i 2 5 '-ifc 2E: Sept. li, 1963 ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH I Civ'. I I Gives Edge to Cardinals Ken Boyer, Two-League Vet, Sox, who lost their first 10 games, and cut him and his sizable salary adrift in early May. He might wind up last, too, though the Dodgers have played at a perky pace of late.

But the phlegmatic veteran won't let It faza him. "I've seen good managers finish last with bad ball clubs, and managers who weren't quite so good wind up well because they had the talent," he said, "and I've learned to accept By Bob Broeg Post-Dispatch Sports Editor Ken Boyer, who has seen both sides of the baseball rainbow and both major leagues, too, sounds almost like a fan when he talks about the expected World Series between the Cardinals and Detroit Tigers. "If the managers decide to match Gibson and McLain In the opener and thereafter, you'll really see some-Softrtc thing," said the long-time star Redbird third pOrT5 baseman, now a Los Angeles handyman after i a turn in the American League with the Chi- comment Cago white sox. "McLain can't overpower you the way Gib- Ift, "except that the Cardinals have more 1-2 speed at the top of the lineup (Lou Brock and Curt Flood)." But wouldn't Detroit have more power? The handsome, poker-faced athlete shook hla head. "Not in that hitting park of theirs," waa the ready response.

"I can see righthanded hitters like Cepeda and Shannon hitting the ball over their close fence in right-center, the way I finally learned to do the last few years at the old ball park." '64, '68 Clubs 'Essentially Same' Boyer, close to .300 for 11 power seasons with the Cardinals, was voted the National League's Most Valuable Player in 1964 when the Redbirds rallied to win the NL flag. That team was the only pennant winner for which he has played. The Cardinals' captain, who had hit two homers and batted .348 in eight All-Star games, homered twice in the series against the Yankees. Ken's grand-slam smash off lefthander A Downing overcame a three-run deficit and gave the Cardinals a 4-3 fourth-game victory in a series they won in seven. "I think of the '64 and '68 Cardinals as essentially the same In quality," he said, "except that some of the players who were then young now are more experienced." Boyer noted that Orlando Cepeda, Roger Maris and Dal Maxvlll had replaced Bill White, Dick Groat and himself in the lineup.

"I think we contributed as much as they did," he said. Ken saluted Mike Shannon, whose move from right field to third base filled a void and opened a place for Maris. "I expected Mike to have more trouble adjusting because it's more difficult for an outfielder to move to the infield than an infielder to the outfield," said the man who played center field in the Cardinals' near-miss In 1957. "Mike proved what a good natural athlete can do," Boyer said in evaluation of Shannon as a third baseman. "He has done some job over there." For a more decisive edge in a posltlon-by-positlon rundown with Detroit, Ken put hti finger en shortstop.

"I'd take Maxvlll over any one of two or three the Tigers might use," he said, "but it'll still be an Interesting Series-mighty Interesting especially if MoLaln and Gibson go at it." 'Philosophy ana the Future Boyer, 37 years old and witSi a Ford agency in Hermann, might have been considered ready to pack it in, but he was hitting .281 In part-time play for the Dodgers even before he opened LA's eight-run inning Monday night with a double off Larry Jaster. "I'd like to play again," he said, "Anyone who couldn't play for Walter Alston isn't trying." Indications are that the Dodgers will put Boyer on their coaching staff before the expansion draft and then, if necessary, move him back onto the player list and let him work with their young hitters. r' Ken's wife, Kathy, and their four children enjoyed their first summer together since they left the Cardinals after the 1965 season. Sons David, 13, and Danny, 9, in particular, like the chance to work out daily with the Dodgers as well as swim in the pool of the house the Boyers rented from Cleveland's Stan Williams in Long Beach, Calif. The two Boyers, befitting a family that has sent seven brothers into professional baseball and three into the big leagues, have demonstrated strength and skill in sports, their famous father said with an attempt to keep his pride from showing.

Out at Hermann, they've got their own lake and, in keeping with a family tradition, they'll probably wind up with their own ball field, too. i Ken began the season In last place with the Chicago White "Take my first big league manager, Eddie Stanky, for1 instance. I rejoined him at Chicago last year and saw him do a remarkable job with the White Sox, a terrible hitting ball club. He got peak pitching, kept the Infield grass long and wet for guys like Ron Hansen, Wayne Causey and me, and we were lucky, We almost won the pennant. "So they expected too much this year, and you saw what happened.

Eddie had learned to delegate authority more to his coaches than he did back there in 1955 when I came up. Sure, he still didn't handle men well, but he's sharp, an excellent tactician" Boyer smiled "and shrewd enough to get himself a four-year con- i tract. "So they I him and now they're paying a smart manager not (o manage." son does," said Boyer, "but he's a gutty guy, a great competitor with good command of his breaking pitches." Boyer paid the compliment supreme to Gibson and at a time when he was sitting next to present Dodger roommate Don Drysdale, who earlier this year set a major league record with 58 consecutive scoreless innings. "I've seen some great ones, including Don here and Koufax, Spahn, Roberts and Mari-chal," Ken said, "but Gibson this year, even if he had won only 15 games, would have had to be the greatest for one season because of his remarkable earned-run average. Broeg "And with due respect to Koufax, Drysdale and Marichal, they haven't had to pitch In the heat the way Glbby has.

I've seen them come in to St. Louis in hot weather and pull their cork in five or six Innings. Gibson's stamina is incredible." Boyer would pick the Cardinals over the Tigers, but not without reservation. "I'd say the ball clubs are pretty much alike," he said, Ken Boyer How They Stand 16 Strikeouts for Astro Pitcher NATIONAL LEAGUE Wilson Tunes Out Reds Yar on the Move: Now Hitting .294 OAKLAND, Sept.
