Against every other one of their
seven rivals the Nationals hold an ad-
vantage on the season ranging from
two games over the Hugmen to six
games on the ChsoX.
The setback received from the In
dians yesterday, when Stan Coveles-
kie. the polished Polish spitball ma
nipulator. outpitched Jezebel Tecum-
sch Zachary by wide margin to
achieve a 81 verdict, not only pre-
cluded the possibility of the Bucks
gaining an edge over the Redskins
for the season, but made it necessary
for them to make a clean sweep of
the four battles remaining between
them to get so good as an even break.
Mogridge Faces Tribe Today.
To George Mogridge veteran south
paw of the local roster, will be in
trusted the task of leading the Bucks
to victory in the first leg of the jour
ney today when the final fracas of
the current series is staged with the
Indians at Clark Griffith Stadium.
The wrong font ROcheSterian gave a
fine exhibition of finging on the oc
caSion of his most recent start in
Chicago last Sunday, when he let the
White Snx down with half dozen
bingies and attained d 4-2 triumph,
but in View of the fact that George
today probably will be opposed by
Joe Shaute. Il forKhanGer. who. with
an inferior club, has achieved practi-
cally twice as many victories, would
indicate the local lefthander is fac
ing tough assignment.
