Black Channel. The war's major bat tleground was a 20-sq.-mi. ghetto. Watts is the kind of community that cries out for urban renewal, poverty programs, job training. Almost anything would help. Two-thirds of its residents have less than a high school education; one-eighth of them are technically illiterate...
...Mele's new faces, he still builds his attack around an oldtimer, Harmon Killebrew, 29, a ham-armed slugger who has hit 288 home runs and is closing in on Babe Ruth's home-run rate: Ruth ticked off a homer for every 11.8 times at bat; Killebrew is rapping one for every 12.9.

A one time bat boy for the Los Angeles Dodgers, Righthander Lachemann, 20, has so far played almost exclusively against lefthanded pitchers, but he owns the highest batting average on the Athletics (.400), has hit two homers, driven in five runs...
