...drive in 1,500 or more runs. Last week Ernie belted the 480th homer of his career (he is tenth on the list of alltime home-run hitters, just ahead of Stan Musial) and a double against the Los Angeles Dodgers to take over the league lead in RBIs...
Only Dorwart returns this year, but Coach Park can rely on a batting squadron led by captain John Ignacio. Ignacio was outstanding last season in his first year at first base. He hit .303, led the team with 17 RBIs, and had three home runs...
...Leftfielder Bob Allison, a lifetime 257 hitter is leading the league in batting with a .533 average and a slugging percentage of .933-28 total bases in 30 times at bat. First Baseman Harmon Killebrew's batting average is .392-he also has four home runs and nine RBIs Rightfielder Tony Oliva, obviously recovered from an off-season operation for bone chips in his right knee, can be expected to hit .300 for the season and the No. 7 man in the batting order, Centerfielder Ted Uhlaender is currently batting .333.

The real glory boy, though, was Righthander Nelson Briles, 24, until last week a journeyman speed-bailer with only four complete games all season. He allowed the Red Sox seven hits and two runs, but for nine long innings last week...
