When bankers and brokers,
clerks and clerics plead for his
autograph and the privilege Of
shaking his hand?
Well, If the young man happens
to be Bob Teller, sensational fire
ball pitcher of the Cleveland In
dams, the answer is exactly moth
ing. For here's a lad with a
cagy head and neither the adu-
lation Of the mob nor the flattery
of the gladhanderS will ever turn
his head.
In fact, the young man gives
the impreSSion-although he's too
polite to, say So-that all this
bother Is a distinct pain in the
neck to him.
Part Of Job
But he also realizes that it's all
part of his job and so he goes
through the routine of interviews,
picture taking and autographing
with the same easy grace that
marked Babe Ruth'S contacts with
the public.
If wrote . book on him I
couldn't describe him half as
well as he described himself
when ne said today: I'D rather
win 1O-9 game with no strike
outs than fan 20, allow no hits
but lose 1 to o."
There you have him in q nut
Shell-a kid who'd rather win for
his team than lose while enhanc-
ing his own glory.
What about his pitching? Here's
the answer from three sources:
Hank Leiber and Gus Mancuso
Of the Giants say "the kids got
something on every ball he
throws"
"Fact u.s." says Gus, ''he's got
too damn much to suit me when
I'm trying to get a hit off him.
He may or may not be faster
than Van MungO or Lefty Grove
but he's got better curve than
either Of them. What's more, he
doesn't let up on his curve. He
wheels that down in there just
about as swift as his high hard
one. He hasn't got much change
Of pace but then he doesn't need
one. He just pOurS it through
and how he can pour it,"
