IT IS WORLD SERIES time! .To <in again th highlights of the baseball y.ar comes to us with th-, best o', sewn series for th til. ot Wg.lls Champions. The two leagues have shown u j •ver-d th..- war from the p.itbm that followed th* leagues f >i quite some time. The National 1 agile has a i< pt at winn : in Ihv St. Louis’ Ca.din ils. something that h .sn t been done too many tim > in quite some time. M< inwhile the Anu-man Lagu? has am lie i difb lent i prest n’aJive. s -m thing that only started afb i the Yank • donun am e taded som< ti\ • yeais ago. DETROIT AND ST. LOUIS could provide a very exciting stiv.-. Pitching is always imkey in a short senes and this yea! Will fill 1 tw > of ’he greatest pvi toi n. <n< es in y ais .tinning head on m the s . ies. Denny McLiin. who at the tim- of this writing is siting on top of a 31-5 record. < ertainly has g. ab beu headline after h adhnr with his outstanding performant e. At. inwhil . Bob Gibson has b< *n makilng a few hcadjin-s of his own. His record of wins and loses isn’t' the big point, it is his stingin-ss with the .uns that ha> made his performance something to behold. DETROIT WILL HAVE THE power nod as the Tigers are 'ar ahead of the field in hitting home runs and consequently has scored a lot more runs than the Cardinals. Whenever a team has u player like Al Kahne setting on the bench a good shai • of the time, it is only obvious that they have some pow sr somewh Te. In Willie Horton Bill Frerhan. Norm Cash. Jim Northrup and Dick McAulif'.* all will end up in the homer department, and a coupD more players m *r the ten mark, it is only obvious that that the Tigers are always a threat to iul the ball out of any park. ST. LOUIS HAS SOME VERY potential bats also in such as Curt Flood. Orlando Cepeda, Roger Mans, Mike Shannon, Lou Brock and Tim MeCarver. However this year hasn't been the best for some of these hitting wise, but the potential is still their. ONE FAULT OF A WORLD Series is that not enough pitchers action. The playing of two games, then a day off. three more and then another day of i st and th-n the last two (If s-wn are necassery), lets a a team go with only thre» sta ters. The Cardinals might breast tradition and use four if tli • games are going right.

McLain, Lulich and Wilson as his starters and hove eveyone else in th • bu I pen ready to go. Should the Tigers get away fast, a fourth starter could I • used o assure the other thee plenty o. rest.

Howeve , too often i W<>! Id Serres belongs so much t a pitcher that it almost g< Is to the birring point. Pitching is the name of the game for a winn*r, but still an owr amount of pitching can make for some lack of inter st in watching. Fans still like to see runs and hits and ex *n lopsided gam.-: with a lot of runs are interesting to the fans with the extra action. A COUPLE NOTES OF ACh»n last w-rek had to thrill any ba»?ball fan regardless of what team he backs. With both pennants sewed up, the back toback no hilt *rs thrown Tuesday and Wednesday by Gaylord Perry of the Giants against the Cardinals and then by Ray Washbum the next day against the Giants, had to mak» fans talk. When you talk about ; *t ting even, that is about the limit. Only would it have been more interesting had it been together in a double header. JUbi’ ONE DAY AFTER this was over, McLain took then«ound again for Detroit, going against 20 game winner Mel Stottlemeyer in what rm>st thought would be a real dual. Norm Cush's power kind of took care of things with McLain throwing tough again, but the thrill cam? in the eighth inning when Mickery Mantle stopped to the plate. Mantle over the years has p.o vided as many thrills in baseball as any player of the modern era. And he has done it on ve* bad b'gs. often missing action due to, his condition. Playing out the stHng when it has tn hurt is tribute enough to a great player like Mantle as many sup*r stars of their eras just call it quits all at once. MANTLE HOWEVER. HAS stayed on. possibly too long, but nevertheless, there is still a thrill in seeing him play. In th<* eighth, when he came to bat, McLain gi>t two strikes on him in sc hurry. Mantle has over the years bem a high strikeout batter as ar»- most power hitters. H iw> ver. h - signaled about chest high and after this gesture. MeLun provided to groove nne right at the ch-'st and with that, famous Mantie swing, another homer, the 335th if his career. । < lit o. the pa.k.

thought. MANTLE SAID CALMLY after the game that h thought McLain wan J him to hit that homer. MiLiin. nr mwhi.e, rather smied uh n asked anvut the pitch and said nothing definat • une way or tb? other. However in a great season like McLain is having, h v must have known what that one m.n • home run meant to the fadding Mantle. There is still some room for nostalgia in th-e old game of ba^.’ball a ter ail. SOMETHING IS SHAPING up f<>r the Satui’lay clash between Notre Dam * an I Pu due as the possibly two ti p teams in the count , y meet h ad <n. Both tixims proved in th ir opener that they hav ■ offense. Notre Dame early in the game especially. appeal- d to have the weak-n-ss on d< i n * that could be fatal as they -had newmm *rs at the 1 n bo ki’ g . n 1 di p posts.

All-American Leßoy Keyes will bsad the list of performers, but they have one after another returning from their club and ane not only going te show the Irish some offense with their talent, but som** additional defense also. It I nks tr be a scoring game regardless o' what might happen with the power on offense both t *ams have so the defense that can stop the other the most should decide the winner of this one.
