We were just looking at the American League standings recently and who was at the bottom of the heap? Not Kansas City nor Washington Senators, but Sam Mele's Minnesota Twins. runners-up to the powerful New York Yankees last season.

They ran into trouble early in the season however. As a ma ter of fact it all started in spring training.

Killebrew Was First Casualty

THEIR first setback came when home run slugger Eamon Killebrew, regarded by many as one of the most powerful play- ers in baseball today. stepped in a soft spot in the Orlando out- field and ended up with water on the knee. He has seen little action since.

To sui‘fer the loss of a player like Killebrew could. prove a severe blow to the Twins' opes this season. Up to tin Killebnew was going at a better home run clip for the time that

THE second setback for the Twins came in the final exhib- ition game at Knoxville against Detroit Tigers. Moundsman Paul Foytack steamed one at the plate and batter Rich Collins from. The ball broke his jaw and the important tlurd sacker is now so wired up that he eats through a straw and plays on and of .

I said this Spring that we have a good hall club :and I still say so. But we’ve lost nine of 10 one-run games. It Iwe'd only won four, we’d be in fair shape. Every break has igone against us so consistently that I've even begun to doubt there's such a thing as a law of averages."
