Bucs Skipper Lauds Team Performance PITTSBURGH (II)---1f any body is glad to be back in the friendly confines of Forbes Field it's Pittsburgh Manager Danny Murtaugh. Road trips always scare him. Take for example the one just concluded. The Pirates left town with a two-game lead and saw it melt to a half-game after losing three out of four to St. Louis. They started for California in a somewhat shaky condition with six defeats in 10 starts. Once in California they struck gold; They lowered the boom on the San Francisco Giants and Bill fligney, winning three straight and ran off two more victories against Los Angeles before drop ping the final game. "But it's always good to be in your own back yard," mused Murtaugh yesterday in analyzing the Pirates' road trip. "I'm highly pleased with the boys. `They have a great desire to win. They just don't know what the word quit means. We've got a good ball club and we aim to make trouble." The Pirates, heading the Nation al League by four games, open a 13-game home stand today against the four western clubs—St. Louis, Chicago, San Francisco and Los Angeles. The Pirates have an 18-6 record at Forbes Field. They were 47-30 at home in 1959. Los - Angeles is the only club the Pirates have not beaten at home this year. So the 13-game home stand pro vided plenty of fireworks and kept the turnstiles clicking. In 2-1 home games the Pirates have drawn 480,643 compared with 383.849 for a similar number of home games last year. lliqc Se_... va as will prevail i n !hes Co°‘ e •• ~, .40' ~,,,?.:4. 1., o.' i . ,, ,,,, '' . : 4,.,,. :" .5 : 4 ' .., ; , irT7 . :..: 4 triii.....1t1,:,>,...?. j": ' ' •• . 1 W t,:',...VSZP: ,0',i,,,, . • 10...4 fic f *" ,'"',...,,> fii `l%. ..., ;:4 3"/ , ' , ..2 54:1,3.
