PRAISES MUDCAT q ae Minna nays AYALLLLIG MINNEAPOLIS (AP)-- There's nothing like home cook- ing and the home baseball park to halt a losing streak, Minne- gota Twins' manager Sam Mele said Wednesday. And his ball club proved it. "Sure, it helped for us to get back home,"' Mele said, after Twins defeated Los Angeles 5-1 and evened the World Series at three games apiece. "Mele couldn't stop tossing superlatives in the direction of winning pitcher Jim Grant. "The guy did a fantastic job, that's all there is to it," he said. "How about the job he did? That's definitely one of his better games, but he pitched some great ones for us this year against Chicago White Sox." Mele said he had told Grant to throw as hard as he could for as long as he could. | "T kept asking him if he was okay,' Mele sai, "and he said his stuff was good and he felt good. He's had a cold and a cough for a month, I didn't know how far he could go." Helped Us To Be Home, Mele ' at scia s Biase ese The other hero of the Twins' dressing room was left fielder Bob Allison, whose fourth-in- ning, two-run homer broke a scoreless tie. ' Allison said he was expecting a pitch near the plate from Claude Osteen, and he got it-- a fast ball which he rode into the left field pavilion. Said Allison: 'Osteen had 'good stuff, but the background was better here and you could pick his pitches up better." Left-hander Jim Kaat said be 'welcomes another shot at the Dodgers: "I just hope to keep my pitches down and not get into trouble with high stuff as I did in Los Angeles." "Everybody's available to- morrow," Mele said, "Grant may even be in the bullpen. I'll see how he feels."

' Faloney, the ageless veteran who came to Alouettes in, an eight-player trade last January, was named the winner of the Jeff Russel Trophy as_ the player who best combined abil- ity and sportsmanship. Evanshen is the EFC's top receiver with 30 receptions in 11 games. In 1964, halfback Dick Shatto of Toronto Argonauts won the Jeff Russel award and Al Irwin of Montreal the rookie honors. ' Faloney, who guided Hamil- ton Tiger-Cats to seven league crowns and two Canadian titles in eight seasons, leads the EFC} passers with 112 completions so far this season. The play of the 33-year-old star has been instrumental in guiding Montreal into the play- offs. Not since Sam Kicheverry bolted the Als four seasons ago when a trade which involved Faloney blew apart, have Als had a strong man at quarter- back. Faloney's record in 11 games this season with the third-place Alouettes includes 1,683 yards gained passing, five touchdown passes and a 51.2 per cent com- pletion average, all second only to the pace of.Russ Jackson of Ottawa Evanshen, 21, a Montreal na tive, failed in his first try to win a spot on the Montreal roster after playing college ball at Utah State.
