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.

Killebrew, the one-two home

first inning of Wednesday's
game to become the first play
ers in history to hit bases
loaded homers in the same
Inning. The Twins went on to

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

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
