The decays {Upsilon}(4S) {yields} B{bar B}, followed by B {yields} D*{pi} and D* {yields} D{pi}, permit reconstruction of all kinematic quantities that describe the sequence without reconstruction of the D, with reasonably low backgrounds. Using an integrated e{sup +}e{sup -} luminosity of 3.1 fb{sup -1} accumulated at the {Upsilon}(4S) by the CLEO-II detector, we report measurements of {Beta}({bar B}{sup 0} {yields} D*{sup +}{pi}{sup -}) = (2.81 {+-} 0.11 {+-} 0.21 {+-} 0.05) x 10{sup -3} and {Beta}(B{sup -} {yields} D*{sup 0}{pi}{sup -}) = (4.34 {+-} 0.33 {+-} 0.34 {+-} 0.18) x 10{sup -3}.
