contest, and they just about handed
Spoke and his warriors the battle on
Il silver platter. But Zach's pitching
habits have changed for the better
lately. and he ought to make an in
teresting Saturday afternoon for the
Tribe.
The Bucks are to begin their series
here with their greatest batting
strength in the field. Tom Taylor,
who was out of a couple of the W hlte
Sox games at home because of a
cold that needed drastic treatment,
will be back at third base, and should
give the club a bit more punch than
it has with Ossie Bluege in the line
up. In all but one of his games in
Washington Taylor had every APP
pearance OF hitter-not one of the
slugging type, but of batter likely
to meet the ball fairly and often.
Taylor Hits to All Fields.
Taylor, too, seems to have the
happy knack of socking the ball to
all fields. So far, he has knocked 'em
high and low to various parts of the
pastures, and he is fast enough to
make all the opposition hustle to get
him out on ground taps. Atield, Tay-
Tor may rot be the sensational player
that BlueSe has been, but he covers
the territory around the third sack
most acceptably, and has been good
at handling those troublesome drives
directly at the third bag
While Harris had originally in
tended to employ Wild Matthews in
the outfield against some right hand
pitchers, Memo Leibold has been hit

chance for Wild or any one lese to
break into center field Floyd Scott,
recent purchase from Kansas City
was supposed to report to the Bucks
here. but he probably will have to
show Manager Harris great deal
before getting a regular berth.
The Bucks are opening their sec
ond Western trip in a second place
tie with the Yankees and just half a
game behind the leading Tigers as a
result of d 7to-5 victory over the
Chisox in Clark Griffith Stadium

Two pitchers were needed to turn
the trick against the White SoX.
Walter Johnson had to retire after a
fifth-inning bombardment, but Allen
Russell held the enemy at bay the
remainder of the way, while the
Bucks hit Gorham Leverett hard
enough to knot the count in the fifth
and went on to victory at the ex-
penSe of Mike Cvengros, who started
the sixth round. Ted Lyons also
came to the hill in the sixth, but the
Bucks had tucked away their fourth
win in the five starts in the series
against the Chisox.

The Chisox began denting the plate
in the second inning. Sheely got a
pass off Johnson and was singled to

Mcclellan also bunted for squeeze
play that tailed Sheely.
Another marker for the visitors
was hung up in the third. Two were

his third single of the game. Bluege

Leibold, though, got his fourth hit Of
