Passeau | Is Under 1 | 0ld Boss 0ld Workhorse Expects Good Year with Chicago | Cubs as Pitcher By MORTIMER KRIEGER AP Feature Service LUCEDALE, Miss, March 12. — When Jimmy Wilson calls his Chi- cago Cubs together at Catalina he'll be pleased to find among them Claude = Passeau, one of his old workhorses at Philadelphia who has blossomed into one of baseball's most effective pitchers. The big Lucedale farmer was one of only five pitchers to win 20 or more games in the majors last season. Three of the others were on pennant winning clubs and the fourth, Bob Feller, was with the Cleveland Indians who finished sec- ond by an eyelash. Passeau won 20 and lost 13 for the Cubs who came in fifth, drop- ping more games than they won. His earned run average was 250 ‘and he fanned more than 100 bat- ters, For several seasons Passeau was just another of the hurlers who paraded to the mound for a few innings as the Phillles lost another ball game. His record was better than those of his mates, but— well, he was with the Phils. To Cubs in '39 In 1939 he went to the Cubs, after winning two and losing four at Philadelphia, The rest of the season he won 13 and lost 9, and his earned’ run average — which had usually been well over four STARS FROM TEXAS GO TO BIG LEAGUE By FELIX R.
