If so, the Dodger daredevils will find a rea: toughie in Ford, who can handle base runners as well as any pitcher in baseball. Downing and right- hander Jim Boulon, Manager Ralph Houk's olher Series starlet are better than average in kecplna runners glued to the bases. The prospect of batting against left-handers in a majority of the games is pleasing to Howard, ever if these left-handers are named Kou fax, Podres and Ron Ferra- noski. The 34-year-old catcher is hit ting .288 against all kinds of pitching but is around .340 against southpaws.

Two of his five World Series home runs were hit off Warren Spahn and Jim O'Toole, two of the National League's bel- ter left-handers. The Dodgers may be without the services of their young third baseman. Ken McMullen for the Series opener. The 21-year-old rookie pulled a hamstring in his left leg last Thursday. If McMullen can hot play, Alston will move Jim Gilliam, his veteran all-purpose infielder, to third and play Dick Traceweski, another youngster at second.
