longer season (see aforementioned quail
ification).
The first reason looms as the most
important. Last time we looked there were
only Is hitters at 800 or better in both
leagues. And some Of the club batting
averages sound more like the weight of o
college football line. To quote:
Nets and Colt 45s-21S each. San
ators .227. Cubs .240. Indians 241.
ONE OF THE INTRIGUING little ques-
tionS concerning the upcoming World Series
is whether Ralph Houk will 60 all the way
with his young first baSeman, Joe Pepitone,
against the Los Angeles southpaws, Sandy
Koufax and Johnny Podres First, Joe is a
rookie; secondly, he bats lefthanded.
Both circumstances were factors be-
hind the early-season purchase Of the vet
eran, well-traveled Harry Bright from Gin
cinnati, where he didn't play after his good,
nearly-full season with the Senators in 80.
Houk had no way Of knowing whether Pep
itone, only %, could make 1t, at least on a
daily basis
For what It's worth the Yankees never
have gone into World Series with rookie
on the bag Lou Gehrig was young when he
played In 1925, but he had played season
in the American League. All the others,
before and after Gehrig, scarcely were
novices, including as they do Pipp, Skow-
ron, Mize, McQuinn and others.
Now Houk says he will start Pepitone,
and his other seven regulars, and abstain
from platooning There is a chance that
he will change his mind before the series
Is over.
IRONICALLY, BRIGHT won't be play
Ing, II he does at all, because he has any
more World Series experience than Pepi-
tone, who Is a dozen years younger. or
Harry has been knocking about In pro ball
for II years and this will be his first payoff.
It's just that Bright bats righthanded
They're both lucky to be in the Series,
especially Pepitone In his first season. A
lot Of stars, some OF the super variety,
never played for pennant winner. Mickey
Vernon, for example, toiled for I8 years in
the majors alone and always had TO pay his
way to see Series Two-time American
League batting champion, too.
George Sisler hit 400 twice and lasted
long time, yet he wasn't In a Big One,
either. Nor was Minnie Minoso, for whom
time is running out; Yves Ferrel, Luke Ap-
pling, Ralph Kiner and Ted Lyons. "A voice
from the more distant past advises against
forgetting Hal Chase)
BaseballS must be lop-sided to take
such funny bounces. Mary Breeding won't
have to pay next week. True, Mary will be
sitting on the Dodger bench and won't be
used except In q case Of extreme hardship
But he got there, however obliquely. And
failing to stick with the Senators is about
as oblique path as a guy can travel.

VIM LOSE OR DRAW
20 Club Membership
Soors With Expansion

MUCH is BEING MADE of the fact
that nine big league pitchers already have
registered 20 victories or more so far, and
that by sundown on Sunday there could
be a dozen. But unanswered Is the ques-
ton: How come?
The house journalists Of baseball are
unStinting in their praise of The Game.
They interpret the pitchers success as an
indication that it is a wondrously performed
paStime these days Take the Sporting
NetDs' comment for instance: ',t.
a.. . If that is true (that pitching is
approximately 80 per cent of the game),
the major leagues this year have been
blessed with some of the best baseball In
the modern era of the lively ball. ;"
Neutrals will contest or reject this
point. They may even contend that 1t
doesn't necessarily mean anything Of the
sort but could mean the opposite. Couldn't
the hitters today be from hunger? After all,
didn't all of these current 2O-gamers blos-
som after expansion. Chew on this little
And save bite for the enlarged strike zone,
although 1t has been re-introduced only this
season.
Also, remember they play 1852 games,
not l54, Just in case some 11th-hour mem
bers Of the 20-game club turn up.

LAST TIME THE American League was
an eight-team circuit there wasn't single
20-game winner. That was 1860 The fol-
lowing season the new Senator's and the
Angels were franchised Qf that's q word)
and Whitley Ford Of the Yankees and Frank
Larry Of the Tigers won rs and %, respec-

Last year in the All there were four, Dick

GuqIieImi Kicks Awoy
Chance for Pension

I would 60 out there only with
the understanding that I could
help the ball club. I'll take my
chances on the pension being
made retroactive beyond 1859
at some future date"
Under the NILS pension
plan, a player must be on the
active roster for at least three
games a. year in five years,
starting in 1859, to become
eligible. Guglielmi had played
two games this year-and need
ed one more to qualify.
The 49erS were still looking
for some quarterbacking insur-
ance. San Francisco put in q
claim for Lamar McHan, placed
on waivers by Baltimore, but
McHan said he hadn't decided
whether to retire or continue
playing.
The only team that received
what 1t wanted turned out to
be the Giants. With the orig
inal Guglielmi swap for defen-
sive back Eddie Dove and q
draft choice cancelled. the
Giants talked with San Fran
cisco again, and wound up with
Dove in exchange for a high
draft choice.

NEW YORK, Sept. 26 CAP
Ralph Guglielmi has made
his last play as a professional
football player, kicking away
more than a $100-a-week pen
sion he could have claimed
merely by showing up for one
game with the San Francisco
49ers.
Traded to the 49ers by the
New York Giants Tuesday, the
29-year-old former Notre Dame
All-America decided yesterday
to retire. In doing so, he passed
up an estimated $437 monthly
pension, or 1924 a year, he
would start receiving at age IS.
Guglielmi said he was aware
Of the pension but he had been
refused a no-cut contract by
San Francisco and would have
been doing a grave injustice to
myself and to the 49ers If I
went out there Just to play
one game and be sure of a
pension"
Guglielmi, a quarterback in
the National Football League
since 1865 at Washington, st..
Louis and New York, said he
would return to his insurance
business in Washington.
II wanted the 49ers to insure
my contract and not go out
there on a look-see basis" said
Guglielmi In discussing his de-
cision. I'm a couple of weeks,
maybe John Brodie's arm would
come around and they'd say,
I'll see you Or maybe they'd
lose a couple more ball games
and they'd clean house. They
wouldn't go for any no-cut
contract.
Sure, 1t means a lot Of
money" he said, but 1t all
depends on how you look at 1t.

KOufax Joins Elite
Sandy Koufax won his 25th
in that one and became the
fourth pitcher in modern major
league history to strike out 300
in one season. Rube Waddell
of the AS got 349 (disputed) In
1904, Walter johnson of the
Senators 313 in 1910, and Bob
Feller of Cleveland set the
recognized record of 348 in 1916.
Groat is batting 800 after
two hits in five tries as the
second-place Cardinals ended a
six-game losing string by beat
ing the Cubs. So.
Cepeda of the Giants
whacked a three-run homer in
four appearances yesterday and
has a .319 mark. His blow was
matched by q three-run, pinch

HE said his Second-game

Mantle In Good Shape
Houk, who has been able to
play his regular lineup, includ-
ing Mantle and Maris, only 10

Ford, who has a PAT record,

He has lost five. Koufax, who
has appeared in two World

decision in 1859. He was beat
en-, 10, by the White Sox.
Whitley, of course, is the log

home opener isn't a key game,
because the season is still
young. A victory won't put the
Redskins in the title playoff
and a defeat won't necessarily
wreck them. Nevertheless, S,
Coach Bill McPeak and his men
give visitors the impression
that this is one game they've
got to win.
They're doing extra home
work on Cowboy films, search
ing for offensive flaws or de-
fensive weaknesses that may
be exploited. And If they find
them the Redskins must have
enough power to take advan-
tage of them. To that end, the
practice routine has been
changed.
Dummy Scrimmage
Dummy line scrimmage and
pass defense, with helmets on,
featured yesterdays lengthy
workout. The squad boned up
on some of its own strategy and
took another look at the tao
tics Don Meredith and Eddie
LeBaron are expected to use at
D. c. Stadium Sunday.
After the Cleveland defeat
McPeak ordered a round of
scrimmage for all hands to re-
mind the boys of the purpose
OF the game, and they did
better at Los Angeles.
The Cowboys defensive line
is one Of the biggest in the
National Football League. Bob
Lilly Is 6 feet 4 and weighs
Isl, Guy Reese is 6-5 and 258,
John Meyers 6-6 and 276 and
Larry Stephens, GA and 260.
The quartet has discouraged
more than one team-the
Browns excepted-from trying
to run against the Cowboys.
McPeak is keeping his own
counsel about the offensive
plans, but it's a foregone con-
clusion that they will revolve
around Norman Snead's pass
ing. Each week from now on
McPeak will change things
