NEW YORK "Which of your
rookies is worth a story?" Manager
Eddie Sawyer of the Phillies was
asked as he put on one of his
bright red soc kj during his last
visit to the Polo Grounds.
"You can write about Bob
Miller," was his frank reply.
Two- days later Miller, n 23-
year-old rookie pitcher made his
first 'major league start a winning
one, handcuffing the Boston
Braves, 2-1.
Few people had ever heard of
Bub Miller before, except around
Detroit, Younf.stowii, O., and the
Three I League (Indiana, Iowa
and Illinois). '
But four big league clubs be
sides the Phillies were after him
back in 1947.
"It was even before 1947 that
Detroit was interested." says the
six-foot-three 190 pounder. "The

bush too much after I lost two
Catholic high school city finals to
Art Jtoutteman in Rriggs Stadium.
That wan before I had 26 months in
the Infantry." Houtteuian today is
Detroit's top pitcher.
Miller, after one month of com
bat on northern Luzon during six
months In the Philippines, spent a
year in Japan where he pitched
the entire summer of 1940,
"Before I went into the Army
I pitched American Lesion ball
around Detroit," says Miller. "I
was on the same team with Stan
Lopata. It was a big thrill to
have him cath my first big
league victory against the
Braves."
Incidentally, it was a poor throw
by Lopata that led to the only run
the Braves scored. It came in the
first inning and was unearned.
Miller's victory over the Braves
ran his biij league unearned run
record to 13 straight scoreless in

TARHEEL WILDLIFE SKETCHES
TAKE A BOY FISHING
V.'
JjETWtF.N the innocence of babyhood and
the d'gnity of manhood we find a delight
ful creature called a boy. Boys come in
assorted sizes, weights and colors, but all
boys have the same creed: To enjoy every second
of every minute of every hour of every day and
to protect with noise (their only weapon 1 when
their last minute is finished
anf the adult males pack
them off to bed at night.
Boys are found everywhere on top of,
underneath, inside of, climbing on, swing
ing from, running around, or jumping to.
Mother love them, little girls hate them,
older sisters and brothers tolerate them,
adults ignore them, and! Heaven protects
them. A boy is Truth with dirt on its face.
Beauty with a cut on its finger, Wisdom
with bubble gum in its hair, and the Hope
of the future with a frog in its pocket.
A boy rs a composite he has the appetite
of horse, the digestion of a sword swallower,
the energy of a pocket-size atomic bomb, the
curiosity of a cat, the lungs of a dictator, -the
imagination of a Paul Bunyan, the shyness
of a violet, the audacity of a cracker,
and when he makes something he
has five thumbs on each hand. ""
He likes ice cream,
knives, saws, Christ
mas, comic books, the
boy across the street,
woods, water (in its
natural habitat), large
animals, Dad, trains, Saturday mornings, and
fire engines. He is not much for Sunday School,
company, schools, books without pictures,
music lessons, neckties, barbers, girls, overcoats
adults, or bedtime. ,
Nobody else is so early to rise, or so
late to supper. Nobody else gets so much
fun out of trees, dogs, and breezes. No
body else can cram, into one pocket a
rusty knife, a half-eaten apple, 3 feet of
string, an empty Bull Durham sack, 2
gum drops, and 6 cents.
A boy is a magical creature you can
lock him out of your workshop, but you
can't lock him out of your heart. Might
as well give up he is your captor, your
jailer,, your boss, and your
master a freckle-faced, pint

noise. But when you come

In two relief efforts this spring
he blanked both the Dodgers and

It was at Youngstown ' in 1947

"I met Eddie Krajtiik, the

wanted te shrn me but I liked the
Phillies' terms and sicrned the
following: January while still at

Miller is a bonus player one of
the four on the Phil roster. He
received slightly more than the
$6,000 baseball allows free agents
before they are classified as bonus
players.
"I pitched at the university in
