you can usually get
a job"
Mele hopes he will be around
this area for a few seasons to
come, because the Twins, he
says, are not too far from be-
coming real contenders.
"a lot of things happened
this year to this club" he said.
But it's coming along. The
