Hack Is Enthusiastic
By the Associated Press

It's taken three years and a new
manager for Outfielder Hal
Jefcoat to realize his goal
that of being a pitcher for the
Chicago Cubs.

good defensive f1ychaser but a
weak hitter whose .235 mark
last year was among the poorest
on the team. made his debut on
the mound for the Cubs yester-
day in New Orleans.
The Cubs BANKED the Balti-
more Orioles, 20, with Jeffcoat
yielding only two hits in the last
five innings. The sparkling
chore possibly saved Jeffcoat,
who is 20, from skidding into
the minors after six years with
the Cubs.
Hal faced Is batSmen. He
famed two and issued only one
walk while demonstrating a
mixture of a fine fast ball with
a sharp and sometimes wide
curve.
Trying for Three Years.
Jeffcoat feels confident he has
at last found his baseball niche
and hopes he will join such we'll
known players as Bob Lemon,
Johnny Lindell and Bucky Wal
tiers as men who came from in
field and outf1eld to make their
mark on the mound.
