SE6H AT LARGE

FROM THE UPPER MIDWEST, where
the deer, the antelope and the Twins
play, comes word that Calvin Griffith's
converts are gradually attaining their
baseball majority.
A day-to-day historian accompanying
: the Twins bears assuring tidings. His con-
stituency, he contends, positively won't
jump into any of the States 10000 lakes in
mass suicide demonstration should Min
neSota fail to win the pennant. ,-a
The columniSts out there are helping
to develop a nice non-winning spirit. It
is too early for the Twins to be, winning,
they lecture their readers They don't
want us to become another Milwaukee"
the visiting writer explained -".
AS long as the Yankees pay their entry
fee each year there is little danger Of any
American League franchise becoming IAN
other Milwaukee" Fans there have be-
come truant protesting the decline of the
Braves, whose only crime was to win too
early after the move from Boston.

taste Of reality when the Yankees barged
forth, as usual, to leave 'em dead
Flushed with the success of last years
achievement, Calvin practically clinched
the flag for the Twins in Orlando. The
Yankees offered no protest. After all, 1t
was only March and very few teams have
sewed up the pennant that early TO-,
Back in Minnesota, Griffith g. Co. prob
ably are still trying to hatch schemes to
knock off New York. However, here in
Washington, Sam Mele takes a more real
istic view OF his clubs chanches.
We've got seven games left with
them" he said. II We win all seven we'll
still be Az games back" Thus by his rec
itation Of a simple problem of subtraction
Mele wrote off the chances Of Minnesota.
The fortnight manager, now concen-
trating on finishing second again, has no
new suggestion on how the Yankees ever
will be beat but does manage a novel ex-
PLANTATION Of why they are winning so
easily this year.
THOSE GUYS" he said, with disgust,
"are so good they even know when to lose."
The way Mele analyses 1t, the Yankee
timetable for defeat is so well-planned
that 1t actually doesn't pay for pretenders
to mount winning streak. Usually 1t is
worthless.

Ridzik Wins Fifth

The Senators cashed an
other dividend when Ridzik
won his fifth game since being
purchased July 8. 1t was Steve's

second victory over the Twin,
in nine days.
Ron Kline relieved Ridzik ir
the seventh and picked up his
18th save. This leaves him only
one behind Bill Daley, the
Twins far more publicized re.
lever who recorded his 18th
save In relief of Dick Stigmar
in the opener.
It appeared that Ridzik was
struggling, but Steve insists
that he had the game under
control. He pitched five shut
out innings in which he
stranded six batters. Dor
Mincher clipped him for 9
homer in the sixth, and after
Jimmy Halls 25th homer ir
the seventh Umpire Bob Stew.
art said Ridzik hit Minchel
with a high pitch.
Hodges came out to argue
with Stewart. and while he wa,
out he broughttin Kline. Ridzil
was steaming and might moi
have been able to settle down
in pitching to Killebrew. Kline
struck him out. Allison hit No
% off Kline in the eighth.

Ridzik maintained the pitch
to Mincher was a foot over his
head. Stewart said the ball
tipped Minche RS helmet,
Catcher Cal Neeman said II
tipped Mincher's bat. Hodges
maintained it might have hit
something, but not Mincher.
Blasingame's feature contri-
buttons were in the early
innings of the nightcap. In the
third he knocked down Min
cher's bid for a hit to right
and held it to an infield single,
preventing Jim Kaat from scor-
ing from second with two out
In the Senator's third he
outfoxed Bernie Allen Of the
Twins and prevented a double
play when he slowed up between
first and second on Minnie
Minoso's grounder while Brink
man scored from third. Allen
lost his chance to tag Blasin-
game, looked at home, second
and first and finally threw to
second for the force. Minoso
easily beat the relay to first.
Tom Cheney lasted four
batters in the opener before he
asked out with the same old
arm trouble. Ed Roebuck
pitched creditable relief ball for
almost six innings before Kille-
brew's Goth and Allison's 9th
homers reached the upper deck,
and Earl Battey singled.
No. Is for Hinton
Chuck Hinton kept the Sena-
tors in the game until the
Twins exploded. Chuck's 18th
homer with Minoso aboard tied
1t at % in the sixth, and in
the Twins seventh Hinton
reached over the fence In right
to take a homer from Mincher.
Stigman squared his record
at 1913 but had a scare in
the first inning when Don
Locks apparent homer with
two on merely was a long fly
to left-center. The ball died at
the last minute.

The ST. Croix Chamber

ing next Tuesday. The topic
for discussion will be a
frank evaluation of what's
bad and what's good about
the Virgin Islands as a tour
ist resort.
Featured speakers for the
evening will be NJ. B. Dolly,
manager of traffic and sales
for Caribair, and Mrs. Car
men Simmons, deputy COM
missioner of tourism for the
Virgin Islands. Both speak
ers will explore the same
topic from different view
points, but with emphasis
upon the idea that we on
these Islands should face
up to whatever may be
bad" about us from the
tourist standpoint, and take
action to correct it.
The Chamber Of Com
merce has taken the initial
action Of calling this meet
ing, after hearing a warning
from New York travel
agents to the effect that
unless the Virgin Islands
do something drastic very
soon, this will be the last
year for ST. Thomas and St.

Because the topic is so
important, the Chamber
