Lee himself holds the RECORD for con-

when he scored five victories in a week.
Lee has to win two more games to
make good his prediction printed In the

a game, that he would win at least six
straight game as soon as he got started.

The fact that the Skeeters are not as
strong against southpaw pitchers as
~right-handers does not detract the least
from Wyatt Lees remarkable work.
Wyatt has been predicted right along In
these columns, while some of the wise
ones were advocating the 'tin can for
Lee, would become as good as ever as
soon as the atmosphere warmed UP n lit
tie. Joe McGinnity. too, was advised to
drop Lee but the Iron Nam knew more
about Lee thai the "oracles" and today
Lee is the king-pin of the Tigers pitch

able work Newark has won five of the
last seven games, Lee being credited
with four of the five Victories. 1t was
Lee who broke Newark's losing streak
after the Tigers had dropped five
straight a week ago today. He defeated
his old teammates, the Leafs, in a
ga game that was a gruelling contest.

Well. we captured the series just
closed; took two out of three from the
Pests. and, besides, we had the sweet
distinction of being the first team in the
league to best the Pests in Il series this
season. If 1t had not rained on Wedies-

Larry Schlany must feel toward Wyatt
Lee pretty much like w. T. feels toward
T. X. Larry got Lee his job with the
Tigers. and now, when Larry is making a
struggle to keep In the front of the In
tarnational League procession, Lee crimps
him by taking two out of three from
Larry's pets" or Pests" 1t depends
on whihc side of the meadow you live.
We. had a bunch all along that the
Skeeters would be weak against left
handed finging. Sixty per cent. of the
Insects defeats have been due to south
paw fingers on the opposing teams That
was why Larry schlafy wanted Jack
Kelly. Kelly has no respect for either
right-handed or left-handed pitching.
Larry said last night he was certain that
the acquisition of Kelly would make his
team equally effective against s~outhpaws
as against tho s~tarboarders ''sf we are
still weak said Larry, I'm go after
every %southpaw In the league and nail him
at any expense. We're out for that pen
nant.' A staff of southpaw pitchers with
only one or two right-handers would in
deed be unique. Larry already has three
offside fingers in Frill, Doescher and
Swift.
Following out the same string of logic,
we wonder il John Camel diagnosed the
Ekeeters' weakness in the same way, rec
ognized hat Larry had a dangerous
team, and In his ambition to win four
straight flags laid aside his prejudice
against southpaws, and for the first time
IN four years has a left-hander on his
pitching staff In Clark.
