Spahn Enters 20
Game Win Circle
by THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MILWAUKEE UB-The first left
handed pitcher in National League
history ever to win 20 games in
six different seasons figures to
keep right on going.
Warren Spahn, only the fourth
National League hurler in modern
annals to hit the 20 mark that
many times, said yesterday after
posting 6-2 win over Cincinnati
for the Milwaukee Braves that he
thought hed do even better next
season. 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.
