For Series
By JOE REICHLER
Associated Press Sports Writer
PITTSBURGH (IP)—Vernon Law,. Pittsburgh's 20-game
winning right-hander, definitely will pitch the opener of the
World Series against the New York Yankees here Wednesday,
Oct. 5.
Law most likely will be opposed by Whitey Ford, the
veteran left-hander, who has * * *
been Manager Casey Stengle's
nominee all season to start the
important series.
• If Ford goes, Pittsburgh Mana
ger Danny Murtaugh will start
his (!right-handed" lineup. That
means Dick Stuart will be at first
base. Hal Smith behind the plate
and Gino .Cimoli in center field
Murtaugh indicated ver y
plainly that Law was his man,
to he followed by Bob Friend,
another right-hander, in the
second game. Either Vinegar
Bend Mizell or Harvey Haddix,
both left-handers. will pitch the
third game, when the teams
switch to Yankee Stadium.
Murtaugh is a man of few
words but he strayed - from char
acter when asked whether he had
heard the whisperings that the
Pira t es might tightenen up
against the experienced Ameri
can League champions.
"Listen," he said. "we respect
the Yankees but we're certainly
not scared of 'em. We're not un
derestimating them but - the Yan
kees better not underestimate us.
We got a good ball club and we're
not worried about any pressure.
Shucks, we've played under pres
sure all year. '
"We've been underplayed all
year. When we went into first
place last June. the consensus
was that we would stay there
only temporarily. When we hit
a• little skid and slipped into
second place, the cynics said: 'I
told you so.'
"But we moved right back in
there. What's the word for this
club? Resiliency?
"Any club that can bounce back
as often as we did will not suc
cumb to pressure!"
