to third. TVS throw to the far cor

walked, filing the bases. Bluege,
though, allowed a third strike to go
by and Peck flied to Cobb.
The Tigers came right back to
match that tally. Haney hit the first
ball pitched by Zachary to right for
a single and Manush hit the next to

wide throws and crowded the sta

The Nationals gave Leonard ANOTHER

In the fourth the Cobbmen did their
dirty work. Pratt began the rour
with a single to center, and Bluese

plate by a throw from Goslin, who
had fielded Leonards single, 1T ap-

enemy scoreless. But Haney'S pass
filled the sacks, and Mar ush. with
two strikes against him, hit into the
outfield stand for d home run.
The Bucks hit Leonard in every in

it got them nothing. Their greatest
threat to do more scoring came in
the ninth that Rice started with a

that crossed Haney, and there were
Bucks on first and second bases. But

contender. Leibold has jumped his
average up to the 800 mark, and
should Washington represent the
American League in the world series
/ believe Harris and Griffith would
give Leibold the preference over
McNeely in center field because of
Nemo's greater experience.
However, Leibold in the past has
been mediocre world series player.
He was one of the honest White Sox
in the 1919 White Sox-Cincinnati
series, but despite the fact that he
really tried, he hit only .05s, getting
only one hit in five games.
McNeely appears to be good pros
pect, and has the earmarks of a
promising player. He started to hit
very well when Griffith first brought
him East from Sacramento, and he
still is listed over 300. One never
