Maury Wills At Third For Alston's Dodgers
Dodgers manager Walt Alston shifts third base duties to Maury Wills after seven players tried the position this season. Wills ankle sprain limits mobility but his strong arm suits the long throw to first as Dodgers host Philadelphia following a three game sweep of the Giants. Dodgers boast poor fielding marks as a team while Princeton coach Richard Colman’s Tigers posted 34 wins in six seasons.
