Cubs Almost Dropped The Ball When Tried To Trade Pitchers
Cubs veteran pitchers Bill Lee and Claude Passeau were nearly traded last winter yet their combined 17 of 25 NL victories kept Chicago in contention. Passeau won his ninth with a five hit 7-1 over Philadelphia while Lee improved to eight. Passeau’s 11th straight complete game followed appendicitis. The Dodgers and Cardinals weathered a delay as Detroit and New York split a partial AL schedule, with Yankee catcher Buddy Rosar injuring a leg and Ed Kearse filling in. The Red Sox swept the Browns 8-7 on Jim Tabor’s ninth inning RBI and Cleveland rallied past Washington 8-6 with four ninth-inning runs.
