VIM LOSE OR DRAW
Forty-Six Homers and q Peak to Reach
BY FRANCIS STANN

ORLANDO, FLA, MAR. 2O.-Bucky
Harris was managing the old Washington
Senators-now the Minnesota Twins-when
Harmon Killebrew first donned a major
league uniform in 1854. Harmon was only
18 years DID, but from-i1is box seat in Grif-
filth Stadium the late Senator Herman
Welker of Idaho fumed because Harris re-
fused to play his protege and under r-age
constituent
Whats the matter with that man?"
Senator Welker demanded Of the late Clark
Griffith and Vice President Calvin Grif-
fifth. Does Harris think his club is so good
that he can't afford to. gamble? Gamble?
Killebrew is ready now!"
If memory serves, Old Man Griffith
automatically reassured the politician
that Killebrew's day was coming. However,
Calvin shared some Of the Senator's i'm
patience. He was readying the ak for
Bucky, anyway, and already plotting the
hiring Of Chuck Dresser as the new man
ager.
Harris was unperturbed. He watched
Killebrew in batting practice and as a
pinch-hitter. He worked Harmon at several
positions before games. As the first bonus
baby in the history of the Washington club
Harmon seemed to be getting great deal
OF attention, but not from Bucky.
Hell probably make the grade" Harris
predicted, adding, "but not before four or
five years. can't play him now. Don't we
look bad enough with our professionals in
the lineup?"
FIVE YEARS DID, indeed, pass before
Killebrew returned to the majors to stay.
In 1859 the Idaho strongboy hit AZ homers
to tie the all-time Washington record. The
next season he slammed 81, and last year
he went to town. Forty-six homerS and 122
runs batted in for the Twins established
Harmon as one of the authentic clouters.
HE hasn't even reached his peak"
Manager Sam Mele was saying "Give Har-
mon a couple more years to correct few
faults-they're getting fewer and fewer
and he'll hit more than so homers
"The Minnesota park is good one for
Killebnew," Mele added "He can hit home
runs to left-center and right-center, al
though when Harmon really blasts pitch
1t doesn't make much difference where the
fences are. He hit ball last year that was
measured at 462 feet and it still was Is feet
above the ground when it struck the green
eye-backdrop behind the centerfield fence"
Harmon himself remains the same
quiet, courteous young man at Is that he
was at Is. OF his home-run output, he says,
1T was good for me, but when you stack it
up against what Maris and Mantle did it
doesn't look so impressive"

I'VE know how good they can
be-" Orsborn says. "They beat

st. Johns. which hasn't been

premacy of the New York

II nights ago, has the prob
lem Of spiking a potential
double le-barreled weapon in its
game with Holy Cross. Jack
Foley, as usual, showed his pat
ented scoring bursts with 81
points against Colorado State
But the Crusaders had a sur
prise gunner in Bob Foley, no
relation to Jack. Bob went 13
points above his average with
81 points and also was a bruiser
under the boards.
Holy CroSS's main project
will be containing Leroy Ellis,
a Clio pivot with fluid moves
and sprinter's speed.

PITCHING-Once upon a
time the Chicago White Sox
rode the crest because of
pitching, defense and speed.
They still have the speed but
the mound staff is aging and
suspect. Juan Pizzaro, who
never had won more than
six games in a big league sea-
son, is the new nominal ace
off his 14-7 record, although
he didn't become q ctarter
until June. Early Wynn (8-0

peared in only II games be-
fore cutting short his season
last September with a sore

starters are Cal McLish 90

bert (12-12 with Sox and
As); Frank Baumann Q0-13)
and John Buzhardt t6-18
with the Phillies). The No. /
reliefer is Turk Lown (7-5)
and he is 81 years old. Herb
Score is a question mark.
Russ Kemmerer barely is
hanging on. Any rookie help
will have to come from Eddie

Last season may have been
Evening star., 1962-03-20

That's his modest opinion and is widely
unShared. The truth is that Harmon had a
terrific season. Maris may have hit 81
homers, but the petulant Yankee played II
more games and went to bat 40 more times.
And Roger had Mickey Mantle hitting right
behind him. Harmon had Bob Allison, to
be sure, but Allison is not quite Mantle.
II STRIKE OUT TOO MUCH" Kille-
brew offered this day on the Twins bench.
1--WE got to cut down." y
That's what all long-ball hitters say"
he was reminded. w.
"A hundred and nine strikeouts are a
lot," Harmon contended.
II can name seven other hitters in the
American League who struck out 100 times
or more" said baseball writer, whipping
out his record book. "How's this for dis
tinguiShed company" He read: Mantle,
112 StrikeoutS; Skowron, 108; Jake Wood,
141; Allison, 100; Ken Hunt, 100; Gentle,
1O6."
Killebrew powered 20 of his home runs
in Municipal Stadium at Minneapolis
Credence is given to Mele'S contention that
Harmon hasn't reached his peak because on
only hit three homers away from Mime
apolis against the four top Yankees,
Tigers Orioles and White Sox.
An oddity is that Harmon banged only
one in Detroit, which Is a good park for
hitterS, and a mere two in Boston, where
the leftfield fence is just 315 feet. "Im lucky
to be hitting in our park" Harmon said
I'D rather hit in Minneapolis than In De-
troit and far more than in Boston"
AFIELD, KILLEBREW STILL hasn't
found home. Dresser used him at third
base and Cookie Lavagetto alternated Har-
mon there and at first base. Now Mele is
talking of shifting Killebrew to leftfield, a
prospect which doesn't precisely enchant
the sill, 210-pounder with all the muscles
Personally, prefer first baSe," Har-
mon said although understand Mele's
position If Don Mincher is to play, it's got
to be at first. And If he hits, We'll need his
bat. We need lefthanded power"
The Twins aren't too concerned where
Killebrew plays, as long as he can take his
cuts. To date he's not defensive gem at
any position. The other day in the Yankee
camp Maris fingered his teammate, Mantle,
as the hitter most likely to top the 61-
homer mark.
"Mickey's reply" man said to Kille-
brew, "waS that he felt you stood as good
or better chance than anybody else"
Harmon smiled. "Just remember that
Mantle said It, I didn't" he replied. "I'll
settle for another 49,"

Bradley in Action onight

The Crusaders disposed Of Col
orado State University, 1911,
in a rugged Squeaker Saturday
afternoon and the Dukes fol-
lowed with a 1888 rout of
Navy.
Bradley's chief threat, of
course, is two-time All-Amer-
lea Chet Walker, the versatile
6-foot-6 star who paced the
Braves to the 1860 MT title
as a sophomore.
Willie Somerset, a bull
shouldered, 5-10 driver, spear
heads Duquesne. He showed
flashes of mastery in all phases
of the game against Navy, in
cluding exceptional GOODNESS for
a sophomore.
Duquesne was hardly tested
against Navy and it's perform
ance was something less than
inspired. But Bradley Coach
Chuck Orsborn was not lulled-
and for good reason.

Fregosi Makes
Strong Bid for
Angels Berth
1e-Yeor-oId Slams
380-Foot Home Run
To Conquer Cubs
By the Associated Press

By the Associated Press
How va gonna keep him
down on the farm when he
wins ball games for you
Especially when he's 10 years
old and powders 38o-foot home
runs?
You're not, comedies Angels
Manager Bill Rigney.
His current phenom is Jim
Fregosi, rookie shortstop from
Woodside, Calf. All Fregosi has
to do to nail down a job with
the Angels is finish the exhi-
bition season with q $50
batting average.
That shouldn't be too hard
lat the rate he's going. He
whacked q 3-run inside the
park home run yesterdays
380-foot shot-in the sixth
inning to break a 20 tie and
propel the Angels to q go
victory over the Cubs at Palm
Springs, Calf.
Fregosi also had a single In
four trips to the plate and
that brought his average up to
AIT. Last year, he spent most
OF the season at Dallas-Fort
Worth and finished with q .254
average and only a half-dozen
homers. The Angels took q look
at him at the end, and in II
games he compiled q .222 mark.
Yanks Win 9Th Straight
The Angels had several short
stops in 81 and none showed
enough to exactly Stupify
Rigney. Fregosi is a good fielder
and II he produces even a
moderate bat, he has q good
chance Of grabbing the job.
Dean Chance and Jack Spring
divided the pitching for the
Angels, who brought their ex-
hibition record up to SIS.
The two New York clubs, the
Yankees and the Nets, con-
tinued their streaks but in op-
posite directions. The world
champions clobbered tn e
Braves, 1914, at Fort Lauder
dale, for their ninth victory
without a defeat. The Nets
dropped a 10 decision to the
Orioles at st. Petersburg to ex-
tend their losing skein to five.
Skinny Brown and Tom Baker
pitched the shutout.
In other games, the Red Sox
turned back the Indians, 81,
at Scottsdale, Ariz.; Houston
outlasted the Giants, 1873, at
Phoenix; the Dodgers downed
Kansas City, Al, at West Palm
Beach; the Cardinals edged
Cincinnati, 5-4, at Tampa, and
the Senators outslugged the
White Sox, 1912, at Pompano
Beach.
Maris Doubles, Triples
Roger Maris, who still has
not had q home run, collected
a double and a triple to lead
the Yanks' assault.
Bob Miller and Bob BatZ
combined to pitch a good game
for the Nets, but they had no
support. The only run came In
the fifth off Miller on Brooks
Robinson's triple and a fielder's
choice.
Pete RunnelS broke up the
Boston Cleveland game with a
2-out single in the ninth to
drive in the winning run.
Houston combed Jack San
ford for II runs on 10 hits In
the first four innings and, as
it turned out, they needed the
barrage because the Giants
came back strong.
The AS blanked the Dodgers
behind Ed Rakow for six
innings. Bill Fischer, who came
on in the seventh, was the vic
tim Of all the Dodgers runs.
Jim Maloney, plagued by a
sore arm last season, started
for the Reds against the Cards
and in three innings walked
seven men and was tapped for
three hits, good for four runs.

two Of his largest missiles
(about eight megatons) or one
large bomb (about 20 mega
tons) on each of the three mil
itary targets, aiming a bit
toward the city side of the
target in order to take out a
maximum amount of the sub
urbs and city in addition to
the air fields. Also, he would
drop perhaps two 20 megaton
bombs on the city itself.
This would wipe out the en-

kill as many as two million
persons.

So here is- the way the odds
can be figured on the destruc-
ton Of your home. based on
this admittedly hypothetical
thinking:
If you live less than a mile
from Andrews, your home
probably would be in great
danger in any nuclear war.
If you live within a mile of
Dulles or National airports,
you would have a good chance
Of being in q destruction zone.
But If you live elsewhere,
your chances will depond upon
whether the Soviets would be
more likely to use the strategy
threatened in Kremlin speeches

SHELTERS AND SURVIVAL
How Foe Might Hit

be Dulles International Airport,
about II miles from the Dis
trict line in Virginia. Dulles
with its long runways could
be used as a wartime auxiliary
bomber base. Casualties could
be lower than around Andrews,
however. as the Dulles area is
not a built-up suburb.
National Airport, nesting be-
tween Alexandria and the city
is a possible target. but 1t is
probably too small to be on the
SAC list Of wartime fields for
wartime uSe-which the enemy
would know.
If the enemy hit the three
fields, using a total Of about
three megatons of bombs (the
equivalent of 3 million tons
of TNT), many suburbs would
be destroyed, and. according to
Pentagon calculations, the
death toll could total 100000
to 100000 persons (assuming a
modest civil defense program) .
A Pin-Pointing Operation
1t is felt that an intelligent
approach for the enemy would
be to destroy these targets
useing even smaller and more
accurate weapons-small atom
bombs rather than missiles. He
could do the job with about so
kilotons 100000 tons of TNT)
of bombs with less suburban
damage. Deaths could be held
to several thousand persons.
This extra effort to confine
damage to the military targets
could well be worthwhile for
the enemy as it would encour-
age us to be equally careful
and avoid setting off a full
scale city attack.
Another alternative for the
enemy of course would be to
kill civilians deliberately. Pub
lie statements by Soviet leaders
indicate this might be their
strategy-even though to carry
it out would mean the sure and
total ruin Of Russia.

military planners who study
wartime possibilities have made
some estimates of what targets
the enemy might strike in a
war.
This story is based on one of
the most complete war games"
ever worked out on paper for
the Washington area. 1t should
be emphasized that these are
not predictions; they are mere
ly explorations of some war
time possibilities.
The most sensible strategy
for the enemy, it is felt, would
be to concentrate his weapons
on the things in America that
could hit him back-that is,
the long-range striking weap-
ons of the Strategic Air Com
mand and the air-defense in
stallations that might keep his
.bombers away from their tar
gets.
r. Soviet's BOmbers Limited
Today the Russians are be-
Geved to have a limited num-
ber Of big bombers and long
range missiles. Now and for the
next few years the Soviets may
not have enough weapons even
to hit all of SAC, so weapons
spent on other targets could
only guarantee greater destruc-
ton in the Soviet Union.
p Also, if American leaders are
left alive and if American cities
are not all in ruins, the Rus
slams might reason, they would
have a better chance of negoti-
ating - or forcing - a quick,
reasonable settlement to a hor-
rible war. Therefore, the
enemy would be smart to leave
Washington and other cities
alone.
He probably would hit And
