DETROIT, July 23.-Selecting
the Senator's biggest disap-
pointment, of the year is a ham
dicapping event still subject to
switching. but among those in
the running are Chuck Stobbs
and Camilo Pascual, whose
pitching has been somewhat
short Of elegant.
Birdie Tebbetts, Cincinnati
who had a chance to
examine the Senators pitching
staff in numerous exhibitions
last spring. rated Pascual as a
superior hurler and predicted
he'd win more games than Bob
|Porterfleld or Maury McDer-
mott, who have experienced the
|elation of one big year each.
Tebbetts, who handled some
excellent pitchers in his catch
ling career with Detroit. Boston
and Cleveland, is an accurate
Judge ,of baseball talent, but in
Pascual's case he plunged over
board too quickly. The 2l-year-
old Cuban Highlander could be
IA future standout, but at the
moment he's merely another er-
ratio performer who is being
Ithumped solidly.
Chased Early by Tigers
In exhibitions Tebbetts liked the
manner in which Pascual battled
back after being roughed up a
bit. Camilo got sore at the op-
position and seemingly pumped
harder. Now he appears to be
directing his anger at himself
and coming apart at the seams
when things go wrong.
/ Pascual has a 2-9 record. He
was chased early yesterday wher
the Tigers mauled him for five
runs in the second inning er
route to an 11-3 victory before
4,891 customers. Stobbs came
along in relief and represented
no improvement, surrendering II
of Detroit's Is hits-includine
a pair of home runs by Ray
Boone-and six runs in six in.
