_ Dodgers Style > ' Brings Victory

By CHRIS ANNETT

“Oh dear I was worried” confided Warren Giles, president of the National Rasehall League amidst the shambles ef the victerious Los Angeles Dodgers dressing room expressing al- most exactlythe sentiments of the millions of LA fans who watched the hair tingling contest

If lan Fleming had ever chosen to write about Sandy Koufax without doubt he would have named the book ‘The Man with the Golden Arm’. As Koufax unpacked the hopes of the scrappy Dodgers from the customery pre-game ice pack yester- day it is doubtful that many if any of his multitude of followers believed that the tired and pressure ridden ‘pitcher would ever complete the first five innings let alone go. the whole route with a three hit shutout

However the rangy lefthander came through with another one of those efforts that lead many to call him the greatest hurler ever. How many pitchers could go the route on a fastball alone? Ten poor Twins were outguessed and big Bob, Allison must be still trying to untie the knots in his stomach that he got in swinging at the last two Koufax offerings

Sandy was just two short of tying and three short of break-

ing the World Series record for strikeouts with his total of 29. f |

§ es Sed " However manager Walt Alston was not prepared to make t RECEIVE AWARDS i

same mistake as he did in the first game of the series, that ts leaving Koufax in the game too long. As he remarked after the came “Sandy pitched nine innings on the field and Don (Drvsdale) nine in the bullpen.”’

Nearing .the end of the game it appeared as if Koufax was going to drop on his feet, Nevertheless he came up with that last big effort and in my opinion will receive the MVP award

BACK TO OLD STYLE

Pitching isn’t the whole game though, and it took a couple of fielding gems and some hitting to put the wraps on the game, and consequently the World Series. Although many people scoff at the old adage that any sport is a game of inches it was proven again yesterday as both the outstanding offensive and defensive efforts in the match depended on an inch or less. The first was Lou Johnson's homer. Another inch to the left and that ball was a useless effort. Whether it was hooked or sliced I wouldn't know but it must have reminded a good, many of the local golfers ‘of their drives, which fade about 50 yards into the bush. ;

Jim Gilliam redeemed himself for fanning with two on hase in the sixth ame with that sparkling block of Versalles liner up the third base line. If the ball should have gotten through it would have tied the ball game but Jim came up with that sprawling grab and scrambled back to the third sack in time to force the oncoming Quilici. This got Koufax out of the only serious jam he was in all afternoon.

The Dodgers also reverted to their scrambling , style of at- tack and it was about time. Gilliam pulled one of the prettiest thinking plays that I have noted in a long time and this is how it went..In the top half of the first inning Gilliam laid down a sacrifice bunt but the alert Kaat was right on top of the hall. Now . . . how many of the fans remarked upon how slowly Gilliam was running. . . This was the classic sucker play with the percentages stacked against Kaat. Gilliam was trying to get Kaat to hurry a throw to second base (a wild one perferably’ and try the foolish double play. The Dodger hit and run play was er and Kaat had the presence of

as ever as he had two putouts and four assists. RAMBLINGS...

Zolin Versalles stated in the dressing room after yesterday's game that the Dodgers had. won on luck and cited Johnson's homer and Gilliam’s grab as proof of the statement. There tg-an old quote-which comes to my mind the context of which is something to the effect that luck comes only after one has put out 100% effort. If this is the case. then the Dodgers cer- tainly deserved their championship for “it was only hard work - that earned them the position that they hold today.

The lackadaisical batting efforts of Tony Oliva played~a- big role in the loss of the Twins. It's a bad time of the year to have a slump, eh Tony. —
