WHEN THE DODGERS MOVED to Los
Angeles in 1858 and were forced to play in
the freakish Coliseum, he, along with others
on the club, beat his breast in anguish
because of the leftfield fence, only ISL feet
from the plate. More than the other
gripers, Don was branded a cry-baby.
Il can't win here" Drysdale moaned
I wish they'd trade me. Philadelphia"
ne repeated. yeah, I'd even go to the
Phillies, gladly"
He didn't win in the Coliseum, not as
big as he figured to. anyway. In the
Dodgers last year in Brooklyn he was l7-9
at the age Of 81. In the four years In the
Coliseum he was only 1918, Ills. 15-14
ana 1910 with teams that won world
championship and finished second
Those were four lost years." Don now
says. IF you think I'm the only griper,
ask some of the other guys. Ask Gil Hodges,
for instance"
In view Of his 20 victories in the new
Chavez Ravine by August 8, some credence
must be accorded his argument, although
the Coliseum fence was no shorter nor more
nettlesome for Drysdale than for any other
National League pitcher.

NATURALLY DRYsDALE RETRACTED
his wish to be traded, although it hardly
was an admirable retraction. Peevishly
he criticized the sports writer's for quoting
him when he was hot and embittered
They should have waited for me to cool
off and asked me about 1t again." he said
1rritably, evidently under the impression
that newspaper is put together with
deadline as leisurely as that of The Readers
Digest.
The new, 1862 model Drysdale is max
ing history's first Los Angeles-New York
World Series more and more probable. As
potent as the San Francisco Giants appear,
the Dodgers look more potent. Too many
of the LA crew are having good years at
the same time to brook adversely, meaning
Tommy and Willie Davis, Frank Howard,
Maury Wills and Ron Fairly, notably.
Until Sandy Koufax hurt himself he
was maintaining pace d4-5) almost as
torrid as Drysdales. But even with Koufax
Sidelined the Dodgers aren't exactly hurting
for pitching, although there is big drop
off after Drysdale and Koufax in won-and-
lost records because Johnny Podres and
Stan Williams are not much above 500.
So Don Is left as the glue man of the
Dodgers pitching staff, the Big Guy at
long last.

1862 Model DrysdoIe
Achieves His Potential

s. 30 BELINSKY IS the flamboyant soul
with a pool stick in one hand, a movie
starlet on his arm and a big red converti-
BILE parked by the curb. He is, or was the
most publicized pitcher of 1862, and this
was miscarriage Of justice.
He pitched the seasons first no-hitter
on behalf of the Los Angeles Angels and
somehow the public lost track for a while
OF such an authentic artist as Early Wynn,
who is nearing the magic 800 mark $3.50
more victories than Belinsky's career totaD
and Of Don Drysdale. The uninhibited 30
isn't even the best pitcher on the Angels
and Is far from the best in Los Angeles
because Drysdale is.
With nearly third Of the season re-
manning, Drysdale has won 20 and stands
good chance Of becoming the first 80
game winner since Dizzy Dean in 1884.
There is reason to believe that at age %
the big Dodger highlander finally has
grown up. "And it's about time" proclaim
his one-time critics who were losing pa
thence with the erstwhile hot-tempered,
petulant sidearmer whom they felt was
squandering his potential with childish
tantrumS
Ever since he came up to the Dodgers
in 1856, when they were operating out of
Brooklyn, this has been a spoiled young
man, extremely well paid for pitcher with
six-year record Of 1884. Even Buzzy
Bavasi, who pampered Drysdale, chided his
nominal ace by presenting him with
plaque following one of Don's eutbursts. It
read:
ITO be seen, stand up. To be heard,
speak up. To be appreciated, shut up"
THIS WAS TO BE DRYSDALE'S year
to put up or shut up, according to his
critics. Up to now Don has put up. He
has curbed his temper, at least in public,
and has discovered for himself how much
easier it is to win when the ball is thrown
over the plate.
Drysdale used to be one of the most
boring pitchers in the business, when he
should have been one of the most exciting
because of his blazing fast ball thrown
sidearm. He was a 3-and-2 pitcher, con-
stantly running to full counts and becom-
ing involved in three-hour games. But
when he beat the Cubs last Friday for his
goth victory-his 10th in row-he ran his
string Of walkless innings to 46b. This is
more than five games without base on
balls, it says on our giant electric computer.
Actually, there have been wilder
pitchers than Drysdale, but Don has earned
dubious reputation as a hunter.
Several times during his career to date he
has been involved in rhubarbs stemming
from charges that he deliberately has
thrown at hitters.
Once Umpire Stan Landes warned
him after Don struck Joe Cunningham Of
the Cardinals with an inside pitch. Drys-

workmen were building new homes
where we lived in Topeka we col
lected something in the neighbor-

memory of this really plagued me
all the rest of the day since Leslie

was my main reason for going
home and to be with my family as
well. We had a nice day and met

we headed back to Alexandria. We

fore it hit a pertinent spot and
there we were on the busiest artery
in Washington in the midst of
"quittin' time" traffic. / know how
to change a tire and would really
like to try my skill, but didn't get
the opportunity this time either.
Some nice colored man in a taxi
