Well, one Marine anyway.
Back In 1945 and 1946, the
Brooklyn, Dodgers heat the
Philadelphia Phils at home 18
straight times. That ignomini
ous record stood alone until the
first game of a Sunday double
header here when the Atlanta
Braves beat the Mets 5-2.
That was the Braves 18th
straight home win over the
Mets, dating back to 1964 and
their Milwaukee days, and there
was still the nightcap to go.
That’s where tne Marine
came to the rescue. He was

year - old lefthander who just
completed a six - month hitch

‘WHERE THE CUSTOMER COUNTS”

Late Arrival
Despite being a late arrival
at the Mets spring camo and
despite the fact that ha had
worked only 1 and one • third
innings since the season began,
Mets manager Wes Westrum
threw young McGraw into the
gap.
He came through in the fin
est tradition of th e Corps, giv
ing up only four hits, including
a pair of solo home runs, be
fore being relieved to the eighth
inning. The Mets won 4-3,
ending a five • game losing
streak, a six - game Braves’
winning streak — and that
threat of becoming the first
team to lose 19 in a row to
another club on the road.
Westrum, who had had little
to smile about, was all beams
while talking about McGraw.
“Tve sure got a good 'un. He’s
gonna get into the rotation.”
The big crowd of more than
43,000 at Atlanta Stadium was
caught by surprise when West
rum sent reliefer Larry Bear
narth out to pitch in the bot
tom of the eighth since McGraw
had appeared to have the situa
tion well in hand.
Seemed Tired
“He seemed a little tired,”
Westrum explained. "I didn't
want to hurt him. After all, I
bad only hoped he'd go five or
six innings. That was our plan.”
McGraw reluctantly con
curred. "Sure I was tired, but
I didn’t want to admit it. My
curve ball was hanging high,
and that’s a sign. I had to de
pend on my fast ball and use
my curve for a change of
games behind co • leading
burgh mi San Francisco, were
in s hurry to get out of town.
They play the Giants this af
ternoon in San Francisco.
The Mets had a little more
time to savour their victory.
Their next game is Tuesday af
ternoon in Chicago.
Wade Blastogame aided his
own cause in Sunday’s first
game with a two - run single
In a three - run second inning
Braves' outburst. He wa« re
lieved by Billy O'Dell when he
tired in the seventh.
“Wade’s not ready to go the
route yet,” said Braves man
ager Bobby Bragan. "Remem
ber, he was hurt in the spring
and he’s a bit behind schedule.”
As for that record of 18
straight home wins over the
Mets, Bragan said:
"That’s a lot of games. But
don’t kid yourself, the Mets
aren’t that bad. They’re going
to hurt some clubs this season.
I’m Just glad they couldn’t use
(injured) Dick Stuart’s bat
against us this trip.”
Sunday’s paid attendance was
40,477. Thus the Brave* have
drawn 139,078 in five home
dates — an average of 27,816
per and if they maintain that
pace they would draw two mil
lion to their first year in the
South.

speed. That’s no good since my
curve is usually a fast-breaking
pitch.”
McGraw, 2-7 with the Mets
in his first season in the ma
jors last year, said he didn't
think he’d last three innings.
“My arm felt tired all day but
it was all in my head, I guess.
Next time I’m going to go
nine.”
Felipe Alou and Denis Menke
had the homers off McGraw.
Alou added another, his third
of the season, off Beamartb.
McGraw said Alou hit a "ter
rible” pitch. "It stayed high.”
He said Menke hit a deliber
ately placed low pitch "but 1
understand now he’s a low ball 1
hitter.”
