source of the petitions signatures.
The organization of Citizens

'Satch' Paige Pitches
West To 20 Win

CHICAGO.-Veteran pitcher Le-
roy "Satchel" Paige proved two
things last Sunday afternoon
he can still pitch, and he is still a
great box office attraction.
Living up to his promise to prove
that he is still a pitcher of note,
Paige pitched three hitless innings
striking out two with his famous
hesitation pitch.
AS had been expected Paige was
the big attraction, as 11,257 fans,
including several of his former ma
jor league supporters, turned up
to see if he still "has it."
In familiar surroundings in Co.
miskey Park, where he once packed
'em in as a member of the Cleve-
land Indians, "Satch" teamed up
with Isaac Harris, of the Memphis
Red Sox, to hurl the West to a
20 victory over the East in the
23rd annual East-West game,
sponsored by the Negro American
League.
10 Misky CARTRIDGE of the Bir-
mingham Black Barons was
charged with the loss.
In the game, the West, which
has now won its fourth straight
victory as we'll as its 18th decision,
was represented by players from
the Kansas City Monarchs. The
East had players from the Detroit
Stars and the Birmingham Black
Barons.
The Kansas City Monarchs, one
of the most popular teams in Ne
gro baseball, is reported to have
signed Paige to a $4,000 contract
for the 1855 season.
