THE DAYS
SPORTS PARADE

son thought it screWball request
and pointed out that the Phils'
pitchers were wearing numbers
from 40 to so, while the catchers
had the figures from 10 to 20. Will
son added, land l don't see how 1
can make a fourth-string catcher
out of you, when I need pitching
so badly" However, Pilot Jimmy
pacified Passeau with No. 49,
Claude has been wearing it ever
since.
Considering the brand of support
the weak hitting Phils gave him,
Passeau did we'll during his three
seasons with them, and he was
traded to the Cubs for three play
ers in May, 1899. In 40 with the
Cubs he clicked off 20 victories
against 13 defeats.
OUT OF PLAY
But last season No 13 brought
him questionable luck. He was out
of play for six weeks with three
different injuries, winding up with
ID wins and ID losses.
This year the number is working
we'll again, and Passeau says, I'm
aiming at 20 victories. Yes, if I
get 20 III be satisfied Anything
more than that will be gravy
With Is wins now in the bag
against eight defeats, Claude has
an excellent chance for his 20.
I'm getting the breaks this sea-
SON. he says. I'm in good shape
and my arm seelS fine And I'm
getting swell support from the team.
Seems that every time it's my turn
to work, we get good hitting. It's
a great help when the boys make
| runs for you. No. I haven't chang
ed my style of pitching at all
this year, still throwing the same
old stuff.
At 81, Passeau has plenty of stuff,
according to opposing batsmen -
speed curves, change of pace, and
particularly the sailer-ball The
combination of his unusual speed
and a special grip makes the pellet
sail or lift as it zooms past the
batter. Rarely does anyone get a
distance drive off that sailer. It's
the No. | delivery.

NEW YORK, Aug. 3 - UP) -
Both starting pitchers wore "13"
on their backs i'll the nightcap of
Sundays Cubs Dodgers double
header at Ebbets Field But No. 13
proved luckier for Claude Passeau
of the Cubs than for Kirby Higbe
of the Dodgers, who was removed in
the third inning.
Tall, dark-haired Passeau of the
wide face and gray-blue eyes, reg
istered his 18th victory of the sea-
son, although rescued in the ninth
inning by Lon Warneke. No other
pitcher in the majors has won that
many this year.
Passeau, the sailer-ball specialist,
was not surprised when the Cubs
won the nightcopt, despite Brook
lynS menacing ra:iy in the ninth.
He is more or less surprised when
he doesn't win; he considers No.
13 that lucky Higbe and the Cardi-
nails Mort Cooper also operate un-
der the aegiS of this figure, which
is summed by most players and fans
as ill-omened.
13 is LUCKY
During a chat at his hotel after
the game, Passeau was asked why
he considers No. 13 lucky
Il dunno sad the big right
handler in his Mississippi drawl
"I dunno why I've always reckoned
it lucky. 1t just is lucky for me,
that's all"
Passeau explained that when he
ioined the Phils in 1886, he felt
he could make good in the majors
if he had "13" on his back. He
asked Jimmy Wilson, then manager
of the Phils, for the number Will

all-star team when it was made up
from two players from each OF the
eight teams at the beginning OF
the season.
VIRTUALLY SAME
There have been few changes
in the all-star roster with the drop
ping of the Ortiz All-Stars from
the league but the lineup remains
virtually the same.
Little Carl Jackson from the
City of Ell Centre team will hurl
for the all-stars. He will square off
against Charles Coffman, Cramer's
pitcher, who will carry the no-stars'
colors.
Jackson boasts the best record of
any moundsman in league compe-
tition with eight wins and losses
for his City team. Coffman had a
similarly fine record before he left
Ell Centre for Yuma several weeks
ago. Bennett said that Coffman
will be back for the Tuesday night
game, however, and will probably
be able to pitch the remaining
games on the Cramer's schedule in
league play.
HEADING ATTACK
Heading the attack of the all
stars will be T. j. Payne. outfielder
whose 692 batting average is tops
for star games. Roy Robertson,
another consistent hitter, will act
as battery mate for Jackson.
Bennett is scheduled to start be-
hind the plate for he no-starS and
will be counted upon to lead the
batting assault.
The game between the City and
Cramer's scheduled for the stadium

NEW YORK, Aug. 3. (OI J
There has been no state
ment from Commissioner X.
M. Lands regarding the 1912
world series but with the
Yankees and Dodgers apparently all
set to renew last years classic, it
is reasonable to prec.cJ that all OF
this years games will be played at
Yankee Stadium.
President Will Harridge of the
American League, Ford F'rick OF the
National and Lands are studying
proposals to take the classic on
tour or to contribute all profits to
service relief.
The first idea, the National
Leagues would give 80 per cent 10
service charity, but if the committee
votes for the old system an Ameri-
can League proposal, all the games
will be played in the Yankee Sta
dunn. This, it was expected, would
increase the profits and the SER
vice organizations share.
