A year ago, the pennant-bound Twins were winning games with ninth-inning comebacks. Last night they fell a run short with two runs in the ninth inning. In 1965, the Twins ranked 32-16 after 48 games, 2y2 games in first place.

Today they rank 22-26 8'2 games back in sixth place. hem- a vMiWMism' 'ilmMMh McDowell 'Saves' Win for Indians Last season, the Athletics stood 17' games in last place with a 14-34 record. Now they are 19-29, 11 games in ninth place and only three behind the Twins. All of which illustrates three factors. Kansas City is stronger; the American League is stronger; the Twins are not as strong as in 1965.

For pitcher Fred Talbot of Kansas City, the 1966 season began anew last night, as he evened his record at 4-4, with ninth-inning relief from Jack Aker. 1 CLEVELAND, Ohio UP) Sam McDowell, making his first appearance in two weeks, cut I crartpn nut- thic cwcnn SSIjT UVMl k.llU kJMJVtl X- t. fp' ii i jT- rvSiv'V i ix jl -vi fcr' Ilk VClj i lS short a ninth-inning New York threat nesday night as Cleveland defeated the Yankees 2-1.

"Now I'm even again, and I hope I can put it on the plus side of .500 the rest of the season.

Last year Talbot rated 4-3 at this time and finished with a 10-12 mark. For the Twins' Jim Grant, it was his seventh loss in 11 decisions, a far cry from his 1965 figure of 5-1 at the same date. Grant won 21 games a year ago and proved to be a smash on the winter song-and-dance circuit. This season Jim may be forced to prove he can make it in the entertainment field with a losing record in baseball. The Mudcat left a nine- a sore arm, relieved starter Gary Bell after Mickey Mantle opened the ninth with a single.

The fireballing southpaw retired the next three batters on fly balls.

"I wasn't a-ware the negotiating committee had the authority to make this decision.

I thought the clubs would be consulted, that there would be more liaison between the committee and the teams. "On the surface everything looks all right. But some things are still a little vague and I'm not sure yet how our operation will be affected. "In 1970, when there are 26 teams, what league will we play in? How many games will we play? Will new divisions be composed of some old AFL and NFL teams? There still are many unanswered questions." After a day of golfing, coach Norm Van Brocklin returned to the office. "The high bonuses that were being paid out to untested rookies were unfair to- veteran players," he said.

George Strickler, sports editor of the Chicago Tribune, looked out and said, "We may never get out of here." Tom McNaliy, that paper's outdoors writer who had travelled the world as an angler and hunter, agreed. "It is time to put survival measures into effect," he said. "Our larder is running low. We are 175 miles from any human contact.

Let us avoid as long as possible the extremities to which the Donner covered wagon party went in the Rockies years ago; but the time may come when one of us must go." BERTS TOO TOUGH WE EYED ONE ANOTHER HUNGRILY. Would it be Bert McGrane of Des Moines, Iowa? He was too lean and tough. Would it be Rollie Johnson of WCCO-TV, plump and tender, but carrying some age? It couldn't be McNaliy. He was the most experienced in wilderness survival. His wisdom would be needed.

Nor could it be Carl Solum of Alexandria, Minn. He, too, was a seasoned wilderness hand. That left Strickler and me as expendable. McNaliy was about to put a fork into us before making his choice; but, at that moment, the fog lifted ever so slightly. He said, "I'll wait a while."
