I'd just like to keep playing this way until September and then go up against Oakland." Melton took a somewhat less rosy and perhaps more realistic view of the situation. "I've been very pleased with the way things are going the last five weeks, but I'd like to get on base a little more," he said. "We win five out of six and sa does Oak-land. "I guess it goes down to the 11 games we have left with them." AS RIGHT as everything Is with the Sox these days, it must be noted that they're up against a totally snake-bitten foe.

The Tigers have lost nine, of 10 games and, like all skidding teams, they're being snubbed by Lady Luck. The robbery perpetrated on Al Kaline by Melton in the ninth inning last night was a perfect example. The perennial Detroit star bounced a sure double over third, which would have been career "hit No. 2,949, in the park where he got his first rnajor league safety off Luis Aloma of the Sox way back on July 8, 1953. Instead, Melton made an incredible leap to spear the hopper and throw Kaline out.

Still, Kaline is determined to become the 12th man in major league history to join the club before this season ends. "This is definitely my last season if I make it," the veteran said. "If not, I'll come back, but 21 years in the majors is enough. ij "I've been very lucky to keep my sanity. There's so much idle time to kill between games that you find yourself sitting around, thinking what you did or didn't do to help the club.

"At least that's the kind of mind I have. I worry about going bad and blame myself if we don't win." KALINE freely admits he wouldn't get a shot at 3,000 without the American League's designated hitter rule. That's his role now after a long career as one of the best outfielders around, and he accepts it. "I'm not swinging for pow--er anymore, except in certain situations," the friendly Tiger confessed. "I still get my base hits and physically I could play a few more seasons.

"The question Is what to do afterwards. Baseball has been my whole life and I'll probably stay away for a year to see if I can get along without it. If not, I'd like a job scouting or something like that for the Tigers. 1 "MY BIGGEST asset to the organization would be spotting talent for them. I know some people think good players don't make good judges of talent because everything came easily to them, but that wasn't the case with me.

"There's no doubt about the highlight of all those seasons. It was 1968, when we came from behind to win both the pennant and the World Series. "It was a happy year." Bulls sign No. 3 draft pick Wilson The Chicago Bulls signed two more draftees today, Bob Wilson and James Forbes, to boost their player roster to 13. Forbes, who played on the 1972 U.

S. Olympic Team, started for three years at Texas-El Paso, but was hampered by a knee injury the list two seasons. Bulls Coach Dick Motta said he could be the "biggest sleeper of the draft" if he could regain his sophomore form. Forbes, who also played on the U. S.

Pan-American Team, was the Miners third leading scorer and top re-bounder last season. Wilson led Wichita State in scoring for two seasons and had a .530 shooting percentage. He played two years at Northeastern Junior College. Intrepid tops Courageous in cup trials NEWPORT, R.
