"But everyone just kept plugging away, and I guess that's what this game is all about." As it turned out, Hunter picked up steam as he went along, facing only one serious challenge over the next five innings when the Mets loaded the bases in the fourth, He survived that threat by getting Staub to ground out.

'The way I was going," said Hunter, "I might have finished the game if we would have been using the designated hitter rule. But and tomorrow in the best-of-seven Series, they will clinch their second straight world title. With the A's leading the Series two victories to one, Ken Holtzman will face New York's Jon Matlack tonight (7:40 p.m. Minneapolis time). Vida Blue will face Jerry Koosman tomorrow night.

So, with his dad, a few friends, and a couple of policemen from the neighboring county giving the Catfish their full attention, Hunter served up a home run to New York's Wayne Garrett on his second pitch. When Felix Millanthen singled to left, and Rusty Staub followed in like fashion, Hunter started to worry.

"When I unloaded that -wild pitch (allowing Mil-Ian to score from third), I figured my chances of seeing the end of that inning were slim at best," Hunter said. An out later, when Hunter failed to handle John Milner's bunt attempt, well, the situation looked bad for the A's and worse for Hunter.

Suddenly, Jim (Catfish) Hunter looked like anyone but Jim (Catfish) Hunter. "I can't understand it," said the Oakland right-hand pitcher following last night's 11 -inning 3-2 baseball World Series victory over the Mets. "The weather was a little chilly, so I felt right at home.

It's always like this, in Oakland. And I thought the crowd was great. "But it never seems to fail." Everytime someone from Hartford (his home team) shows up to see me opposite direction. Some people might panic if they were pressed. "But on this club, yes, it's fair to say we're all pretty selfish.

When you come right down to it, No. 1 (yourself) comes first. And Mr. Finley," he said, "makes all of us think a little harder about No. 1 than we might normally care too." We proved what we can do despite the front office." The text of Bando's comments, after last night's 3-2 A's victory in the World Series, deals with the curiously controversial case of Mike Andrews, a little used A's in-fielder "fired" by Finley three days ago and reinstated by Commissioner Bowie Kuhn yesterday.

The A's owner had briefly relegated Andrews to the disabled list by getting the player to sign a statement saying he was1 hurt. Now Andrews strikes back by saying, "The only reason I signed that statement was because he (Finley) threatened to destroy me in baseball and end my career unless I did." Andrews was expected to be in uniform for tonight's fourth game of the Series (7:40 p.m., Minneapolis time) and further elaborate to his teammates on what happened between him and Finley.

Worsley THE MINNEAPOLIS STAR Oct. 17, 1973 j) Gordon 1974 CARS FA 1 By BOB FOWLER Minneapolis Star Staff Writer This was at a North Stars' practice session. At one end of the rink a group of players, wearing a various assortment of uniforms, was practicing a various assortment of shots at goalie Gump Worsley. Another group at the opposite end was won every time on no-mt-ters. The vassals possibly had the first no-cut contracts.

It was considered a privilege for them to work a lifetime for the benefit of a lord, receiving little else The North Stars haven't capitalized on their schedule, either, and that concerns Gordon. Two of their first three games were at the Sports Center, and they lost both. Their lone point came on a tie Sunday night in Chicago. "You have to win at home, because it's so tough to win on the road," Gordon said. "Last season we cut our home losses to eight.

Now, we've already lost two." In an attempt to make the offense more productive, Gordon will keep Lou Nanne on the line with Fred Stan-field and Dean Prentice. Yet, the coach discounts such strategy. working on power plays, competing against three defenders after working against air. Obviously, Coach Jack Gordon is concerned about his team's offense, or lack of it. Entering tonight's event (8 p.m.) at the Metropolitan Sports Center against Pittsburgh, the North Stars have managed six goals in three games.

And that's one reason why they're still seeking their first victory. Bando, to make a player realize what a selfish game baseball can be.

"You get into trouble when the puck is in your end all the time. "A lot of it has to do with skating and checking. You still have to rely on the fundamentals.

If you don't, you can't keep the puck at the other end; you can't force the other club to make mistakes so you can capitalize." A's CHAN KEITH 4 -A I I at The Series for The Star 4 'A sioner Kuhn seemed to side with that sentiment when he noted "there is no suggestion that his (Andrews) condition has changed or worsened Series began or that he has been injured in the Series. The fact that he was used in game two by Oakland would appear to indicate the contrary." Kuhn then said that he was personally reinstating Andrews to World Series status and added that, "the handling of this matter by Oakland has had the unfortunate effect of unfairly embarrassing a pi a who has given many years of able service to professional baseball." Andrews may take some comfort upon his return to realize his absence has served a worthwhile purpose. "Things like that," says Bando, "seem to motivate us (the A's) all the more. Like I say, I guess it makes us more selfish. "I hate a 's happened, but I guess some good can come from most anything." Reggie Jackson had much the same thinking when he said, "Everytime we have an incident like this, we win.

I think we all pull a little harder. I don't think Finley did it to get that result. He did it because he wants to be a hero that's all." That was not a striking record for a college that for many years had attracted good football players. St. Thomas is the only Catholic college in the Twin Cities area.

St. John's is the closest at Collegeville, ap-proximately 70 miles away. Of the 80 players on its squad roster, 52 arc from high schools In the Twin Cities area. Of those 52, 15 are from one of the Catholic high schools in the Twin Cities metropolitan area. Now Deitz has the Tommies on an eight-game winning streak, undefeated this season and within range of the MIAC football championship.

But it did not come fast or easy. During the first 'three years that Deitz was at than a bond of loyalty. Finley's various actions, starting with his purchase of the A's club in Kansas City, indicate an extreme feudal attitude in baseball, which had plenty of feudal aspects already with the reserve clause in the players contracts. Finley' has distorted the use of that reserve clause. Andrews made two errors in the second World Series game which Oakland lost.

Finley, invoking the divine right of kings, immediately found an excuse to strip the Oakland uniform off Andrews and cashier him from service. The excuse: A disabled shoulder. The method: An alleged threat Andrews would be "destroyed" in baseball if he didn't sign he was disabled. No one has the right to destroy the dignity of a man. Fortunately Bowie Kuhn, commissioner of baseball, found strength to reject Finley's obvious maneuver to get a replacement for Andrews.

The Andrews case, as it possibly will be referred to in the future, places baseball in the position of determining how much the action of one owner can affect the sport in general. Finley revels in headlines. He soon became disenchanted as owner in Kansas City. In an argument over lease terms threatened to have his boys play ball in a cow pasture rather than surrender. He won that skirmish.
