"WILL BEAT KOUFAX, TOO' Minnesota Sluggers Show Power Early By JOE REICHLER MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- No- body is talking about four straight anymore, Not even Minnesota Twins who battered Don Drysdale and beat favored Los Angeles Dodgers 8-2 to draw first World Series blood. The Dodgers had really be- ' Heved they could knock off the American League champions in four straight. Today, somewhat subdued after having their 23- game winning right - hander knocked out in less than three inning, the Dodgers placed all their hopes on Sandy Koufax, their lefj-handed star, to give them an even break in the two games here. Sam Mele, the Twins' mana- ger, never had any illusions about a four-game sweep.

The Mudcat is the name given to Jim Grant, Minne- sota's ace right-hander, who Wednesday pitched the Twins to an 8-2 first-game World Series victory over Los An- geles Dodgers. The Kittens are the_other members of Grant's musical quartet which will make the bebop circuit this fall and winter, 'We're. a real jive group," said Mudcat, "All the Kittens play instruments, Not the Mudcat. I sing and dance, "T sing rhythm in blues, pop and ballads mostly. A little rock 'n' roll, too, We go over very big." Mudcat said he got his nick- name in 1954, his first year in organized baseball, "They thought I came from Mississippi,"' he said. "Peo- ple, it seems, connect mud- cats with Mississippi, The only trouble is I've never been in Mississippi... I come from Florida," A delightful extrovert, the 30-year-old Grant rarely al- lows modesty to stand in his way, So it was a surprise when the strong-armed right- hander appeared humble over his 10-hit performance, He was so humble, he was almost apologetic, "T think I pitched a terrible game," he said.
