dotte pitcher, allowed only five
hits in this game but in the last
five games, which he has won in a
row, he allowed only three runs.
That kind of pitching deserves an
extra round of applause. The kid

against him this season.
In the E. L. Smith game, Sam
Palamora, joe Caterina and Don
Stepaniak all hit homers.
In the picking of the players for
the League All Star game, two Wy
