Paul spent 7 years in the minors and 3 years in Military Service, before he got his first Big League trial with the Pirates in 1951. His best minor league years were 1946 at Bristol (20 wins and 181 Strikeouts) and 1949 at Hartford (14 wins and 162 Strikeouts). His 2.47 Earned Run Average at New Orleans in '50 earned Paul his trial. In '51 he had a 1-1 mark at Indianapolis and 2-2 at New Orleans.
Although Al appeared in 47 games for the Indians in 1953, 1954 was his first full season in the majors. He appeared in a total of 131 games, most of them as an outfielder, although he played some at third. His batting average was .281. He had 135 hits, which included 29 doubles, 6 triples and 11 homers. He drove in 50 runs and scored 101. He began in 1948 with Wilkes-Barre, spending two seasons with them. Then he spent two years each with San Diego and Indianapolis, coming to the majors towards the end of his second season with Indianapolis.
Although new to the major leagues this year, Lou Chiozza of the Philadelphia Nationals, can field with any of the veter- ans. By his knack of playing the ball for its good bounce, he makes many a hard grounder look easy. Never rush at the ball headon and take your chance on getting it at the top of bounce. You will save your- self many an error by studying the ball as it approaches and either moving up a few steps or back to get it between hops. This of course does not apply to slow rollers and a fast running hitter. Then you have to roar in and take your chances with a bad hop, to get the ball over with an underhand snap of the wrist.
