Spitter Used
By UNITED PRESS
Leo Durocher ranked Giants
ace Sal Maglie with baseball's
Hall of Fame immortals Wednes
day, declaring that "the guy is
even a better pitcher than Grov
er Cleveland Alexander."
But the Dodgers, who had just
bitten the dust, 3 to 0, as Maglie
shut them out for the second
straight time, to win his ninth
game in a row, claimed that all
of the black-haired right-hander's
magic wasnt' legal.
Jackie Robinson, following up
the charge of Cincinnati Mana
ger Luke Sewell that Maglie
throws a spitter, claimed that on
several occasions he noticed the
ball definitely was wet.
Pure Hokum
Maglie retorted that was pure
hokum, and displayed a hand,
blackened with resin, which is
legal, and said, "How could I
throw a spitter with that,"
The Giants, building up the
rhubarb, also countered with the
charge that Dodger pitcher
Preacher Roe Is the one who
slips in the outlawed spitball
when he can get away with it.
Durncher, comparing Maglie
with the late Alexander, who
was long ago elected to the Hall
of Fame, said, "Sal's curve is
better and his fast ball is just
as good, although it doesn't dip
down as much."
