There were also 12 members of the clans Dahl and Hawkinson. These folks were there courtesy of Lee Stange, who wooed and wed Diane Dahl three years ago when he played for the Twins. "We're gonna sit around and talk and have a little party afterward," Stange said before the game. "After all, I haven't seen any of them since we left for Spring training." Lee was hoping that he could start the party off right by beating the Twins.

That was the date, last, on which Frank of Baltimore's "Swiss Family Robinson" unaccountably passed from one league to the other.

For most of the kids there is this: good luck to you and the broken glass, from Boston and its Park Dept. Here is the joke of our time and our town: people saying that Boston won't be big league unless it gets a new stadium. Being big league has nothing to do with teams and stadia.

That is surface glitter. It doesn't matter where a town's professional athletes play. It matters a great deal how and where the town's children play. Especially the ones who have nothing. While others talk of the surface glitter of a stadium, I wonder about that glass glittering under the feet of the kids in the ghetto.

Boston can never be big league while it cheats these kids. COLLINS Continued from Page 1 Some of them do. A pretty 9-year-old named Pamela Perry has an 8-stitch cut on her leg from gamboling in a small playground between Dunreath and Copeland sts. It could be a nifty little park. There are trees and large boulders to climb on and three swings.

That's about it. But there are also two unusable tennis courts rare items in Boston that could be rehabilitated. With care and supervised play, it could be very nice. Instead it is the typical patch of frustration for the neighborhood. "You coming to fix up the park?" shouted Pamela to a visitor Monday.

No. Just a newspaperman. "Well, you write that Pamela Perry want a swimming pool, and so do her friends." From a porch across the street came a voice, knowing and cynical: "Don't get your hopes up, you kids!" Eustis st. playground does have a wading pool. Coming across one of these in Roxbury is like having a beer tap in solitary confinement.

It could be an oasis, but it lies forlorn, dirty, empty forbidding with the usual jagged collection of glass and tin cans. There are plenty of playgrounds. All they need is care and supervision.

Hank Gowdy, the hero of the 1914 miracle Braves World Series victory and the first major league baseball player to serve in the armed forces in World War died Monday night after a long illness. He was 76 years old. A gangling, 190-pound catcher in his prime, 'Gowdy batted .545 with three doubles, a homer and a triple among his six hits to lead the Braves to a four-game sweep of the supposedly invincible Philadelphia Athletics in the World Series. Gowdy's .545 still stands as the record for a National League player in World Series competition. The 1914 "Miracle Boston Braves," managed by George Stallins, were in last place on July 4 but closed with a rush to win the pennant.

HANK GOWDY Gowdy batted .243 in 123 games for the Braves that season and played a key role in the Braves' drive to the pennant during the second half of the season. In addition to the Braves, he played for ths HANK GOWDY Fage 21 Kirouac, DeCollibus Top C.Y.O. Qualifiers By TOM FITZGERALD Soorti Rpporter CANTON Almost inevitably, the name of Bobby Kirouac found its place at the top of the scoreboard in Monday's first session of qualifying in the 27th C.Y.O. championships. i I'Vll i JtM, i Robinson was the other league's MVP in '61 with Cincinnati.

The only reason he didn't make it back-to-back in '62 was that Maury Wills stole 104 bases for a glamor record. The only thing Robinson didn't do that season was out-filch Maury. He got as many hits (208), scored more runs, batted 45 points higher, drove in 88 more runs and hit 33 more homers. Looking at it from that perspective, the National League still owes Robinson a MVP award. Bill DeWitt's inter-league unloading of a MVP last Winter is beginning to zoom him right up there with George Weiss of the Yankees, who traded off Joe Gordon five seasons after Joe made MVP.

Gordon very promptly was instrumental in Cleveland's 1948 derailment of a Yankee pennant streak. Of course, that was all in the A.L. family. The Robinson affair, like that of Hank Borowy in '45, cuts across family lines into the other league. At the moment the Robinson deal is filed under the A's (Aiding and Abetting the Enemy) in the N.L.

Should Robinson abscond with the A.L.'s Triple Crown and MVP awards, while pacing a pennant winner. DeWitt can hurl his hat into the Baltimore mayoralty race.

He'd win like Buckmaster vs. a field of Percherons. Robinson is going to dob more homers this season than he ever did in his N.L. lifetime (39). It is an interesting, if not necessarily joyous recollection, that he hoisted No.
