This question was . : tossed by a perspiring Whitey :Ford after his second shutout lover the Pittsburgh Pirates in ; the World Series. "It was 12-0 and are yon : kidding?" a writer replied. : "Klnda lost .count out : there,!' said Ford pushing his ;cap back on his head. . "That shutout was a little tougher than the one I had : Saturday at Yankee Stadl ;um," he said. "It took us long er to get the' runs today." Ford, whose seven-hit shut lout evened the series at 3-all, .'admitted he was shaky in the first two innings. ; , - "They were hitting the ball . on the ground. That s the kind lof pitches I must make 'make 'em hit on the ground But in this infield the ball Igoes through like lightning.' :Some Doubts Ford said he had some doubts about the third Inning when his fingers were burn ing. . ; - "I was afraid a blister was ; developing, he said. So I .took one finger off the seam !and that relieved the pres sure a bit. Course it had some effect my fast ball wasn't as good as I wanted it and the curve came a bit tougher." : Ford said he never knew definitely that he would pitch the six game Wednesday until 11 o clock in the morning. "Case just come up' and said 'Here's the lineup.1 I saw ' my name.' In my mind last . night I kinda thought I would pitch, though." ............ ' Whitey reflected a second when someone asked if this was the most satisfying vic tory in his baseball career. "It will be If we win the Series Thursday," he said.

And right , down to what could be his final game, the master manipulator held off the announcement of his start ing pitcher until the last min ute, when he named Bob Tur- Iey. Manager Danny Mur- taugh, on the other hand, made it definite that 20-game winner Vern Law, who has won two Series games with relief aid from clutch-reliev er Elroy Face, would be on the firing line for the Pirates. Eagle Point Juggles for IV Cougars '' Eagle Point - Eagle Point high Coach Vern Steward has made a number of line-up changes and has had his foot ball : club working on defens ive alignments and offensive polish in preparation for a Rogue league game with Illi nois Valley. The teams meet at 8 p.m. Friday at Eagle Point. . f The Eagles (2-0) are tied with Phoenix for the loop lead. IV (0-2) shares the cel lar with 'Rogue River. Over - confidence is a fear here on the part of the Eagles. IV, fell 25 to 0 Hen ley last Saturday. But there's feeling the Cougars might have licked the over-confident Hornets with a few breaks, Eagle Point this week will be without the services of regular tailback, Steve Geren. He is attending a Future Farmers conference in Kansas. Tom Perdue has been shifted from quarter to tailback be cause of his speed and passing ability. Gary Ayres, 190 senior lineman and one of the fastest players on the squad, has drawn the quarterback assignment. Center Support BUI Skeetcrs, outstanding against Glendale last week, will be at fullback. At wing back will be Mike Palm who has averaged 6.8 yards per carry in the league and who intercepted two Glendale passes. Coach Steward has been trying to find support for Bill Ayres, freshman, and John Lindcr, sophomore, at center. He's been working senior tackles Marvin Cothrln and Don Pestk athere. Ayres or Pestka will be the Friday starter at the pivot. Ends may be Charles Pomcroy and Ron Weldman and tackles Ray Petersen and Cothrin. Dick Wilson has been shifted from end to guard because he is one of the team's best block ers. He and Roy Moore will be interior line starters. Returning to action this week along with Gary Ayres is Dick Hcrtager, small in size but strong on defense. Steward noted the improve ment of Dick Ayres, 225, junior tackle, and cited the defensive work of Gary Stele against Glendale. ' . Milwaukee -IUPD Catcher Stan Lopata has been given his unconditional release by the Milwaukee Braves it was announced today by General Manager Johnny McHale. Lo pata, 35, a native of Dclray Mich., started in the majors with the Phillies in 1948 and was with them except for one year in the minors until 1058 when he was traded to the i Braves. ,X , . i i C If Casey didn't say this would be his last day on the job after Wednesday's 12-0 Series- squaring romp but there were tears in his eyes when he was presented with a petition from the New York baseball writers asking him not to re sign "in the interests of the game." Murtaugh sent Law to the mound in an attempt to bring the Pirates their first world St. Mary's Primes for Panthers St, Mary's High of Medford facing its toughest foe yet this season In its District 5B title, defense, has added new Wing T plays this week to its basic multiple offense. . The Crusaders are groom ing their attack for a scuffle with the strong Chiloquin Panthers. This Friday night brush will be at 8 p.m. in Gem stadium at Klamath Falls. Medford's parochial School aggregation also is drilling on new defense aimed at stop ping a power Panther single wing offense. Chiloquin has reported good speed with backs Benny Nygren, Mike Ochoa and Al DeBortoll and a fine pass receiver in 6-3 end Paul Harris. Line stal warts include Frank Hedlund, Frank Hoback, Harold Old aker and Ed Case. Johnny Jackson is a standout defen sive back. Chiloquii last week end won 19 to 0 from Sacred Heart of- Klamath. Falls,' a team, which St. Mary's down ed 26 to 6. The Panthers did all their scoring against SH in the first half. To beat the Trojans, SM had to break a 8-all second half deadlock. Should Be Ready Said Chiloquin coach Gor don Kuist after the Sacred Heart tangle, "We played a bang-up game. I think we'll be ready for St. Mary's next week end." At St. Mary's, Coach Bill McKlbbin reported some in jury troubles. Joe Kaiser, de fensive linebacker, was hit on the head in the Tuielake game last Friday and has had re curring headaches this week. It's doubtful whether he'll go against the - Panthers. Don Print may get the call. Alex Mete, halfback, has a stone bruise on his heel and Aundre Knutson could see duty in his spot End Dan Jacobson is still troubled by a bad ankle. Possible SM starters on of fense are Paul Elliott and Pete Naumcs, ends; Pat Stin son and Marv McGee, tackles; Brian Von Buskirk and Jerry Vakoc, guards; Mike Stlnson, center; Jim Calhoun, quarter back; Dick Evans and Alex Mete or Knutson, halfbacks, and Fred Lucas, fullback.

The Pirates' last National league pennant before this year was In 1927 when the Yankees swept four straight from them in the Series'. Injury Sidelines Howard The fractured finger suffer ed by catcher Elston Howard in Wednesday's fiasco determ ined that the Yankees again had Yogi Berra in left field and Johnny Blanchard behind the plate. Stengel also said that Cletis Boyer would be his third baseman. Law, who mixes a good fast ball with sinker, change up and slider, won the first and fourth games for the Pi rates 4 but needed help both times from Face. 'm ' Turley, who won the final game of the 1958 Series with the Braves, went 8 1-3 innings to receive credit for the Yan kees' 16-3 second game rout. One of the most curious Series ever played was forced to a seventh and final game Wednesday in a record-filled utter rout. When it was all over, Bobby Richardson had set a Series record 12 runs batted in for one series and. the Yankees' six-game totals of 46 runs and 78 hits were also records, , Richardson topped a mark of 10 previously held by Berra and Ted Kluszewskl while the Yankee team totals topped previous records' of 43 runs by the 1936 Yankees and 74 hits by the New York Giants of .1912. For the six games, the Yankees had an astonish ing .341 team batting aver age. . .. ;' - Hugh Campbell Heads Passers New York-(UPI)-Hugh Camp bell, a sophomore end from Washington State, is estab lishing himself as one of the most . dangerous pass-receiv ing ends in college football since Alabama's famed Don Hutson. NCAA Service Bureau sta tistics 'released today show that Campbell leads the na tion's pass receivers in passes caught, yards gained and touchdowns, marking the first time one player ever has led in all three principal de partments at the same time. Campbell has caught 26 passes, gained 398 yards and tallied five touchdowns. He has caught three more passes than Bill Voss of Hardin-Sim-mons, gained 51 more yards than Hugh Richter of Wiscon- son and scored one more touchdown than Larry Vargo of Detroit. McKEEVER ILL Los Angeles-fflPD-Star guard Mike McKeever will almost certainly miss Southern Cali fornia's game Saturday against California in the Coli seum because of a serious sinus infection which has caused loss of weight. 0 I Klu Thinks Pirates Err In Pitching By MILTON RICHMAN - Pittsburgh -fllPD- The Pitts burgh Pirates have been pitch ing Bobby Richardson all wrong: V'ho says so? Big Ted Kluszewski, who -Lheld the old World Series rec ord of 10 runs batted in joint ly with Yogi Berra until Wed nesday when Richardson cracked the mark by boosting his RBI total to 12 for the current Series. Don't get the idea Klu's comments stem from sour grapes. Ted isn't built that way. "More power to Richard son," said the burly Chicago White Sox first baseman, who is doing post-game television commentary on the Series here. "Records are made to be broken and I think the little guy is making, one hell uva showing. "But I'm really surprised at the way the Pirates are pitch ing him. They're keeping the ball up on him and in Chi cago we never pitch him high. High Fait Ball "That homer he hit with the bases full in the , third game was on a high fast ball that was in on him. And both those triples he hit yesterday were on high fast bails. We keep the ball down on him and away. Instead of fast balls, we throw him breaking balls." Kluszewskl pointed out that the surprising New York Yankee second baseman has been "the most natural hit ter." as far as swinging at the ball is concerned, in the en tire Series. "In a way that's not so hard to understand," Klu , said. The big names like Roger Maris, Mickey Mantle, Yogi Berra and Bill Skowron get all the publicity and try their hardest to live up to it. But a little guy like Rich ardson, who hit only one hom er all season, doesn't get much advance publicity and there fore is more likely to play his normal game."

Richardson Attributes Series Record To Luck Editor's Notes Bobby Richardson . of the New York Yankees broke a World ' Series .record Wednesday by hitting a pair of triples that give him a total of 12 runs bat-, ted -in so far. He gives his impressions of the game in the following dispatch.) . By BOBBY RICHARDSON Written for UPI Pittsburgh-llIPD-That- record of mine merely means I was lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time, And when I say lucky that's exactly what I mean. I'd never even had a chance at the record if there didn't happen to be men on base when I came up. It seems Red Raiders Encounter' OTI Eleven ; Ashland - "This is the one to win, and I think we can do it," proclaimed Southern Oregon college coach Al Ak kins w h e n quizzed on t h e chances of his Raiders whip. ping Oregon Tech in Klamath Falls this Saturday night. Akins went on to say that he was pleased with the ef fort against Portland State but there were still some problems to be worked out. . "We realize Ore Tech has a better than' average club after winning four games without a defeat, but I feel that we have come along fine enough so that, with a good effort we could set them back on their heels," Akins remark ed. . - SOC has one item in its fa vor. It will be near top shape for the first time this season. Only Ron Mullanix and Willie Garner, because of injuries, are doubtful starters. Olsen, Francis Back Doug Olsen has come back to take charge of the quarter backing duties along with Gordy Carrigan who can now be turned back to his end po sition. Eldon Francis made a surprise appearance last week and appears to have recov ered sufficiently. ' If Garner is unable to play, it may be a big blow to the Raider plans. Garner, an OCC all - star, plays an offensive guard spot and linebacker, on defense. Mullanix has been used mainly in. the. defensive unit. Four game, totals- in the statistics show that Al Barnes holds the rushing lead with 262 yards and a 6.1 play av erage. Barnes played with a partially sprained ankle last week in picking up '70 yards against the PSC Vikings. John Buck has 114, yards, Gordon Carrigan 98,, Doyle Brahsom 74 ana.ri.erm Bennett as.

Carrigan has nine for 122, Bransom five for 73 and Dave Hughes four for 41. Even though Buck has not played quarterback for two games, his 221 yards is still tops in passing. Carrigan has 176 and Olsen has 118 in his lone appearance. , Barnes and Bransom hold the scoring . lead with 18 points each. Tony Brauner has increased his punting av erage to 34.4 yards per boot. As a team, the Raiders have averaged 311.6 yards per game but the defense has al lowed 357.2 yards per con test. SOC has averaged 169.8 yards rushing and 141 yards in the air. SOC has a 48.3 per cent mark in passes completed with Carrigan the leader in hitting 12 of 20 attempts. Op ponents have hit on 45.9 per cent. ZEREX ; I! every time I go up to the plate there are two or three men on. .. "j Both those triples I hit Wednesday tame on high fast balls. This isn't my first World Series, of course, but I can honestly say hat I have never hit the ball so hard , in any, other Series even dur ing their regular season that I can remember. Maybe confidence has something to do with it. In such an important Series as this is-always does a great deal for your morale when you start off well. You get a hit or two right off the bat and things start looking up. . That's the way it .has been for me almost, since the start of this . Series. I don't intend to 'pop off about my. hitting now or -any ' other:-time, though. First of. all, there is still another game to go and second of all, I Tcnow that nobody is ever going to mis take me for Babe Ruth no matter how many' runs I drive in. Frankly, I'm' glad to be in the lineup. Believe me, I did not count on breaking any records, . : Expansion .
