Cardinal's pitching star could become two-time Corvette winner
THK INDIANAPOLIS RECORDER
SATURDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1947
won
St. Louis Cardinal pitcher Bob Gibson, who won the Sport Magaiine Corvette Award as the Most Valuable Player in the 1964 World Series, will have a good chance to win a second sports car, according to pitching plans announce this week by Card Manager Red Schoendienst. Schoendienst revealed that Gibson will draw the starting assignment for the Series opener, and would thus be available for starting duty in games four and seven, shduld the Series take that long. In the 12 years that the Sport Magazine Corvette Award has been presented, ten pitchers have earned the prize, and of those, three had started the opener for their clubs. The three were Whitey Ford of the New York Yankees in 1961, Sandy Koufax of the Los Angeles Dodgers in 1965, and Gibson, himself, in 1964. Koufax, who also earned the Sport Magazine Corvette Award in 1965, is the only two-time winner. Gibson, who missed two months of the 1967 season because of a broken leg, came back with a number of strong games in mid-September and even pitched the pennant-clincher in Philadelphia two weeks ago. Said Schoendienst, “I want to go with experience in the opener, and that means Gibson.” And if Gibson can approach the form he showed in the 1964 World Series in which he won two games (including the seventh and deciding contest) and set a Series strikeout record, then he just might ride off with his sec-

Meanwhile, Gibson and h i s teamates finally found out who they are going to play in the World Series, scheduled to start Wednesday (Oct. 4). The opposition will be the Boston Red Sox. The Bosox, winners of the American League’s batting crown, took the pennant by whipping the Minnesota Twins Sunday, 5-3. They finished one full game ahead of Detroit and Minnesota, and three ahead of
Chicago.
The race, one of the tighest in the history of the league, closed with Chicago losing three of their final four games, while Detroit split with California.
They also feature another .300 hitter in George Scott who finished with 18 homers and
81 RBIs.
But the Cards, who finished
Yank- second in batting behind Pitts-
burgh, is heavily favored to take its second title in three
years.
Behind St. Louis are Curt Flood (.331), Orlando Cepeda (.327), T i m McCarver (.299), Lou Brock (.295) and Roger Maris (.261). All this, in adition to a pitching staff' that has combined for a 74-36 won-loss record, compared to 68-54 for Boston (based on 14 or more games).

Four of Hanratty’s passes were intercepted by Boilermaker defenders who harrassed Hanratty’s receivers. All of Phipps completed passes fell into the right hands as the Irish

down, assert there will be no deals simply to appease disen-
chanted fans.
Thompson said the priority items are a shortstop and a righthand hitter. “If he’s got a good bat, we’ll find a place for him to play whether it’s first base or the outfield,” Thompson stated. Thompeqn also is looking for the take-charge type of ball
for a mistake.
“In Brooklyn, we had Jackie Robinson, Pewee Reese and Gil Hodges. In Los Angeles we had
Maury Wills.”
The Dodgers would like a Wills-type player, but it is highly unlikely O’Malley is in mood to take his former cap-
tain back.
Wills, who fell out of grace for leaving the team rather

him he hopes it will be to Los Angeles. “But I have a hunch that if I’m traded, it will be to an American League team,”

aching side and wounded pride. Griffith fought as if it were a barroom brawl at Shea Stadium last Friday night. He won a majority 15-round decision and regained the title that Benvenuti took away from him in April. The 29-year-old challenger, a 6-5 underdog, knocked down Benvenuti in the 14th round, |urned his face into a bloody mask and sent him to the hospital with a badly bruised rib
cage.
However, reports that Benvenuti had entered the ring with an injured rib probably will be enough to set up a third bout with Griffith. Although Griffith undoubtedly would like to fight Benvenuti again, the newly crowned champion probably will have a title fight against another opponent first The World Boxing Association had stip-

Both judges scored the fight 9-5-1 for Griffith, but referee Tommy Walsh, who had warned both fighters for infractions,
had it a 7-7-1 draw.
