harder to get to the top at an ad-

And in these days Of the lively ball
the club that keeps up is the club
with the punch. Few others get
anywhere worth while It cannot be
said truthfully that the Bucks have
revealed much of punch lately, at
least not the punch of champion
ship club. During the present
Western trip. they have scored less
runs and made less hits than any
other club in the league.
Only 20 Runs in 10 Games.
In the ten games so far played on
the journey, the Harrismen have tai
lied 81 times with 73 hits. That they
have won four of the ten has been
due to some strength on the slab
more than anything else. But several
times the Bucks good hurting has
been more than matched by that of
the opposition. A club needs punch
as well as fine fiinging to get by
In the second game or the series
with the Browns yesterday, the
Harrismen had neither, Fred Mar

ing Browns, while Ernie Wingard,
although pitching in-and-out ball,
still was good enough to stop the
Buck batsmen. Seven safeties were
five of the Bucks hogging them.
Such an attack is not calculated to
gain much
Marberry was pie for the Browns
batters They smashed him hard in
the four innings he worked, getting
six hits for a trio of tallies. Specie
worked two rounds and gave up three
blows for a marker. while Russell
was nicked for two hits and a run
in a brace of innings.
Browns Start in Second.
The busy Brown batters began
their scoring stuff in the second in
ming. Jacobson slapped single to
territory for two bases, but JAKE
stopped at the far corner. SEVERED

short field. Gerber, though. shot
in Jacobson and Robertson.
Jacobson and Robertson also were
heavy contributors to the Browns
third run that came in the fourth.
Again Jake singled, to be doubled to
third by Gene. Then SEVERED lifted
counted after Leibold's catch.
The fourth run was made at
Species expense in the fifth. 1t was
due to Tobin's two-bagger. Evans

that followed Sisters retirement.
While Russell was hurting in the
eighth, McManus walked. was sacri-

The Bucks put men on in SIX in :
nings, but double plays twice baked
them and in only one of the two
frames that they clustered as many
as a brace of hits off Wingard were
they able to do anything eff
fective. That was the fourth. Harris
started it with a single, went to third
