TAMPA, FLA, MAR. 27-Because of their lowy estate
and to lesser extent their distant training campfire
Senators normally do not attract much attention in Florida
But they have created quite ripple the States West
Coast after their first public appearance Camio Pascua
especially
Once again the Cincinnati hitters freshly banied by
the 25-yearod Pascual wondering what keeps the
Cuban from becoming 10 20-game winner The Reds
viii compare notes with their Tampa running mates
Chicagos White Sox, and they won't know the answer
either.
All will agree that PaScual is an enigma. Camo has
been for five years and the most games he's
in season has been eight Per inning pitched Pascua
strikes out baters than any other starting pitcher
in the American League Last year he famed 146 and
posted BIS earnedrun average but he wound up at S12
Managers Mayo Smith Of the Reds and Lopez Of the
Sox call Camlo the top stuff" pitcher Hes got a real
good fast ball and the best in league Lopez
says Whether he throws that fast the slow
one, breaks like it's falling of table I'd like to have
him on my ball club"
MAYO SMITH BUYS the same package. 1--WE haven't
got anybody in the National League with better curve
Cncnnatis field boss says wstfully Smith especially
orose after Pascuas threeh Inning shutout of
the Reds the other day.
"I4e made my hitters look bad" Mayo admitted. "of
course Pascual make anybody look bad when he's
right"
Smith had reason to be disconsolate for what the
lean l65-pounder did to Cincinnati may be foretaste
of what Mayo will have to stomach when the chips are
down. In their quest for the Reds have left them
selves dangerously thin in pitching When an enemy
pitcher throttes Frank Thomas Ed Bailey Frank Robin
son, Gus Bell 81 Co., the Reds don't figure to be in the
ball game very often.
If baseball aren't certain why Pascual hasn't been
big winner they agreed that any he is
likely to win in double figures II don't how he
miss" Lopez expounds "You know what keep thinking?
think that If Herb Scores is real good again. and
Pascua has good day-probaby it'll happen at night
those two are going to hook up in duel that will break
the strikeout record for game
CcOrai lie To cfri On haiti
If Pascual is fresh and his fast ball and good
he'll do almost as well"
TO HEAR THE SENATOR'S publicity department,
Pascua better than his 8l2 record last an
the first place." Herb Heft points out "Camo had bad
teeth and they bothered him His teeth may have been
big reason why he hasn't been better for the last two
three years.
Then, he's unlucky pitcher. mean, Camio
hardly ever to pitch when club is scoring He
lost four games by 30 lasting 10 innings He lost
81 decision and 81 game. Three other times the club
scored only run behind him."
In view of what the Yankees have been Offering in
effort to land Pascual in trade Cal Grifhth rates
commentator for doing nothing. Giving up Pascual
could be like Citing the Yankees with another Bob Turey
And what do the world champions promise in return?
Well, they talk Of Fritz Brickel for one.
II wouldn't be afraid to use him in my infeld" Casey
Stenge says Calls answer to that ought to be: WELL
why don't you2" Bricke may be nice young man but
he doesn't hit 800 in the minors and the record says he's
no ball of fire in the field, either.
MOST FA2M-RICH CLUBS have been hoodwinking
the HaveNots for long time swapping so-called hot
prospects for badly needed regular To hear managers
tak-now at least-thats lot Of nonsense regular
for-a-regular is their motto.
That's why hope the inter-league trading period
isn't killed." Lopez explains. tits good rule they've
proposed Last year, for example, Los Angeles needed
catcher real bad. We had three-Sherm Lollar Earl
Battey and John Romano. We could have traded the
Dodgers a man to catch every day in return for man
who could play regularly for us.
ION the other hand, Detroit wanted catcher. Yes,
1t was Battey and he could have caught every day for
the Tigers But they wouldn't give up everyday guy
to us. Why should strengthen club own league
and only get couple of kids who might make good?"
George Weiss might not think so, but awful lot Of
other baseball folk think that's pretty good question
