Portland Asks
For Old Satch
From Indians

PORTLAND = Bill Mulligan,
general manager of the Portland
Beavers of the Pacific Coast
League, last week put in a bid for
Satchel Paige, ancient Highlander
released by the Cleveland Indians.
He asked the Indians to send
him Paige as the last payment in
a deal which sent Pitcher Hal
Saltzman to the Indians. Accord
ing to Mulligan, the Beavers were
due cash and five players. They
have received four players.
It the Beavers get Paige, they
will probably become the biggest
drawing team in the league. Satch
would join Catcher John R;tchev
and Outfieldcr Luis MARQUEE on
the Beavers roster.
