AL A Two-Team Race
By VITO STELLINO
UPI Sports Writer
Gary Peters was looking
ahead to old age while Mickey
Lolich was looking ahead to
military reserve duty.
But they had one thing to
common Friday night — both
were equally successful on the
pitching mound in quest of their
fifth victories. And they kept
the American League pennant
chase a two way affair involv
ing Chicago and Detroit.
Peters’ seven-hitter gave the
White Sox a 9-1 triumph over
Kansas City while Lolich’s five
hitter handed the Tigers a 4-2
victory over New York.
Chicago now has a 20-8 record
BETWEEN YOU'N’ME
C H I C A G O—(N E A )—
Tommie Agee of the Chicago
White Sox is one of the few
players in the history of base
ball who has worried about a
base-running slump.
Hitting slumps, sure. But
running slumps?
“I had one last year,”
Tommie said. “A bad one
from the beginning of Au
gust until the middle of
September. If it hadn’t been
for that, I might have won
the stolen-base title.”
Tommie Agee was the
American League’s rookie of
the year in 1966. En route,
the 26-year-old outfielder led
the White Sox in hitting
(.273), in RBI (86), in total
bases (281), home runs (22).
triples (8), doubles (27) and
total hits (172).
Tommie had 44 steals,
seven behind team leader Don
Buford who had 51. That
statistic hurt.
‘‘Base stealing is something
of a lost art,” Tommie said.
“I enjoy the challenge of a.
steal. I get as big a kick out'
of setting up the pivotal run
with a steal as I do with a
hit.”
At the All-Star break last
July, Tommie had 27 stolen
bases. The title appeared to
be his.
A few weeks later came the
slump.
‘‘My timing was off,” Tom
mie said. “1 wasn’t getting
the jump on the pitchers.
Part of it was because I was
tired, really tired. And I
wasn’t getting on base as
much as usual.”
While Tommie had his
troubles, Buford and Bert
Campaneris of Kansas City
moved ahead, Campaneris
winning the title, 52-51. This
■ urday.
Coach Pierce said today that
• Ken Strickland, who shutout R.
E. Lee 5-0 in the 3-AAA tourna
i ment, would toe the rubber in
the first game.
Grady Pierce, who beat Ther
rell 1-0 with a masterful two
hitter, is scheduled to pitch the
second game.
PACING FAVORITE
WESTBURY, N.Y. (UPD—
Romeo Hanover has been
installed as the 2-5 favorite to
win the $91,664 Realization Pace
at Roosevelt Raceway tonight.
The 4-year-old champion, who
cost a mere $8,500 at the 1964
Harrisburg (Pa) sales, will be
going after the biggest jackpot
of his racing career.

that is the best in the majors
while Detroit is just 11-2 games
back at 19-10. The third place
team, Kansas City, is 61-2
games behind but the A’s are
just one game ahead of ninth
place Minnesota.
Variety Pitches
Peters, who’s 5-1 this season
now and holds a 13-4 lifetime
mark against the A’s, said he
was throwing “fastballs and
sliders with a few more sliders
than usual.”
He then added with a smile,
“and a few knuckleballs, too, I
guess it was kind of experience
for old age.”

Gives Tommie His Kicks

year, Tommie wants the
championship.
“I think Tommie is the
fastest guy in our league,”
said Elston Howard, the New
York Yankees’ catcher.
With the White Sox, Tom
mie will have every oppor
tunity to run. This is the only
team in baseball that can get
two hits, as it did against
Washington recently, and still
carry a game 11 innings.
The prime reasons, of
course, are Agee and Buford.
Every time they reach base,
pitchers and catchers get very
nervous.
“I’ve always been on my
own on the bases,” Tommie
said. “But last year was the
first time for Don. He can
really move, too.
“My best speed is from first
to third, not the plate to
first. I’ve never really had any
formal coaching base run
ning either. In fact, every
where I’ve been, they’ve said,
‘he’s a natural, let him go.’
“Eddie Stanky (White Sox
manager) has been very
patient with me. I’ve made a
•Tot of mistakes. Sometimes I
tried to steal when I shouldn’t
have been running and I know
that he was criticized.
“But he didn’t tell me to
slow down. He told me I
should keep running and that
I’ve got to expect to learn
from my mistakes.
“The whole key to base
stealing,” Tommie continued,
“is watching the pitcher’s
feet, not his shoulders and
head.
“I’m sure I spend as much
time studying the pitcher’s
styles as they spend watching
me at bat. Why not? They
stay up half the night trying
to figure ways of getting me
out. I try to figure ways to
steal on them.
