Needs Triple to Reach Second.

CABBY'S been missing a lot Of
triples this season-and the fans
don't mind it bit. He needs a good
triple to reach second He puffs and
he grunts and he sweats as he goes
roaring into the bag with the speed
of an old tractor, and one almost can
hear him say "Whewww :" as he
squats on the sack and grins at the
stands.
But while he's grinning and taking
his ease for = moment there usually
are two or three runners scampering
across the plate on his timely hit
Of which there have been many this
season. His batting average Of .39l
tops his team, and through Sundays
game he had hit safely in % straight
contests. He doubled with the bases
loaded against the New York Giants
Saturday and on Sunday drove in
two more runs with a double and q
single.

Washingtons were a strangely
cheerful troupe today First,
they had the day off to rest weary
backs that had swung nightly and
futilely at Bob Feller's fast ball
Secondly, they held their third
straight series victory and were looking
forward to another when the Browns
invade tomorrow. And, thirdly, they
are glad now that young Mr.. Feller
lean League before he was sent against
them as a starter.
The Mats hope it is another year
and half before he pitches to them
again. Limiting the local firm to
seven hits and striking out nine, Feller
coasted to that ll-2 victory yesterday
as nearly $4,000 customers witnessed
the first bona flde unveiling of the
Indians pitching prodigy.
Meanwhile, with the Tribe and
Feller on their way to Boston, the
Mats were looking forward with relish
to the invasion of the Browns for a
three-game series. 1t was against
jim Bottomley's crew in st. Louis that
Washington acquired its habit of
winning lately. 1t was week ago that
1t returned from ST. Louis with a
four-game winning streak, which later
was to be increased to six in a row.
This helped nightly in achieving
9 wins IN the last l3 games and
revivlng hopes Of yet finishing in the
first division.

After Schalk's Record.

IT TAKES Gabby usually a half
hour to work his way from the dug
out to the dressing room. It's Hello
Gabby," here. handshakes there and
autographs all along the line. And
after him floats the comment OF kids

Frankly, Gabby would like to be-
come 4 manager, but not before he
breaks the l.721 total-games-played

man" backstop. Gabby, having just
passed the 1900 mark, has a long
way to 60. but he keeps rolling along
so steadily that many fans are giving
him two more seasons OF action.
In his entire career he's dropped
only three pop flies. It happened once

The rotund Chicago Cubs
catcher, who'll be 81 next December

A roar of applause greets him every

the way he comes out Of the dugout-

OyerShadOWs Cubs Showing,

1T OVERSHADOWED even the run
away the Cubs, who, with six
game lead, are starting to make of
the National League chase and the
impending Yankee White Sox series
for the American League laurels.
Mungo. ailing since just before the
all-star game, hasn't pitched since
July 18. In the hopes it would help,
he has had his tonsils yanked. Hub
bell hasn't won game since July 10.
In his last three starts he lasted Just
six innings against the Cubs and three
against the Cards, and, on Friday,
was belted again by the Cubs.
Deans dismal doings date also to
the all-star game. A batted drive
bounced off one of Dizzys big toes
that day and the great one now is
well-liked cousin" to opposition
batters. He hasn't won a game since
July 4. Yesterday, against his peren-
NAL pushovers, the Brooklyn Dodgers
he lasted only through the sixth and
was tagged with 7-3 whipping in a
double-header opener. The Cards
came back to take the nightcap, IL,
behind Lon Warneke but that didn t
make Dean look any better.

Will Give Line on GevinsOn.

GUS weight advantage is not ex-
pected to be a determining factor
In the outcome. however, since Joey
has built himself up to l24 pounds
while Gevinson was forced by contract
to weigh in at not more than 12e
pounds today.
The fight, to local ringworms
means gaining a more definite line
on the ability of Gevinson. who was a
sensation in amateur ranks locally
and nationally, but who still is on
trial after five engagements in pro-
fessional circles. He has won four of
these, losing decision to Johnny
Pena, whom he later kayoed.
Archibald, on the other hand
started as preliminary boy here
gaining a decision over Buddy Grimes
in his debut. Since then he success
sively has moved down Lawrence
Gum, Ray Ingram, Nicky Jerome and
Harry Gentle.
joey may alter his style against
Gevinson, preferring to allow Lou to
force the issue. He is talented body
puncher and, since Gevlnson has
shown little or no defense against a
midsection attack. it is likely he will
concentrate his contemplating on
Iou's frame.
