The triumph over the Red- legs gave Spahn a 1954 mark of 20-12. "I feel I can win maybe 25 next year if everything goes right," he said. "I think any good pitcher ought to win 20 games a year if he's with a good ball club." Spahn, 33 years old last April and an old man as major legue pitchers go, pooh-poohed any idea that he is nearine the end of the I line. I "No. I don't think I'm eettins old," he said. "Why should I? I'm still throwing as good as I ever did and I'm a lot smarter than when I was a kid, too. My arm' is just as good as it ever was and I still throw only standard stuff. When I get so I have to use such stuff as a knuckler and a palm ball and those things, then I'll know I've had it." Yesterday's triumph, on his third try for his 20th victory this year, was Spahn's 165th in his 10 years of major fcague pitching all for the Braves.
