Newcombe, couldn’t get any-
body out in Flatbush in 1957
and went completely to pot
with the aging outfit which
moved to Los Angeles last year.
Finally in mid-June the
Dodgers from whom he did so
much gave up on him. They
sent him to Cincinnati for
Johnny Klippstein and Steve
Bilko, who as an Angel in the
Pacific Coast League hit home
runs like breaking sticks.
Newcombe arrived in the
Rhiheland in time to save
Birdie - Tebbetts, but didn’t,
and wasn't much as Jimmie
Dykes hoisted the Reds from
last to fourth.
But the deal now has turned
out to be one of Gabe Paul’s
good ones, for Newcombe went
on a protracted winning streak
as the Reds’ lone stopper. Op-
posing players tell you he is
almost as fast as he was in
World Series and that he mixes
up his pitches as never before.
Paul ran out of duck in his
swapping. A deal with Pjtts-
meri at a fat man's picnic.
