The Housing Authority held an informal meeting immediate ly and agrecd to. make the change. Scheffing Lauds Rookie Pitcher New York IP Manager Bob Scheffing feels his last place Chicago Cubs could pro duce the National league's Rook ie of the Year in 20-year-old pitch Dick Drott. The right-handed Drott, whe popped into prominence when he struck out 15 Milwaukee batters on May 26, currently has a 4-6 record but Scheffing claims that if misleading. "His record easily could have been the other way around if the ball had bounced right for us in some of the games he pitched." Scheffing said. "Here is a kid whp is one of the best young pitchers in our league (Tfjht now and he could become one of the real greats." While Drott shocked the baseball world with his per formance gainst the Brave' two weeks ago, he didn't partic ularly surprise Scheffing. "I Yud Drott with Los Angeles in the Pacific Coast league last season and he was the strike out sensation of the league."
