Stop batting eight and on the mountain pitching will be left hand to Mike Kekich.

Kekidz with a record of one win and one loss.

He won his last ball game.

We'll be back here at Yankee Stadium, but right now we pause for station identification.

The Yankees at home and away on WGY, Schenectady.

Mike Kekitz, the starting picture for the Yankees,

and Dick Drago will be on the mound to the Kansas City Royals.

Both men have even records.

Kekker's is one at one. D Drago is 3 and 3. And this year neither man has faced the opposition because this is only a second ball game between these two clubs, the first game last night. Lifetime, Drago is 14 and 16 and Kekich is 7 and 18. Against the Yankees, Drago is 1 in in one lifetime and Kekich has a record of 0 and 1.

Mike Kekich picked up his first win of the season in his last ballgame, and that was Friday

night as the bested Jim Perry of a Minnesota Twins, which is a good man the best.

The Yankees won that ballgame, four to two for their first victory in two years in Minnesota,

and Mike

Kekich was the winning pitcher he only went five and a third inning he allowed two runs on

five hit Lindy McDaniel went the last three and two-thirds innings without allowing a run

and save the game for Mike Kekich Kekich has been like the little girl with the curl when

he's good he's very very good and when he's bad well he's been having his trouble but when he is good he's as tough of pitcher as there is around and we say

good basically we mean when he has control because he has all the stuff he pitched two one

hitters in the national league one of those against the new york net and had no hitters going

to the seventh inning on both occasions however keckage in his lifetime still has only won seven ball games. Now, in all fanless though, this year he was going great in spring training. First start of the season. He pulled a hamstring muscle here against Cleveland. He was out for more than 21 days. And then when he came back, he was used in relief out on the West Coast and was hit pretty hard. However, his last two starts, one at Cleveland, in which he looked pretty impressive,

was not involved in the decision.

And his last game Friday night, he looked as if he may be regaining the form that he had in spring training.
