Bill North

Locker has won nine in relief this year, and he has 18 saves.

Cubs traded Billy North to Oakland to get Bob Locker.

Billy North had quite a year for the Oakland A's.

Too high, and the count is two and two.

He could never break into the set Cub outfield.

Candy Campanaris in his first start, hitting a .279, two home runs, 27 RBIs, and has 23 stolen bases.

Second to Bill North of Oakland, the pitcher Rick Wise of the St. Louis Cardinals, right-handed, pitcher who throws hard and at the knees with his first pitch for strike one.

Wise was traded from Philadelphia to St. Louis for Steve Collin.

Wise did not have a good year last year.

Oakland this year stole one hundred and twenty seven bases of the team.

The Mets twenty seven Oakland stole one hundred more bases but fifty three of those stolen bases are missing from the World Series and the first of Bill North the center fielder who severely sprained ankle and couldn't play in the playoffs or World Series.

Undoubtedly the A's missing in here.

He and Campanaris were a potent one and two Set up in that batting order.

Campanaro has retired short to first.

And it'll bring up center fielder Bill North.

A switch center.

He'll be up there right-handed against

Cuellar.

Now it's 1-4-11 in the third.

You know, Bill North at the next call, he came to the Oakland A's in the Bob Locker deal.

And he reminds me somewhat of Lou Brock, who also got away from the Cubs.

He had 10 days rest and looked very good in the playoffs, pitching a powerful game against Baltimore.

And let's take a look at him in slow motion as his teammate, Catfish Hunter, who won yesterday, makes some comments about Ken Holtzman.

Kenny Holtzman is a controlled pitcher like myself.

He's got to have his control to win today.

He's won one and lost one.

He's allowed only eight hits in a total of 23 innings and only one earned run in his last five starts.

And in slow motion, take a look at him as his teammate, Gary Kuzma, gives you some slants on the pitching of Matlack and what he'll have to do today.

John is a very consistent pitcher.

And we have one down.

The regular center fielder of the A's is Bill North.

Who had an outstanding season.

Playing well defensively.

teams have had bad breaks with injuries with Rusty Stabaugh who was really swinging a mean bat for the Mets in the playoffs.

And the

A's will miss Bill North who stole 53 bases during the regular year.

And missed the last 13 games of the season, Kurt.

Rivers leads the American League in runs scored with 78.

Roy White, Amos Otis of Kansas City and Billy North of Oakland are second with 77.

1-0 pitch.

He bluffs a bunt, takes a strike.

Here's the 3-1 pitch.

Bounce foul outside of first base into the crowd.

on what Tavis Otis and Billy North do and Mickey Rivers perhaps later in the ball game Roy has taken over the league lead and run scored he now has 79 with two runs scored tonight and the Yankee fans chanting go go go the payoff pitch it's deep for right foot far way back in the upper deck Roy got around on a fastball bounces all the way down below here is just as important as the RBIs for the number three and four guys.

Absolutely.
