CHICAGO AP Luis Aparicio the 25 year old Venezuelan shortstop anchors Chicago's defense and pace in base stealing. Since 1956 he has led the American League in stolen bases with 21 as a rookie, 28 in 1958, 29 last year, and 31 this season. He has been caught eight times, with three unlucky tries at third or home.
