' vse meee = a ee, ome BASE THIEVES MEET -- Maury Wills, Versalles Will Try To Steal Show MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- The billing for ihe ivod Worid Series could very well read Maury Wills vs. Zoilo Versalles, For as Los Angeles Dodgers and Minnesota Twins met in the first game today, the most in- teresting match-up involved the two shortstops--both base-steal- ing threats and both leading candidates for most valuable player awards, And despite the short time in which to study opposing pitch- ers, both said they were ready to start sliding into second base. "It really only takes a min- ute to learn about a pitcher," said Wills, 'I can look at a guy --the way he walks, how much agility he has--and tell about him. There's no secret about how I steal or take the lead. The big thing 'is doing it." What about playing against Versalles? Did Wills, who stole 94 bases, fee! he had to put on a display of his base-stcaling? "I'm not saving anything--I neyer do," he said, "But I'm not out there to put on a show, I'm out there to win a ball game." Versalles, asked about the challenge of . playing against Wills, had a lengthier but simi lar reply. Did Versalles, who stole 26 bases during the regular sea son, have any thoughts about stealing. against the Dodgers and thus applying the same pressure that Wills will apply on the Twins? "Wills goes all the time, " said Versalles. "But we have a dificrent. ciup. Their piichers make a mistake and we hit it out of the park. Maybe if Wills was on the club he wouldn't go all the time, "But I know when -to put the pressure on--I know when to go for this club." And when was that? "First time,"' he said surpris- ingly, then added. "First time I get a chance, I go. And I want them to know it. I won't lose anything trying."
