More Woes for Eagles Alan Cassill
Thursday, October 24th , 1974
First Alan Cassill got hurt and suffered a broken bone in his hand. Now he is going to miss even more games. Treatment was going well until yesterday when the Eagles right fielder overextended himself in a workout and suffered a setback. The Washington medical staff have now revised his recovery time to at least 2-3 months.

Alan Cassill is expected to undergo surgery in Washington(District of Columbia) tomorrow.

This season, Cassill has banged out 151 hits in 585 at-bats for a .258 average with 10 home runs. He is getting on base at a .348 pace and his totals also include 46 RBIs and 96 runs scored.

Monday, October 21st , 1974
Magic was in the air and on the mound at Allegheny Field, as Frank Combs held the Houston Drillers spellbound in his 8-0 shutout victory. The Pittsburgh Industrials pitcher went the distance, rang up 9 strikeouts, walked 0, and held the Drillers to 2 hits.

"He just had us in his thrall," Houston manager Jared Placeholder said. "We couldn't put anything together against him."

Combs has started 34 times this year, pitched 252 innings, fanned 169 batters and walked 60. His current record is 19 wins and 8 losses with a 3.29 ERA.
