Satchel Paige, the veteran

header against the Washington
Homestead Grays at Griffith

Paige has played here many
times on transforming tours
and later with the Cleveland
club. AS far back as 1912 he
attracted $4,000 for a game with
the Grays, and two years ago his
appearance with the Indians was
the occasion for a Sellout.
The old-timer said last week

in the majors again and re-
ported that negotiations were
under way with two teams for

Leagues Top HurIer
In 194S Has Won |,
Lost ; This Year
By Burton Hawkins
Sfer stoff Correspondent

CLEVELAND, Aug. 2. - The
Mats. short of pitching talent en-
tering the last two months of the
season. today picked up Gene
Bearden. southpaw hurler, from
the Indians in a waiver deal. In
exchange Cleveland received Mer-
rill Combs, utility infielder, who
will be sent direct to San Diego,
the Indians Pacific Coast League
farm team.
Bearden shifted to the Mats to-
day and probably will see early
duty. first as a relief pitcher. Man
ager Bucky Harris said he did not
know how much he could count
on Bearden. but hoped the big
fellow would bounce back and re-
gain some of his 1948 form.
This year Beardon has won one
and lost three with the Tribe.
He has appeared in only IA games,
allowed 81 hits in 451s innings,
struck out II and walked 80. His
earned run average Is SIG.
Won 20 games in '48.
Combs, who came to Washing
ton from the Red Sox in the Clyde
Vollmer deal. appeared in 80
games with the Red Sox and Mats
and is batting .245.
Bearden was a sensation for
the Indians in 1948 when he won
20 games and lost Z. His goth
victory was in a playof game for
the pennant with the Red Sox. In
the World Series he won one and
lost none.
Last year Bearden won 8 and
lost 8. He will be 80 years old
September 5 and is one of the
biggest pitchers in the majors
standing 6 feet 31a and weighing
over 200 pounds. He was injured
in World War II and still carries
shrapnel in his leg. plus a metal
plate. He was born in Helena
Ark, but makes his home in Long
Beach, Calf.
The Mats, beaten by Early Wynn
last night. 80, will meet up with
Bob Lemon, the leagues most
sizzling pitcher, in the second
game Of the series tonight.
And the leagues hottest batter
OF the moment-Mickey Vernon
will be attempting to move closer
to the 800 mark.
In batting $40 with the Mats
over span of six weeks, Vernon
has boosted his average 81 points
since being traded by the Indians.
He has lifted his mark to a re-
spectacle .286 with eight hits in
two games and is justifying his
selection as a cleanup hitter.

Baseball Commissioner A. B.

their status during their service
These are two major provisions
the reactivated World War Il
regulations contained: l, any
player going into the armed
forces shall automatically bt
placed on the National defense
list and shall not count in the
player limits of his club unit
