Sewell Drives Pirates Toward NL Lead as Vet Stays Afloat
Truett Banks Sewell, a 35-year-old southpaw, anchors the Pirates with a 9 game stretch and only two losses. He started with Detroit in 1932, wandered through the minors, then joined Pittsburgh in 1938. Now 16-5 in 1940 and possibly to face Chicago Cubs often, he fuels a strong third in the National League four games behind Brooklyn.
