If Jezebel Tecumseh Zachary gets
back from his North Carolina home,
where he was called a week ago by
the death of his father. the problem
of a pitcher for the other half of
the matinee will be solved. otherwise
the boy pilot will take a chance with
one of his younger boNmen. Curley
Ogden being the most probable.
With Whitehill eliminated from
consideration, T. Raymond Cobb had
considerably more quantity than
quality in fingers to pick from for
mound duty. but it was considered
likely that old George Dauss would
get a chance and this veteran is apt
to provide formidable opposition any
time he tolls.
Leonard Is Punished.
Twelve hits for a total of II bases
was the extent of the damage done
to the repertoire of Hubert Leonard
on the occasion of his first start
since he jumped to the outlaws fol-
lowing salary dispute with Big
Boss Navin more than a year ago.
The pudgy lefthander was eagerly
grabbed by the BengalS after he had
promised to be good boy in the
hope he would bolster their slab staf
for the final dash down the stretch,
but Judged by his showing yesterday
.
ated during his absence from the big
show.
Z. Vernon ZahniSer was delegated
to do the hurting chores, but came
a cropper early in the fray. Fritz
Marberry then took up the burden
and after staggering a bit carried
it we'll until Allen Russell showed up
to finish the job.
Helpless for the first two rounds the
Jungle Cats leaped on Zahniser and
chased their trio of runs over in the
third. Rigney walked at the outset
and took third on Bassler's ripping
rap down the right field line. Rig
ney tailed when Leonerd hit into a
double play initiated by Harris. Jones
and ORourke then doubled in success
sion and when Cobb followed with
slash close to second that Harris
succeeded in merely knocking down,
three runs were over. This finished
Zahniser and brought Marberry to the
mound. Heilmann then got life when
Bluege slipped up and Wingo also was
safe when Harris fumbled, but Buckley
recovered the ball and pegged to Ruel,
who tagged Cobb sliding into the
platter. That ended the Bengals
scoring for the day.
Bucks Start In Third.
Unable to profit from Harris single,
4 walk to Rice in the opener, or
RueIs safety in the next session, the
Bucks annexed a pair of markers in
the following frame. With Marberry
set down on strikes McNealy walked
and, after Harris had lofted, Rice
shot double to left center and put
McNealy on third, and the corners
were crowded when Goslin drew a
free ticket. Judge accounted for the
tallies at this juncture with sizz-
ling jolt to right, but was left with
the Goose when Cobb got under
Blueges drive close to the barrier
in left center.
With bit of assistance from the
enemy, Bucky's men contrived to knot
the count in the fourth. Ruel started
with a Texas Lacquer to center, but
died trying to stretch it on Rigney's
heave to O'Rourke. Peck then slashed
a double past the far corner, took an
extra base when Wingo fumbled the
ball, and scored, following Marberry's
death, on singing single to center
by McNeely.
singles by Peck and Rice in the next
two frames got the Griffs nowhere,
but they forged to the front in round
8, Leonard falling by the way in the
procedure. Goslin had died, when
Judge lined his second double in a
row against the right-field fence. and
promptly tailed on Bluege's two-base
poke to left center. After hurting
two wide ones to Ruel, Leonard was
replaced by Holloway. who COM
pleted the job of passing Muddy, and
then chucked four wide ones to Peck
to fill the bases. Leibold was sent in
to bat for Marberry, and after look
ing over three wide ones, hoped on
= cripple for safety to center that
cashed Bluege and Ruel. McNeely
then hit into a double play.
