Ted has appeared in 21 of the Cardin; 61 games, 1 in relief Besides the three he received cre- 1 dit for, he has saved seven others. He has permitted only 25 hits in |45 inmings. Clyde Shoun has done almost | equall as well for the front- running Braves. The veteran left- hander has pitched in 16 games, 15 in relief.
