5teVo ONelu neb Cno noJtceC oE~ ray in either major wheel right now. Apparently hopelessly relegat- cd to the second division and i3 games behind the Ruppert Rifles, the Redmen launched their second eastern swing ct Yankee Stadium on July 9. Their home stand had been none too successful and they had been Q natoriously poor road squad for years.
 So 1t was that their bagging nine straight and 10 of i2 on the, Atlantic seaboard attracted no lit- tie attention. And now that they're back in League Park, with oil hands drawing beads on the short right Held wall, anything can happen,
 A vote of confidence for O'Neill in the form of another years con- tract may have something to do with the Injuns' spurt.
 Cured of Q threatened attack of stomach ulcers, which caused him to lay awake nights last season, Hal T'rosky again is pulverizing the pellet ct the gait which prompted Connie Mack to nominate him as Bab Ruths successor in 1884. The big Iowa blond is leading both ma jor loops in the highly important matter of driving in runs.
 PytIak Gives Clever Catching
 Earl Averill is well on his way to collecting Q bonus for a "satisfac- tory" batting average which is now .363, and has batted in more runs than any other center fielder in the junior circuit.
 Frankie Pytlak, apparently no longer worried about the mystc- rious ailment that drove him to quitting the outfit the past two summers, is catching, hitting, throw ing, and running the bases like tho Ray 5chalk he promised to be.

latter two potential stars; Dennis 0aiehouse, Q well.seasoned recruit who arrived" with the hot weather, and George Blaeholder and Lloyd Brown, crafty old heads. Tn the bullpen is Willis Hudlin, for whom the Boston Red sox offered eSO,00O.
 Others have contributed to the Indians sudden reversal of form. Joe Vosmik once more found the range. There is the polished Bill Knickerbocker at shortstop and the improved Bad News Hale ct third base. Roy Hughes plugged the gap at second.
 WeatherIy Supplies Extra Punch
 But 1t wasn't until squatty 2is year-old kid checked in from New orleans that the Redskins cofsl- menced to click. The effect that Roy Weatherly has had on the lll- dians is Q striking example of what ono inspired athlete can do for Q ball club.
 Cy slapnicka, the old pitcher who is business chief of the Indians, sent for Weatherly, Q left-handed hit- ter, when things were at their worst. Jimmy 0leeson, also up from the Pelicans and who started the seas son, wouldn't do in right field. Due to his desperate illness, Bruce Campbell could not stand tho steady grind.
 Weatherly, who is remindful Of Joey sewell ct the plate, would have been along sooner had he not had c small bone in his left arm broken by pitched ball in the Southern Association.
 This is only the third year out for Weatherly, Q native Texan of good speed, but he got right into the thick of things like an old troupor. He awakened Averill, Vosmik, and the rest, and gave the Indians that extra punch that lifts c club out OF the ordinary.
 They may Ind Q weakness in young Weatherlys armor, but right now he's going for those extra bases with c mark of .300 and taking tho Indians with him.

 Nice boys, those Phillies-so con. sidsrats, 90 thoughtful, 70 gener. Uusl
 But we can't blame t all on the boyS themselves. A young man by the name of Cy Blanton--the pitch- ing comet Of io3S flashed some of his brilliancy of last season, swiShed his tail of stardust on the Wilson- men and dimmed their batting eyes.
 Six Hits for Phlllies
 Turning loose . beautiful curve bell that spun up to the plate, took . nose dive and then disappeared Into nothingness he famed eight of the Phils, permitted them six hits and did not give base on balls.
 In view of this it is easy to un. derstand why the score was iO-i In 9avor Of the visitors.
 Only Lou ChloEza, the fighting Scandinavian from Naples, Dolph Camilli, the scrappy Nordic from Genoa, and Jose Gomez, the bellig- erant ATyan from Mexico City, were able to ind something where appar. ently nothing existed.
 ChoizzR made three hits In four times ct bat while CemllIi scored the only run for the Phiis with Q homer over the right field wall with the bases nude in the seventh in. ming and Gomez connected for c pair Of f1eaaingleg6 singles.
 While Blanton was performing c Houdini on the mound the Pirates were pretty fresh with Claude Pas- Seau--our own find of the l038 seq. soa--and Orviile JorgenS, his Suc- Cesgor.
 Passeau got of to Q bad start in the first inning when the Pirates scored two runs after two were out and took Q two-one lead. The next four innings were gcoreloss but in the fifth the Bucs added three more when Wilbur Brubaker, third baseman, hit a home run into the lest field bleacherS with two men on base.
 After this display of batting pyro- tecnicS, which put the Pirates in front, 6.0, there was nothing much lekt for the phillies to do except take their gloves and bats and 60 home.
 But the rules of baseball decree nine innings, unless darkness, earth. quAko or riot force the calling of the game. As 6 result, tho struggle went three more innings, and aS Q result of this superfiuity the BucS tailied i've additional runs, one more or Pass0au in the seventh and four more off Jorgeng in the ninth.
 CamillPS riotouB bust into Broad street In the seventh, which gave the Wilsonmen their lone counter, was tho only bit of sugar in the bowl Of lemon juice for the phils.
 Now, for the sake of the record only, Wo give you the PittSburg runs in brief. With two out in tho first inning, suhr and Vaughan hit singles to score Waner, who had singled. guhr and Vaughan then negotiated . double steal.
 Homer for Brubaker
 Tn the sixth euhr and Vaughan hit for one base and Wilbur Dru. baker smashed . home run into the leftheid bloacherg. one inning later Jensenb double and Paul Wanors safety sent another counter over.
 Tn tho ninth hits by Jensen and Paul Waner, bases on balls to guhr and Brubaker and q double by Pad. den pushed four final runs over the plate.
