New York - (UPD - Baseball
statistics on the whole are an
icy yardstick of a player's
worth but, In their numerical
manner, they shout their
story of crushing frustration
or jubilant success.
Take the case of Jim Gen
tile of the Balimore Orioles.
As of Tuesday night's
games, those lines of figures
which denote baseball's daily
progress recited factually that
the Oriole first baseman was
leading the American league
in home runs with, 11, in runs
batted in with 37 and was hit
ting a fat .329 for 28 games.
They are a testimonial to
one man's successful battle
against pessimism and de
spair. A Chronic Worrier
Gentile, who pronounces
his name "gen-tell," is a
chronic worrier who spent
eight years in the minor
leagues. Just a year ago, after
several trips up with the
Dodgers, he was purchased by
the Orioles on a look-see
basis. At 26, with a wife and
three children to support, he
figured this was his last shot
at the major leagues.
Naturally, for a man of his
morose manner, he was so
tight and tense he couldn't
make his 6 foot, 4 inch body
function.
In 28 exhibition games
with the Orioles, Gentile did
not hit a home run, fumbled
throws at first base and saw
ground balls filter through
his rigidly clutching hands
with ever more alarming fre
quency. He batted .156 - fig
ures of frightful hitting frus
tration - and was certain that
he was to be sent back down
again.
"It was a nightmare I'll
never forget," he remembers.
"I couldn't hit the side of a
barn and if they had thrown
me a basketball I doubt if I'd
have caueht it.
Fails To Touch Base
"Finally," says Gentile, "I
got a hit, and you know what
happened then? I'm on second
base and somebody singles
and I should have scored the
winning run - but I was call
ed out for not touching third
base."

Yet, Paul Richards, the as
tute manager of the Orioles,
understood the paralyzing
burden the big man was
shouldering.
"He's pressing, but he can
win a game for you with one
swipe of his bat," Richards
insisted.
The tensions dissipated,
Gentile more than bore him
out. His first major league
home run at Washington
cleared the centerfield wall at
a spot reached before only by
Babe. Ruth, Ted Williams,
Mickey Mantle and Larry
Doby. At Detroit he pumped
one into the upper right field
deck, cleared only by Wil
liams and Mantle.
Enters Record Book
By -the all-star break, Gen
tile led the league with a .328
average and the failure of
spring training was picked on
the American league squad.
He finished the year at a less
er pace, 21 homers and a .292
batting . mark, but he had
established himself. ,
That big bat on which Rich
ards counted so heavily even
drove Gentile into the record
book a week ago in defiance
of tM . sophomore jinx.
Against Minnesota, he became
the first man in baseball his
tory to hit grand slam homers
on two successive times at
bat. Only three men, Tony
Lazzeri, Rudy York and Tim
Tabor, ever struck two such
in an entire game.
Gentile long has- had ,the
equipment but the most im
portant thing, his teammates
say, is ' that finally he has
proved himself - to himself.
Those cold, unrelenting
figures would seem to bear
them out." i

Spahn Attempts
To Break Jinx
Los Angeles - (UPD - Warren
Spahn, a winner of 20 or
more games for five straight
seasons, attempts a feat he
has never performed when he
goes after his first Coliseum
win for the Milwaukee Braves
tonight.
The veteran Brave south
paw was called on by man
ager Charlie Dressen in an ef
fort to break the jinx the Los
Angeles Dodgers and the Col
iseum have held for Spahn
despite his brilliant career
that includes a no-hitter this
season.
The Dodgers named their
erratic hurler, Stan Williams,
to oppose Spahn in the finale
in the three game series in
which the Braves hold two
wins.
Spahn has a 0-2 Coliseum
record and made no starts
here last year but beat the
Dodgers once this season at
Milwaukee and now - has a
4-2 record. Williams is 1-2.
