farm team, is now with St. Paul
of the American Association lea­
gue, according to the Sporting
News published in St. Louis, Mo.
In the first game of the season,
Nishita, -who played one year in
the professional baseball league
in Japan, came in as a relief
pitcher for St. Paul and hurled
to one batter.
Nishita was expected to be
with Montreal this year, but it
appears how that he may not ■
make it. He was farmed out to
Fort'Worth, in the Texas league
last year and did well enough to
win a ticket for a crack at AAA
ball in St. Paul. However, there
are no indications at present that
Nishita will step up to the majors
at the moment.
