Mays Key To Giants'
1955 Pennant Chances
(This is the serenth in a
series on the 1955 prospects of
the major league clubs.)
By DICK FALES
Phoenix, Ariz. (U.R) The in
evitable question with the world
champion Giants is "Willie" and
they're asking it "Will he?"
For Willie Mays holds the key
to the Giant pennant chances.
Will he be the same superla
tive young star who threatened
Eabe Ruth's home run record,
led the major leagues in hitting,
and became the national league's
most valuable player in his first
lull season?
Will he provide the same in
spirational spark that lifted the
whole club into a fighting unit
and prompted Manager Leo
Durocher to state that, "As Wil
lie goes, so go the Giants?"
Or will he perhaps, become
a little jaded after a long hard
winter of baseball in Puerto
Rico and run out of gas?
The Giants are wondering be
rincs cpMnm has thp destinv of
a pennant-defending team been
bo bound up in one player.
Eyes on Maglie
The Giants stood pat with
their champs a dangerous busi
ness in a league where only one
pennant winner has repeated
since 1944, the Dodgers of 1952-
53.
The pitching could be too
thin, particularly if Sal Maglie
reaches the end of the road, or
if Larry Jansen fails in his bid
lor a comeback. Durocher ad
mits he could be in trouble un
less he comes up with another
dependable starter.
"We've got Johnny Antonelli
and Ruben Gomez for two of
the starting spots and they're

great," he said. "We've got a
lot of pitchers to spot, but we
need that other regular starter,
the big guy who can pick up the
slack. That's where Jim Hearn
could give us a real lift."
Also sure to be a starter is
Don Liddle, who won nine and
lost four last year, and who
could develop into the No. 3
man. For relief, of course, there
is the incomparable knuckle-
ball ace, Hoyt Wilhelm, and tne
hard-working M a r v Grissom.
Grissom still i3 a questionable
factor because of arm trouble.
Rnnlrio Tno TVTarPnnpri has
been getting a let of work in the
exhibitions and bonus pitcner
Paul Giel is going to see more
action. The rest of the staff will
consist of guys like Al Worthing
ton, George Spencer, Ramon
Monzant and Al Corwin, none of
them proven major leaguers.
Infield "Best"
The Giant infield stacks up
with the best in baseball, with
Whitey Lockman at first, Davey
Williams at second, captain and
sparkplug Alvin Dark at short,
and hard-plugging Henry Thomp
son at third. Williams, who has
a bad back and a low batting
average, is the only question
mark but if he can play every
day and field like he did last
year, the club can carry him.
The same is true with first
string catcher, Wes Westrum,
one of the best mitt men in base
ball. He batted" only .187 last
season but still helped win game
after game with his fine han
dling of the pitchers. Ray Katt,
of whom much has been expect
ed, may yet develop into a top
flight catcher and Mickey Gras
so, the veteran picked up in
the draft from Cleveland, is a
hustler who can help.
With Mays as key man in the
outfield, the Giants are well
fixed here too, although every
one in camp is hoping that
Monte Irvin's bad season of
1954, in which he hit only .262,
was a temporary lapse and that
he isn't coming to the end of the
road. Irvin used to be the team's
most dependable run-producer
but drove in only 64 in '54.
Tf he ran hit aeain. left field
is his spot, while Don Mueller, a
.342 batsman who is snooiing io
lead the league in hitting, has
right field to himself. Dusty
Rhodes, baseball's most distin
guished pinch-hitter, is the No.
1 spare. Home run slugger Bob
Lennon, up from Nashville
where he hit 64, Bill Taylor
and Eric Roden are fighting it
out for the number five spot.
Infield reserve strength is
satisfactory with Bobby - Hof
man, bonus player Joe Amal
fitano, Foster Castleman, Bill
Gardner and Gail Harris the
ones most likely to stick.
