in training at Biloxi in the Spring and
slated for ahipment to the Washington
farm at Chattanooga before the season
got under way, Fischer developed q
curve ball almost overnight and since
has become the ace Of Johnson's

Carl now boasts a record of nine wins
against one loss, fine record for vet
eran and a great one for a pitcher who
came up only the middle Of last season
from A. A. A. circuit.
Fischer has a splendid winning streak
behind him, too for he has scored seven
successive victories. His last loss was
to the Yankees in New York on May g.
Since he has toppled the Tigers thres
times, the Indians twice, the White SoX
once and the Red Sox once. Before
dropping that game to the Yankees he
beat the New York club and also the
Red Sox.
He has not started against the Ath-
letics, but he did a neat bit Of relief
work against them in PhiladelphiR
Then he hurled five and two-thirds in

two hits.
Fischer eagerly yearns for q shot at
the Browns while out this way. He
has started against them twice, only to
be driven from the hill.
But believe I'll be ready for 'em
this time" says Carl. If he shows
against the Browns the. brand Of pitch
ing he has in facing the other clubs,
he'll more than likely prove he Is
