 Cliff Curtis, formerly Miiwa udcee's pitcher, now with Boston, fs an in and outer, but he seems to be abou4 the best tWirler on the staff. He has al- lowed fewer hits this year than any other Boston pitcher who has worked as often. Curtis would be able to pitch good ball for Milwaukee and it is safe bet McCloskey wishes he had kept him.
