Secret To Pirate Success Concerted Team Effort day: I rested Virdon because he had a pulled leg muscle and I put ia Joe Christopher, a rookie. Christopher hit the three-run how er in the second game which enabled us to forge a tie and then won. "As for predicting a pennant, I'm no predictor but you can say we're going to give it a reat run." Vernon Law (15-5) and Bob has alternated with Virdon and helped out because Bob Clement was temporarily sidelined. Shortstop Dick Groat, the team captain, already is being mentioned for player of the year honors. He took a leading part in the Pirates' 4-1 and 7-5 victories over the Giants Sunday.

"There's no question we are haing a roncentrated team effort." Murtaugh said. "Take Sun- and sweep four from San Fran cisco. Pirate fans, and Murtaugh. can go on right down the line pointing out how every player in the lineup has been coming through with crucial hits or outstanding defensive plays. Center fielder Bill Virdon has been dazzling in the past few weeks.

Then there's Gino Cimoli, who hss Rocky Nelson, who has alternated with Stuart at first. Or take second baseman Bill Mareroski. He's around the .250 mark but his fielding has continued to make the Pirate defense one of the best in the majors. And, in the last week, he's blasted hits which helped the Pirates win two of three from Los Angeles it a concerted team effort." And Danny sued it up pretty well. The Priates, riding the crest of a five-game winning skein, have come up with just about a different star a game as they have compiled a 63-40 record.

Dick Stuart, who had 27 homers last year, has only 13 thus far. But come through with some key game-winning hits. So PITTSBURGH (AP) What is the big reason the Pittsburgh Pirates hold a o-game first-place lead and seem almost a sure shot for their first National League pennant since 1927? Manager Danny Murtaugh. relaxing on an off day, chewed hard on a mouthful of tobacco Monday and replied: "Veil, I guess you have to call Friend (12 8) are the pitching aces, but Vinegar Bend Mucll (7-2) will carry a streak of 2S consecutive scoreless innings into tonight's game against Chicago. And of course, there is Roy Face, the ace relief pitcher.

For the statistically minded: The Pirates have won nine of their 12 extra inning games. They have won 23 games by coming from behind in the sixth inning or later. They have not lost more than four in a row. They have had winning streaks' of 9. I and 5 games three times for the latter.
