Braves Recall
PixzcTo To Help
Fend of Sidnfs

Milwaukee CAMP - The Mil
waukee Braves dipped into its rich
farm resources last week in an
effort to beat off the challenge of
the San Francisco Giants and 9TH
er rivals in the hot National
League pennant chase.
The world champions called up
Juan Pizzaro from its Wichita club
in the American Association. odd
" enough, Pizzaro was one Of the
players who were expected to make
the Braves road to the 1858 MI
pennant easy.
Star In Winter Ball
After a $3.50 rookie year with
the Braves in 1857, Pizzaro burned
up the Puerto Rican winter league
while pitching for Caguas Rio
Piedras. He led the league in earn
ed run average (132), strikeouts
St. Paul recorder. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1958-08-08

(1s3 in ITO innings) and wins IA,
against losses.)
He was expected to give Warren
SPAIN, the Braves southpaw ace,
help as a lefthander.
But a dismal performance In
spring training got him a ticket
to Wichita. He needed regular
work to sharpen his control.
In the American Association,
Pizzaro was one Of the better pitt
cheers in that league, despite his
9-won, 1O-lost record. He had
struck out I5s in 1856 innings, and
compiled a 2.s4 ERA.
Pitches One-Hitter
His most impressive exhibition
was against Indianapolis on June
9. He pitched hitless ball for 8 2/3
innigs and had two strikes on a
batter who connected for the In
dams only hit in the game.
Pizzaro has been in organized
baseball only three seasons. With
in 1856, ne led the
South Atlantic League in wins
(23), strikeout C3ls), complete
games cd, innings pitched (274),
and bases on balls (149). He was
tied for shutouts (six), was second
in ERA (l.77J and was named
the leagues most valuable player.

and the owners. AS 1t stands now,
the owners select the commissioner
and he is under the owners
thumb"
He further stated that he favors
the reserve clause" because he
thinks players should be able to
express themselve as to whether
they want to play for a certain
ball team. He thinks there should
be some control but he doesn't APP
prove Of the owners having all of
the control
The former Brooklyn Dodgers
star came out strongly in behalf Of
the fellow on the bench who has
no opportunity to show his talents.
He is, therefore, deprived Of decent
pay the following year because he
has not had the chance to display
his real ability, Robinson said.
Some players like the Ted VIII
hams, the Mickey Nantes and the
Stan Musials are down here tesu-
flying that they like things as they
are" said Robinson. Il agree they
get tremendous salaries. But l
wonder whether the eighth, ninth
or tenth men Of baseball would
agree that what is happening to-
day is the right thing as far as
baseball is concerned"
Jackie said he didn't think the
Government should come in and
dictate to owners as to what they
should do. But he does think that
there should be some control so
that the players wouldn't have to
wait for six years If they didn't
comply.
The baseball expert objected to |
major leagues keeping players In |
the minor league too long. Five or
six years is long enough, he said
Some Of the leagues control near
ly 500 players who could be placed
with major league teams that are
in the seventh or eighth place.
He doesn't agree that there should
be a special number Of players
which each league could control
This would limit opportunities for
those players who are sometimes
beat out Of the bushes by scouts
when the fellows themselves 90
not realize their own ability. These
scouts can find major league ma

embarked on the spree Boyd was
batting an anemic .179.

base hits in his drive above the
coveted 800 level Bob was de-

He whacked an eighth inning

dashed a triple in the 10th inning,
which eventually led to the tie

Boyd has earned a reputation
for hitting line drives. But he can

on his hitting splurge. he walloped
a home run high in the second
deck at Briggs Stadium.
An Orioles Mainstay
It is not surprising that Boyd
has emerged from the most puzz-
ling slump Of his baseball career
In his two previous seasons with
the Birds, he was their leading
hitter. In 1856, he batted 81,
and in 1857 his mark was .31s,
placing him among the first five
league batters.
He also came to the majors with
such minor league batting records
as .373 with Colorado Springs in
1850; .342 with Sacramento in
1851: 800 with Seattle in 1852;
1928 with Charleston in 1858. and
