Koufax was told to rest for six weeks
but Koufax was threatening to break Bob
Feller's strikeout record for a single season.
Also, Los Angeles was en- route to the
pennant. He kept pitching until his fast
ball became a batting practice pitch and
his curve was nothing.
Funny part was that after Sandy was
sidelined the Dodgers won II of their next
81 games and widened their lead over the
Giants until they looked to be shoo-ins. But
Aston was using only three starters over
this Stretch-Drysdale PodreS and Williams
and by September they were too tired to
stand off the Giants.
DRYSDALE WON rs, Podres is and
Williams IA, but everybody knew the
Dodgers best pitcher was Koufax. He
might be the best pitcher on any club,
either league. The Angels, who share
Chavez Ravine If not the patronage with
the Dodgers, tried to make capital on a
no-hitter their man 30 Belinsky threw
early in '62.
They've got Koufax, we've got Belin-
sky" they chortled. But they were deluding
themselves, and baseball men knew 1t.
Belinsky never will see the day he's in the
same class. Koufax's fast ball is faster, his
curve is doubly sharper, and his control is
superior.
Perhaps he hasn't the style and finesse
OF Warren SPAIN, but Sandy doesn't need
1t yet. In 1861 when he began to find him
self, he won 10 and struck out 269 batters
in 256 innings, breaking the National
League mark set by Christy Mathewson in
1908.
KoUFAX ISN'T STRIKING out quite
so many per inning this season, but only
Drysdale is anywhere close to his 259
whiffs. No pitcher in the American League
is even in the vicinity Of 200 strikeouts.
"our guy" says Allan Roth, Official
statistician Of the Dodgers, us the only
starting pitcher in major league history to
average more than a strikeout per inning"
At Dodgertown the pitcher found him
self pausing at whatever he was doing and
studying the finger, as II 1t were a
stranger, an allen part Of him, potential
enemy. 1t betrayed him out OF the clear
blue in '62 and Koufax UNDERSTANDABLE was
suspicious. But so far it's plain to see, the
cure Is complete.
In the World Series the Dodgers will
need all the pitching they can get from
Koufax, Drysdale, Podres and Ron Perrano-
ski, the reliefer. The Dodgers don't hit
much and their defense borders on the
atrocious. II they beat the Yankees it will
have TO be done with pitching, which also
happens TO be the American League
champs strong point.

IN RETROSPECT it seems the article,

KoufaX now is the first major league
pitcher to have won 81 games in 1858. He
has struck out $50 hitters in 265 innings,
more or less par for him. But last March it
wasn't considered presumptuous. There
were serious doubts about the 27-year-old
southpaw.
Manager Walt Aston prefaced remarks
about the Dodgers by saying, IF Koufax
:" In the clubhouse Don Drysdale and
Johnny Podres lamented the trade OF Stan
Williams to the Yankees. What are we

plaintively. 1t was evident that he and
Podres regarded Koufax as a question
mark.
Sandy himself wasn't sure II his
mysteriously numb finger OF 1862 would
remain cured. He walked toward his room
with his magazines and talked about IT.

Ted Bates, linebacker from
the Cardinals, joined the
Redskins today as National
Football League teams tried to
shuttle personnel within the
temporary 4O-player limit.
To make room for the 6-foot-
2l2, five-year veteran, Coach
Bill McPeak waived rookie
Linebacker Harry Butsko of
Maryland, who joined the six
players dropped yesterday.
Butsko showed promise and
McPeak was impressed by his
enthusiasm and football sense,
but the Redskins are more in
need of experience at this time.
Big Cut Next Week
Bates is a 220-pounder who
was an All-America tackle at
Oregon State in 1858. He was
the Cardinals fifth draft
choice in 1859.
With a 48-hour waiting pc
Rod before waiver lists become
final, the IA NIL coaches have
until 4 pm. tomorrow to
change their minds. Some are
trying to make deals for play
ers on their lists, hoping to
wangle draft choices for them,
and others are sitting tight
and awaiting developments.
The big cut comes next week
when the teams must reduce
their rosters to the 37-player
season limit. American League
and Canadian clubs have their
eyes peeled and pens poised
for this one, hoping to pick
off several Of the AZ players
who must be dropped. These
will be borderline cases, play
ers so close to making this
grade coaches need all possible
time to decide among them.

Tired Willie Rests

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 4
(AP) Willie Mays won't put
on a uniform until Friday
night when the Giants open a
three-game series against Los
Angeles.
Mays sagged to one knee
while batting against Chicago
Monday and was sent home
to recuperate from nervous ex-
hauStion.
II don't care what he does

said Manager Alvin Dark after
he talked to his $100,000-a-

Willie said he felt fine but
was just tired" Dark added.

last year.
Junker's departure meant the
five-year veteran from Xavier
never came back to his big
freshman year with the Lions.
A knee injury put him on the
shelf and the Redskins, hoping
for a comeback, traded Full
back Johnny Olszewski for him
in 1861. Elmore really had no
chance at quarterback, his COL

teams punter last year after
Sam Horner was traded to the
Giants, and while not gifted in

pressure on his ailing knee.
Bouton, who was TT last
year in his first season in the
big leagues, will have at least
four or five more starts. He
not only appears a cinch to be
a 20-game winner, but could
lead the American League in
victories as we'll.
The Senators will not gain
any pitching help until they
return home Friday night to
meet the Indians. And jim
Hannah and Carl Bouldin will

Toronto made the International

the october classic.
In addition Jim Bouton, who
shut out the Senators April 6,
1862, for his first major league
victory, will attempt to join
teammate Whitley Ford as a
2O-game winner this afternoon.
Osteen Faces BOutOn
Claude Osteen, who owns the
only two complete games by a
Senators pitcher in their last
Is, will oppose Bouton.
Nantes presence in the
starting lineup in the second
game Of the Labor Day double
header caught everybody by
surprise and in typical Mantle
fashion he didn't spare any
thing.
He twice slid into second
base following singles, at
tempted to steal third because
he thought it was a surprise
move and caught the only ball
hit to him.
Manager Ralph Houk tenta-
lively plans for Mantle to go
most of the way at least every

today against the lefthanded
Osteen, but he figures to be
in the Yankee lineup tomorrow

games played.
Baltimore touched loser Dave
Morehead for two unearned
runs in the first inning, Trade

the clincher in the seventh on
Luis Aparicio's dazzling base
running. Aparicio beat out an
infield single, stole second and
third-giving him IS steals
and loped in on Boog Powell'S
double.
Barber, 1910, gave way to
Miller after a leadoff walk to
Felix Mantilla in the eighth,
and Stuart belted his homer
against the slowballing reliever
two outs later.
Tigers Lead Early
Smiths single was only the
fifth Tigers hit off Yankee
pitching in the 4-hour, 7-min-
ute affair at Detroit, and came
after Bill Kunkel had Issued
one-out walks to Norm Cash
and Bill Freehan.
The Tigers took a 20 lead
against AL Downing in the first
four innings but were blanked
over the next 10 by Downing,
Tom Metcalf and Hal Reniff.
Jim Burning, striving to get
his first victory over the Yanks
in four years, BANKED them on
five hits through seven innings,
then was tagged for home runs
by Joe Pepitone in the eighth
and John Blanchard in the
ninth.
New York mounted several
threats in overtime but was
stymied, in turn, by Mickey
Lolich, Fred Gladding and win
ner Terry Fox. The setback
left the Yanks with an 111a-
