( ftitaiiquel is the first than ever
to play In the Texas Leagiue with
out being able iti speak a! wtml of
English. That Is, he didn't know
any a couple of week* ago. when
he arrived. His progress has been
amazing.
The tall, lithe young n|ian from
Caracas, venetuela, has been catch
ing the eyes of the fans; here as
Fopt Worth plays Dallas a series.
He is a fine fielder and a fair
hitter <12 hits in 52 times at bat).

The Texas League wasn’t Carra-
squel’s firpt stop. He was in spring
training with the Brooklyn Dod
gers squad and was shipped to
Montreal. But he didn’t; get to
play there. Fort Worth heeded a
man and Carrasquel was sent a-
long. . '] j
At first Alfonso—his teammates
call him Chico which, he'explains,
means pal or friend—bald to get
along with signs and ai bat boy
who spoke Spanish. Then jnine days
ago Cal Abrams came to the Cats.
Cal is fnprh Brooklyn arid speaks
Spanish. He not only communicates
what teammates want iGhico to
know bdtis helping the Venezuel
an leam English.
Chico knows “cut off,”[ “squeeze
play,” “Double play,” “J got it”
