a home run into the left field bleachers
Dutch Leonard, the lcft-hand pitcher
who stood first in the American League
averages last season, had more than an
edge in his duel with Ray Caldwell. 1t

does a good deal Of shifting for hitters,
but no trio seen here this year has
been so radical in its tactics or so sue
Cessful in its artiClpstlons as Hooper
