Orioles Gain Respect | For A. L. With Sweep By MIKE RATHET BALTIMORE (AP) -- Out- side Mamarial Stadium. an ane of the approaches to the ball park, a big, bold sign asks the question: "Would you believe four straight?" The sign belongs to the City of Baltimore and so does the World Series following the Ori- oles' amazing--and convincing four-game sweep of Los An- geles Dodgers, But now a bigger question is being kicked around: 'the Orioles, in holding the Dodgers scoreless for a record 83 consecutive innings while putting together the first Amer- ican League sweep in 16 years, destroy the myth 'of National League superiority? Strangely enough, Frank Rob- Anson, the guy who did the most to destroy the National League representatives, thinks not. Robinson, who supplied the only homer in Sunday's 1-0 Series fi- nale. "I still think over-all the National League 1s stronger, but it's not so much different in the two leagues as you're led to believe." Not many experts agreed be- fore the Series. The myth of su- periority had been built through three straight World Series tri- umphs by National League teams and a succession of All- Star game victories, The Dodg- ers were installed as 8-5 favor- ites for the Series. Then it happened. The names were Moe Drabowsky, Jim Palmer, Wally Bunker and Dave McNally--and they stifled the Dodgers, holding them scoreless from the third inning of the first game of-the best-of- seven set to the end of the Ser- es. Was it American League su' periority? cheen, pilcninig Guperwag 2 2555 Wills, the Dodger captain, saw it more as Los Angeles' inade- quacy at the plate, OFFERED A CHALLENGE "To me I gotta say it's good pitching," Brecheen explained. "We didn't hit and they didn't hit. It's gotta be real fine pitch- ing. I think the kids were able to pitch against Koufex and Drysdale because it was a chal- lenge that they were pitching against a superstar and a siar, "Over the last few years I've watched guys who've left one league or the other. I aon't think there's that much differ- ence. I think if Brooks Robinson went to the National League, he'd play great. If Willie Mays went to the American League, he'd play great." Said Wills: on the point of view, Hazs> Bre- the Orioles' pitching coach, said it was Baltimore's The answer, as it came from the dressing rooms, depended "T believed that when I was in the National League," said "With all due respect to their) pitching a lot of it had to do | with the fact that we were lousy . * " with the bat, We had a bad hit- | ting Series.

Robinson wouldn't say he was a superman but as the hero of Baltimore Orioles' World Series triumph stood jammed in his cubicle in the dressing room he acknowle: that he had ac- complished his two aims--wip- :ing out the old man and bad- guy raps. » "I've been playing this sea- en since Dec. 9," said Robin- son, who learned then that he had been traded to the Orioles "by Cincinnati Reds. "I wanted te have a good year--it was the first thought in my mind at that time. "And I wanted to show the people, the officials, the City of Baltimore they were getting a guy who still could play base- ball." WON TRIPLE CROWN Robinson accomplished that during the regular season by becoming the first player in a decade to win the batting triple crown. | And he emphasized his claims in the World Series, hitting a homer in the first game, then putting his stamp on the finale Sunday whan he previded the only run as Baltimore com- es a four-game sweep of Angeles Dodgers: He said he felt he had proved! is point. "It's not just what I did, but to the bullpen, When I hit sec- ond, the ball was still kicking around so I started for third. Mathews took the throw in the baseline and I slid. "T guess he figured I slid un- necessarily hard. I said I can't jwait for him to tag me. And |then we tangled." : Both fired fists. "It was the only fight I ever had. I lost. My left eye was almost completely closed. That was enough for me." | .But he played the second game, hit a two-run homer, col- lected a second hit, made an outstanding catch and the Reds won 4-0. And the he plays-well- when-mad label was pinned on him eidents this year and Robinson even survived the extra pres- sure he felt was on him, partic- jularly in the series. |FEELS PRESSURE | "There's more on me than on the little fellows, I'm written up in the paper, everybody says you gotta stop him and the op- position figures if they stop the he guy they stop the whoie m. "The little guy just walks up and smashed the ball." But Robinson did that against the Dodgers Sunday despite a There were, however, no in-| over our heads, it's us. 'But it won't encourage any lscared anyone. The teams in spect us either. "They say when you watch the Dodger bats, it's just like j watching a silent movie." J/ENDS WITH FOUR-HITTER It was just that after McNally the opener. Drabowsky pitched § 2-3 innings of shutout relief in winning 5-2, Palmer won 6-0 while allowing only four hits, Bunker won 1-0 while allowing only six hits and then MeNally came back Sunday and finished it off with another four-hitter. The only run was supplied by Frank Robinson, who powered the first pitch to him by Don Drysdale in the fourth some 410 feet into the left field stands for a homer and the final revenge shot heard back in Cincinnati. Robinson had been traded to the Orioles Dec, 9 and labelled with an old-man tag. And his only thought had been to wipe it out. "P've been pleyiig this sea- son since Dec, 9," he said after the game. "I wanted to have a g year---it was. the first thought on my mind. I wanted to show. people that I wasn't washed up." jother team because we: never) cum oe Lions Still Kicking By JOHN SHORT Fullback Larry Eilmes | Canadian Press Staff Writer |smashed for 153 yards on 22 | British Columbia Lions en-\carries and one touchdown | joyed a Thanksgiving feast Mon-| against Edmonton, Willie jday with Edmonton Eskimos as| Fleming flashed four yards the main course. |for the other score while Bill | The Lions chewed up the mid-| Mitchell contributed a field \dle of the Edmonton defensive) goal, two converts and a single line for a 19-7 victory before 18,-| on a wide field goal attempt.

The Nationals won two of three Thanksgiving Weekend _jexhibition games against New York Rangers, last - place team in the NHL last season. They beat Rangers 5-2 Friday night in Winnipeg, lost 7-0 in Calgary Saturday and came back for a 4-1 win Sunday, back on their home Winnipeg ice. The Rangers closed out the holiday weekend by beating Toronto Maple Leafs 3-2 at Kitchener Monday night, the only NHL exhibition action Thanksgiving Day. The Leafs split two other weekend games, losing 3-2 to Chicago Black Hawks at Tor- onto Saturday and beating the Red Wings 5-3 Sunday at De- troit. Chicago trounced Green Bay of a minor U.S. league 11-1 in a Sunday exhibition at Green Bay, Wis. HABS FINALLY LOSE In other weekend action, Bos- ton Bruins clipped Rochester Americans, American League champions, 5-2 at Rochester and Montreal Canadiens fell 4-1. to Houston Apollos, their Texas farm team in the Central Pro- fessional League. The Nationals' strong showing surprised Emile Francis, Rang- ers' general-manager,. "T haven't seen them for quite a while but they played real well," he said. 'They were -|really skating and checking." Francis had no alibi. 'Look what happened to the Cana- diens, They lost to Houston. No excuses."' Roger Bourbonnais got two of the Nationals' goals Sunday.
