H Pitching Staff
? ST. LOUIS (CNS) ? The St.
P Louis Browns' owner, Bill Veeck
1 put in a strong plea that Leroy
r -Catcher' Paige, who works for
the Brotfrnks, be included in the
| all-star team,
f'l course, I cannot approach
7 Oasey Sengel, who perhaps already
has picked his pitchers, to
put Paige on his club," Veeck
said. "But it would be a fine
EM thing for the game and a mcrttH
ed distinction for Satch, if Casey
&!1 gave him a spot on his staff. And
another thing, Stegel could do a
H lot worse than use the old guy.
^H^Be it the greatest three inning
^Kj~hurler in baseball, and how about
those 10 shutout frames ho
I worked against the Senators on
|Sj the night of June 20th?"
mm paign was simply, "It would be
Wf real nice to be picked on the AllW?
-Star team."
h Whether me American Lea-i
H gue manager, Cas y Stengel,'
h names Satch or not to the Clas-j
| aic held this year in Philadel-;
phia on July 8th, the Yankees'
are sure in amazement at the
I guy* Said Phil Fizzuta as the
/Yankees left St. Louis for home:
"He (Satch) can throw the ball
wherever he likes. Tho guy is a
? wonder."

Wrapped up in this explosive
