Maris Hits No. 58 . . .
Wants a Day of Off
BALTIMORE Off — In a state
ment as startling as the 58th home
run he hit Sunday, Roger Maris
said today he is thinking of asking
manager Ralph Houk to give him
a -day off during the three-game
series with Baltimore starting
Tuesday.
Needing three more home runs
in the next three games to break
Babe Ruth’s record of 60 in a 154
game season, such a request by
the New York Yankee slugger
sounds ridiculous. But the serious
minded slugger said it with a
straight face.
“I’m bushed,” Maris repeated a
remark he has made a number
of times in the past two weeks.
“Record or not, I’m thinking of
asking Ralph for a day off which
ever Barber (Baltimore lefthand
er Steve Barber) pitches. He’s
rough on me. And I can use the
rest.”
Houk has no intention of giving
Maris a day off, not until the pen
nant is clinched, anyway. The
Yankees need only two more vic
tories, or two Detroit defeats, to
clinch the flag.
