AL Preview
The only problem with the
greatest pennant race ine
American League ever had,
is that there is no way we
can hope for that kind of
thrill again.
The AL has come up with
a trinle crown winner in eacn
of the last two years, and
each time it nas resuitea in
a pennasit for that star's
team.
This year, the odds are
against another triple crown
winner, a repeat by the Bos
ton Red Sox, and another ex
citing race in the Junior Cir
cuit. Taking a chance on the out
come of the American Lea
gue pennant race:
Twins Ripe
h MINNESOTA TWIXS
The Twins have had an eye
on the AL flag ever since
winning it in '65, with then
hopes being snuffed out last
year, only on the final day
of the season.
Minnesota traded away two
of the top stars of the 1965
championship club in short
stop Zoilo Versalles and
pitcher Jim Grant, but Har
mon KiHebrew still heads the
league's top slugging club
and the pitching staff should
be one of the best in the
league with Bob Miller and
Ron Perranoskl strengthen
ing the bullpen.
- John Roseboro, who came
to the Twins from the Dod
gers along with Miller and
Perranoskl, fills the hole left
by ratcher Earl Battey, who
retired.
If manager Cal Ermer can
keep the Twins from quar
reling among themselves this
year, Minnesota could be
ripe for another pennant
Bridesmaid Again
Z. DETROIT TIGERS The
Tigers win be trying to win I
It ail after finishing third in
'66 and in a tie for second
with Minnesota last year.
In 1967 the Bengals finally
began to click with Al Ka
tes looking more like his old
self, Bill Freehan emerging
as the best shortstop in the
league and Willie .Horton
proving effective even though
missing 40 games with a
chronic heel injury.
Pitching, too, came of age
last season with Mickey
Lolich finishing 9-3 in the
second half of the season,
Earl Wilson winning 22
games, Deauy McLain 17 and
Joe Sparma 16.
The Tigers should make
another strong bid this year,
but batting comebacks must
be made by third baseman
Don Wert (.257), Dick Mc-
Auliffe (.239) and first base
man Norm Cash (.242).
Orioles Climb Back
i. BALITMORE ORIOLES
The Orioles fell all the
way to a tie for sixth last
year after running away with
the AL pennant in 1966.
For manager Hank Bauer,
1967 was a year of holocaust.
His fine young pitchers all
came down with sore arms,
his triple crown winner,
Frank Robinson, missed al
most a month due to a freak
injury along with Al Weis,
who was sidelined for the
season. Add slumps by
Brooks Robinson, Boog
Powell, Luis Aparicio, Dave
Johnson, Curt Blefary and
Andy Etchebarren and you
come up with a club which
can't even hold its own in
sixth place. Aparicio was
put on the auctioning block
and wound up in Chicago.
But this season everyone
is healthy again in Birdland
and all should be trying to
make up for their poor per
formances of '67.
Same Old Problem
4. CHICAGO WHITE SOX
The Chisox challenged for
the pennant last year, but
ran out of steam when it
counted. J
Chicago still has front line
pitching in Joe Horlen, Gary !
Peters and Tommy John
along with a strong bullpen
led by veteran Hoyt Wilhelm,
but the same old problem of
scoring runs still prevails.
Nobody wins scoreless ties
any more.
Tommy Davis' addition
gives the White Sox a big
hitter for the first time in
years, but he can't do it by
himself.
Long Plunge
5. BOSTON RED SOX
"God Isn't Dead; he's play
ing left field," was the sign
carried by Boston Red Sox
fans during the stretch drive
that carried the club to the
AL pennant.
The sign, of course, refer
red to Boston's triple crown
winner Carl Yastrzemski, but
this year Yaz and pitcher
Jim Lonborg won't find
themselves the object of the
fans affection,
Yastrzemski and Lonborg
the AL Cy Young award win
ner, won t be able to match
their 1967 performances and
neither will the Red Sox as
a team.
Spoilers Role
S. CALIFORNIA ANGELS
The Ancels were an Ameri
can Leaeue novelty when
thev challenged for the pen
nant only one year after
being created by expansion,
but have now settled down
to being just a good team
trying to improve.
Last year the result was
spoiler's role and it could
be the same in 1968.

The Angels have a solid
infield, a steady pitching
staff and a future star in
Rich Reichardt, but lack an
effective leadoff man. Trades
brought in pitcher Sammy
Ellis and outfielder-infielder
Chuck Hinton, but California
still doesn't have a bona fide
contender.
Depth Lacking

TORS The Nats return
Frank Howard, Ken McMul

Ron Hansen joins the club,
but manager Gil Hodges now

National League. i
Hodges' replacement, Jim
Lemon, may not be able to

year's tie for sixth, but he
won't lose much ground ei
ther. New Site, Standing
8. OAKLAND ATHLETICS
The Kans , . . uh, Oakland
Athletics have a star for a
change in Joe DiMaggio, a
serious man, who as general
manager, may not be able
to hit safely in 56 consecu
tive games any more, but
might be able to instill some
of his seriousness in the rest
of the A's.
Charles Owner Finley also
has a new site for his club
and a new manager in Bob
Kennedy (no relation) and
the combination could bring
the A's a new place in the
standings.
After all, Oakland is Just
across the bridge from San
Francisco, and San Francis
co is a very inspirational
city.
Not Yanks Year

The Yankees were once
the most feared team in the
American League, but then

Of course, CBS couldn't do

Long Way Up
10. CLEVELAND INDIANS
The Tribe broke a string of
three straight fifth-place fin
ishes last year, slinking back
to the teepee in eighth place.
Alvin Dark moves in as
manager and Sam McDow
ell is certainly better than
a 13-15 pitcher.
But, although last year's
finish was enough of a shock
for Cleveland fans, this year
should be even worse.
Not Much Action
In general, it doesn't ap
pear likely that there will be
much action in the American
League this year ... at
least not the 1967 kind.
Minnesota and Detroit will
battle for first, at least until
the Fourth of July, but the
fighting will be wilder in de
ciding which teams will man
age to escape the cellar.

THE SHUTTERED ROOM"
Dear Mr. GaMn:
I find that I must echo the wefl-worn and often revived criticism
that business Is basically un-intellectual. I agree with your analysis
that business needs the bright young graduate and I am sure
business will get a large number but whether these persons arc
intellectuals or not is another matter. ,
I would define an intellectual as a connoisseur of knowledge and
learning. Such a person may be an artist or a musician or a
scientist but no label is really necessary. A businessman can
certainly be an intellectual but that doesn't guarantee his being
a good businessman. In fact, the impression one gets is that a
businessman is most likely to be an intellectual in his off-hours.
To me, a businessman concerns himself mostiy with the machinery
of his enterprise; be it anticipating, synthesizing, correlating,
strategizing, organizing, recruiting, competing, buying, or selling.
He is not particularly interested in abstract thought or contem
plation of form as a means to performing his Job. His endeavor Is
dominated by myriad practical considerations the most pressing
of which is time. A purely intellectual pursuit, however, has little
relation to practicality and it may well consume a lifetime. The
businessman, of course, may be an artist, a historian, or a theorist
in his off-time, but this must be his second life. - -
Certain vocations are more intellectually bent than others. The
fact that It is not only feasible, but now becoming downright
attractive, to spend one's life engaged in intellectual pursuits, has
made a huge impression on undergraduates particularly the most
successful ones. 1 agree with you that young men of exceptional
ability are needed in business as they are in almost any field
A STUDENT SPEAKS OUT ON
but those of a decidedly Intellectual leaning would probably find
a happier home in the academia. Figures from the Office of
Education, Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, indicate
that by 1970 there will be 480,000 college and university teachers
and an estimated 7,000,000 students in the United States. We are
in the middle of a revolution in learning and the prospects of
participating in this revolution are exciting.
The academic-world and the business world, formerly at each
other's throats, are now working much more closely together.
Although this new interface is now largely in the areas of applied
mathematics and science, the other university departments are
benefiting from business' interest The academic world does,
however, run the risk of embracing too closely the goals of business
and the government as a result of monetary influence. The
academic world should, I think, continue to serve as a check
on these other interests just as the Senate serves as a check
on the House of Representatives. Thus, I would not encourage
young intellectuals to seek a career in business, any more than
I would want a staff of businessmen to handle the academic affairs
of a university. In fact I suspect that business would be better
off without the intellectuals, in any case 1
Sincerely,
