"They' said 1 wouldn't like playing
M the minors," mused old Anthony
Michael (Push -'Em -Up Tony) Las-
zeri, a few days ago. "They're crazy;
I love it. This aid game of base-
ball is substantially the same, no
matter where you play it. They're I
all asking me now how long I'in go-
ing before I retire. That's easy; I'm'
going to stick with baseball as long
as it wants me. I'm going to play
the game with eveything I have un-
til they kick me out --and that won't
be for a long time yet, I hope."
Tony likes his new poet as manager
of the Toronto Maple Leafs but says
he finds it all new and' different.
"It's one thing to go out and play
yourself and have somebody tell you
what to do in a tough situation," he
says, "and quite another when you
have to do the telling. But the boys
on my club are a great bunch of
guys. They're hustling all the time.
There's only oote thing I won't stand
for and that's being second-guessed."
"With this night ball I don't know
when to eat," old Push -'Em -Up says.
"Some of the boys say eat at two
o'clock; other say four. The first
couple of weeks I ate nothing but
sandwiches. Night baseball has been
the salvation of the minors all right
— but it sure plays hob with my
stomach."

he signed him without delay to a Tor-

away things began to happen.
In an exhibition game with Detroit
he had the great Hank Greenberg

his curve ball. They both went on
record as saying they had never seen
a sharper breaking curve, The team
came north and Phil started his first
league game before a crowd of
