I Today's Sport Parade II (Reg. U. S. Pat. Off.) By Milton Richman 0 - „ _ 0 NEW YORK UP — Ancient Satchel Paige called Robin Roberts “the No. 1 man in the game today,” but he insists the kid pitcher who dresses alongside him in the St. Louis Browns’ clubhouse will be “just as good some day.” “There’s no question in my mind that Robert," as Satch refers to the Philadelphia Phillie ace, “is the king-pin of all the pitchers in baseball. . I "But.” Paige added, pointing to the adjoining locker where 23-year old right hander Don Larsen was putting on his uniform, "this kid right here will be another Robert in another coupla years. “Yeah, yeah, I know ‘Long John,’ Paige's nickname for the six-foot ■four-inch Larsen, has won only two games and lost nine this yegr. So what? Look at the club he’s pitchin’ for! > ] , “Robert wouldn’t win nowhere near 18 games if he was pitchin' for this club. Anyone knows that. And Long John woulda* had about 10 wins if he was with the Phillies.” Paige fished'in his pocket for a cigarette, lit it and continued: “Right now, Long John is faster than Robert and he has a better curve ball. Nothiri’ wrong with his control, either. Mark my word, this here kid will win 20-25 games in a little while.” Satchel, who * pitched against Roberts in several exhibition contests and last saw him in the AllStar game at Cincinnati, paid tribute to the Phillie right hander's remarkable control. “He can cut that plate in little pieces,” he said. “Roberts doesn’t have much of a curve, though, does he?” somebody asked. “Man, he don’t need a curve the way he pitches. 1 never had a good curve, either, but it didn’t make no never mind. You I don’t need the curve if you got the other goods.” Paige then steered the conversation back to Larsen until finally the young rookie looked up and said: <, “You spreading sotne more propaganda, Satch?” "Yeah, Long John,” replied Paige, letting the smoke drift '.through his nostrils, “I’ve been rappin’ you pretty good." Larsen smiled, got up and walked over to the water cooler. Satch looked after him and said: “There' goes a real diamond in the rough. And w;hen he wins his 20-25, don’t forget 01’ Satch told ya so.” Play Again Saturday For Legidn Title I MAR ION, Ind.
