The first meeting between the Bucks
East this year, but there was so much
rain in May that only ten games
could be played in the intersectioRai
series in Washington. The Harris,
men then got an even break, but did
better when they invaded the West in
June. Eight victories against seven
defeats were recorded at that time.
This month 20 games were played in
the National Capital with Western
outfits. OF them, the Bucks won II,
lost and tied l.
Ogden Most Successful.
1t is interesting to note the rec
ords of the National hurlers against
these American League clubs in the
Great Lakes region and on the Mis-
sissippi. SO far, only Walter johnson
and George Mogridge have scored
over all of the quartet, yet neither
of these pitchers has the most I'M
posing record Of Harris staff in the
intersectional series. That honor
goes to Warren Ogden. who has won
five or six games pitched against
these outfits.
Curly has subdued the White Sox
and Tigers twice and the Indians
once. He attempted to take the
measure of the Browns in Washing
ton not so long ago. but was beaten
by a last-minute rally of the opposi-
ton.

George Mogr;dge is next IN line,
with four wins and three defeats

This veteran forkhander has pointed
the way to each American League

Marberry has won twice from the

But Freddie's path was made difficult
for him before nc entered most of
the games. He was rushed into trays
as relief hurier while opponents were
in vicious batting moods and under

Martina probably will start the
games. in the series here, although no |
definite slate has been prepared.
When In Cleveland before. Harris was
aver.e to using Ogden. While he has |
won a vast majority of his games, he |
needs a deal nf fielding behind him. |
Opposing batsr'rn seem to hit his |
pitches high and deep, and Dunn |

Of stuff The NationHl outfie!ders |
would not ha"" ctT"r" to get to the |
ball before it hit a wall.
Johnson YVES not ID here IN the |
last series because he was suffering |
with cod and Walter is none too |
we'll at present. Nor is Mogridges |
hurting arm in very good condition. |
So it appears that the quartet men
toned will get the mound assign |
ments against the Tribe, with Rus |
sell and Byron Specie being held in |
reserve.
