Pirates Want To Win MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON THURSDAY, JULY 19. 1962 By MILTON R1CHMAN New York-IUPD-Never mind the store, who's keeping an eye on the surprising Pitts burgh Pirates? Someone had better be cause they have won 17 of their last 21 games and sud denly they're looking like the same club that swept to a world championship in 1960. "We are the same club, only better," points out Capt. Dick Groat. "Every regular on our club now was with us when we beat the Yankees in 1960," he said. "It's practically the same club. Alvin McBean, Earl Francis and Diomedes Olivo are the three big addi tions and each one of them has been outstanding." Croat picked the Pirates to win in 1960 before the sea son started and he feels the club is capable of winning again this year. Team's Starting To Jell "It's not that we don't re spect the Dodgers and Giants," said the veteran Pittsburgh shortstop. "But we've started to jell now and I everyone on this ball club I feels we're capable of win I nine "This isn't what you would call any kind of lucky streak," he went on. "We've had our share of tough breaks this season. "We won 10 in a row at the start of the season, then came up without a catcher. Smokey Burgess pulled a muscle in his side right after that winning streak and was out for two weeks and then Don Leppert banged up his finger and was out a while." Pittsburgh's two hottest op eratives in the last month have been left fielder Bob Skinner, hitting a cool .328, and Roberto Clemcnte, lead ing both major leagues with a .349. More than anything else, the Pirates as a team believe in themselves. "We thought we could win before the season even start ed," Groat explained. "That fine start we had made us even more confident and now that we've come this far, we are not cocky but we feel we are capable of doing it." Dodgers Chief Threat The Pirates feel their chief threat will come from the Dodgers. "They have the kind of speed that's 1 n c r e d i b 1 e," Groat said. "1 think they've scored five or six runs against us without a hit, just on their speed alone. That may not sound like much but it adds up in the win column. "The Dodgers don't give anything away." Neither do the Pirates. Remember the rallying cry in '60 "Beat 'em Bucs!" That could be the story all over again this year. The Pirates have been idle since Monday. Their double header with the Mets was rained out Wednesday but the two clubs try again with a twi-nighter tonight.

Hits Fast Ball Allison said he hit a fast ball off Cleveland starter Barry Latman for his slam. "I hit the ball well," he said. "I've been trying a new stance. When you're not hit ting, you try anything." Allison has now hit five grand slams in his career and Killebrew has three. Both of the Minnesota slug gers have shown signs of bust ing wide open recently. Killebrew is on his hottest hitting streak of the season. He has hit in seven straight games and has knocked in 21 runs during that period. The Idaho strongboy has also seven homers and has 12 hits in 26 trips to the plate dur ing that period. The transplanted left field er claimed he tied into a Jim Perry slider for his grand slam. Killebrew, who also con nected for a solo homer off Perry in the third, said he couldn't explain his sudden surge at the plate. "I'm a streak hitter," he said. "I guess everyone is. Some of the balls I was pop ping up, I'm now hitting out of the park. I don t think I can keep hitting homers at this pace, but I hope I can just keep getting hits." Allison, after a very slow start now has 11 homers and 46 runs batted in to Kille brew's 24 homers and 68 RBI's.
