SatcheI Poige Is
Beck In Organized
Baseball Aqoin

Portland, Ore. CAMP - When
ever they are on the verge Of
counting him out, he always comes
back.
That would have to be Leroy
(SatcheD Paige, the pitching mar
vel who continues to defy both age
and tradition in remaining one Of
basebalrs outstanding players.
Paige is supposed to be at least
55 years old, but he can still pitch
better and smarter baseball than
many pitchers in their EOS. His
longevity on pitching is one Of the
wonders of baseball.
Returns To Organized Baseball
The one-time opponent Of such
major league pitching immortals
as Dizzy Dean and Bobby Jeller,
Paige today still has a good fast
ball, curve and breaker. Give him
three innings and he will hold his
own with some Of today's top pit
cheers.
In the Negro American Baseball
Leagues East-West game in New
York recently, Paige helped pitch
the West to victory with three
scoreless innings, and was voted
the games outstanding player. The
performance gave meat to Paige's
challenge that he was in good
pitching shape and ready for
another fling in the majors.
He hasn't made it back to the
majors yet, but last week the
Portland Beavers of the Pacific
Coast League signed him to a con-
tract. Satch' had returned to
organized baseball.
Paige's first entry into organ
lied baseball and eventually the
major leagues was an impressive
one. Although admittedly past his
peak when Bill Veeck signed him
to a Cleveland Indians contract in
1913, Paige made a remarkable
showing on the mound, helping to
pitch the Indians to the American
League pennAnt that year.
He stayed with the Indians
through 1949, then went to the old
st. Louis Browns
His next stop was Miami in the
International League, again under
Bill Veeck.
After leaving the Miami Mar
Inns, Paige transformed in the Ne
gro League, where he started his
baseball pitching career many
years ago. He is one Of the most
successful transformers baseball
has ever known.
Paige has pitched the length and
breadth of the Americas, and in
Latin America.
A book on his career, titled
'Pitchin' Man." was published sew
eral years ago.

Several Major
League Prospects
On Angels Farm
BY BRAD PYE, JR.

Los Angeles CAMP - Down
on the farm the Los Angeles An
gels have several Negro players
who look like they have the tools
to become Angels Of the future"
Currently the hottest prospect
Of the group is hard-hitting out
fielder Dick Simpson, formerly Of
Venice California; High school.
The tape-measure home run clout-
er is presently batting around 300
for Statesville NC, Owls.
The 1S-year-old and 170-pound
prospect leads the Western Car
DINA League in homers with Is. At
Venice High he was a 23-foot plus
broad jumper and on the base
paths he has been compared with
the LA. Dodgers flock of speed

At the rate Simpson is going
he may be invited to go to spring
training with the Angels next sea-
son.
Two of Simpsons Negro team
mates at Statesville, shortstop Bob
Lucas and second-sacker David
Best, have shown promise Of boss
oming out into fine prospects.
Ex-Famu Stars
Best, brother-in-law of the Mil
waukee Braves great Hank Aaron
and Lucas, were both signed off
the campus Of Florida A & M. AS
an indication Of this trio's ability,
all three were selected on the
Western Carolina Leagues all-star
East squad. Best got a pinch-hit
and Simpson collected a double
in three trips. This trio was in
strumental in Statesville nabbing
the first half of its split-season.
Los Angeles boy - right handler
Walter Darton from Jordan High
school.
Before suffering a sore arm,
barton had posted a 81 record.
barton was brought back to
l. A. for treatment by the Angels
team physician. Angel Farm Direc-
tor Roland Hemond says, the med
les have given barton the green
light, but he will remain here to
work out with the parent club for
the remainder Of the season.
Stars OF Future
OF the 40 farmhands the Angels
have signed since opening shop a
little over eight months ago eight
have been Negroes. This is 20 per
cent Of the total.
Hemond and his chief scout,
Rosey Gilhousen, state that great
things are expected Of Simpson,
Lucas and Best and that the trio
looks like Angels of the Future.

Attempt To Cancel
Come Because Of
NeqFo-Indion PIoYeF

Hastings, Neb. CAMP - An
apparent move by two Mississippi
coaches to force cancellation Of an
American Legion little world ser
les baseball game here because the
team opposing the Mississippi en-
try had a player who is part Negro
and part Indian backfired when
their team played without the
dixie coaches and lost.
The defeat, meanwhile, was
doubly gauling to the Dixie coaches
when it developed that the Ne
gro player they objected to so
firmly, struck the deciding blow
for Billings, Mont, which defeated
the Jackson, Miss, team, 4-3.
Bat Speaks
Richard Lucero, slammed a
double in the ninth inning to break
tie and give Billings the victory.
His base hit also eliminated Jack
son from the eight-team, double
elimination tournament.
Lucero became the center of
controversy when the Mississippi
coaches, Robert Berry and Willis
Steenhuis, walked out on their
team and the tournament because
Billings insisted on fielding Luz
cero. a catcher, and a key player.
The coaches had held a meeting
with Gorge Rulon Of Indianapolis,
the Legion baseball commissioner,
before the walkout. Although Ru-
Ion would not comment on the
meeting, it appears Berry and
Steenhuis failed in their segrega-
ton bid.
AS it turned out, however, the
two coaches absence didn't make
much difference, II any. Members
Of the Jackson team decided to
play the game with Billings, Lu-
cero notwithstanding, and put up
good battle. They were just up
against a better team; a team
that triumphed because of its be-
lief in fairplay.
Move NAV Aid LucerO
Meanwhile, the racial controver-
sy aroused by the coaches may
actually help Lucero. The nation
al publicity engendered drew the
attention Of major league coaches
throughout the nation who are al
ways on the prowl for baseball
prospects.
On the other hand, Billings
might have lost the game had Lu-
cero been forced out Of the lineup
because of his race.
One Of the staunchest pro-seg-
regation states in the South, Miss
issippi athletic squads have steer
ed away from encounters with
teams involving Negro players for
several years.
However, the Jackson team rep
resenting region 4, decided before
hand to play in the tournament
even though there was a possibili.
ty of a contest against Billings
whose catcher Lucero, was the
lone Negro player in the tourna-
ment.

Tommy Watkins
Most Promising
In Browns Comp

Hiram, Ohio (ANP)-The most
promising rookie in the training
camp of the 1861 Cleveland Browns
is Tommy Watkins, the former
Iowa star, it has been reported.
Watkins, the report stated, is
trying to spell Bobby Mitchell, the
Browns fleet halfback, and his
challenge is good one. If he con-
tinues to perform as he has been
in training, he is sure to land a
berth on one of the Browns units.
The report suggested Watkins
may even replace Mitchell, but it
admitted that Tommy faces a diff
ficult task.
Baker, Caleb Contest
The big contest on the Browns
team to date, however, is between
Jimmy Caleb, a former Grambling
college star, and Sam Baker, ex-
Oregon ground gaining leader. The
second spot between Jimmy Brown,
two are fighting it out for the
the great Cleveland fullback. 1t
seems no one will replace Brown
for quite some time to come.
Other promising rockies in the
Browns camp are Charley Fergu-
son, a former offensive end at
and Preston Powell, another ex-
