Charley O'Leary. former Tiger, who
filled Hauser's shoes admirably In the
early spring. However, O'Leary IS
slowing UP. He can't cover the ground
and he hasn't the arm He never was

his arm hurts and the combination OF
two bad arms around second base has

Pivotal Position weakened.
The enemy is winning games from
the Cards by shooting hits over sec
