The Bucks record for the first
Western trip of the year was eight
victories and seven defeats. The In
dians were responsible for the bulky
loss side of the record, walloping the
Bucks four straight times. Incidental
ly, the Tribe is the only league rival
to have the bulge on the Harrismen
so far this season. OF the twelve
games in which these clubs have
clashed, seven have been won by

May Overhaul Tribe.
However. the Indians got a great
start against the Nationals last year
only to flop quickly. The club Bush
took into the Forest City for the first
time in 1923 was soundly drubbed,
then the Tribe came here and lar
rupped the home crowd numerically.
Thereafter, the Indians were COM
paratively easy for the Nationals And
after poor start this season. the
Harrlsmen ca me back brilliantly
against the Spokemen. History may
repeat itself.
The Browns have given the Bucks
more of tuSsle than the Tigers and
the White Sox. Ten games have been
PLAYED with the Sislerites, with each
ciub bagging five. Six of the eleven
tits with the Cobbmen have come the
way of the local aggregation. while
one was deadlocked. Up to today, the

The seventh win over the Chisox
was a 4-to-2 affair registered yester-
Gay and the Bucks were to try for
their eighth victory over the Evers-
men this afternoon in a game con-
ciudlng the longest home stand of
the campaign. Walter Johnson was
expected to toe the slab for the locals
with George Connally doing the fling
ing for the Windy City bunch.
Faber Has Poor Round.
In beating the Chisox yesterday the
Bucks disposed of Urban Faber. vet
eran Spitball pitcher, who has hurled
as brilliantly as in other years since
recovering from an operation per-
formed on his arm at the outset of
the season. Faber stabbed excellent
ly against the Bucks, except in their
scoring inning, and may have been
damaged just a trif1e less then with
better support.
But at that the home clan deserved
TO get flock of runs with three sin
giles and a brace of passes in that
frame. Outside of it they got but
gave way to pinch batter in the
eighth. SO in their portion of that
round the Bucks faced the slants of
Southpaw Mike Cvengros. They
nlcked him for two bingles that got
nothing.
Opposing Faber and Cvengros was
Fred Marberry. and Fred did a deal
of pins-andneedles pitching before
turning in his sixth victory of the
year. The Chisox banged him for
ten safeties, including a double by
Bib Falk, in addition to getting three
passes, and had runners on the paths
in six of their nine frames. But Fred
managed to get by in every inning

the SoX all their tallies
Pass Starts Rally.
In the first three rounds the Buck
got only one man on, but IAhs' -

failed to hold one of Faber's pitches
to third as the catcher made a wild
heave trying to trap the little fellow

to Grouse, but Goslin with a Texas

Goose pilfered second and kept on
to third as CrouSe'S throw went on
to center field. F'aber walked Judge,
and Ruel singled Goslin home and
Joe to third. Harris singled Judge
to the plate. and the hit was deep
enough to let Ruel reach the far cor
ner. Then came q squeeze play in
which Ruel made the fourth score of
the inning, while Faber took Peck's
bunt and tossed to Collins for a re-
tirement at first Marberry ended the
inning with foul to Grouse.
The Sox got busy in the next in
