Leonard Earns
Niche in Hall
Of Fame
By FRANK BUCK" O'NEILL

"Once a Dodger, always a
Dodger," has been one Of the
slogans of baseball from time out
of memory. But Dutch Leonard,
once a Dodger is the greatest
pitcher on the Washington ball
club. He is beyond all argument,
if his brilliant performance of
yesterday is a fair criterion. For
Dutch Leonard stepped into the
box against Bob Teller, and not
only won one Of the greatest
games ever seen in Griffith Sta
dunn, but outpitched the Van
Meter meteor.
Through IS thrill-jammed in
ningS the round-faced Leonard
cut the corners of the plate, or
sent his knuckle ball dancing over
the heart of the rubber, but
around the swishing bats of the
baffled TribeSmen. He allowed six
hits and didn't give single base
on balls. In the last eight innings
of the game the Indians didn't
get a man to second base, and in
the last nine frames they got only
one man as far as second. Between
the fifth and eleventh innings,
Leonard put down II Tribesmen
in row.
1t was the best pitched ball
game of recent history in Wash
ington. Not in the last four years,
at least, has any battle of the dia-
mond come even close to that en-
counter of yesterday. It was
reminiscent OF Walter johnson at
his best.
Not only was it a great game,
but it was a full and complete
triumph for the second fiddle over
the concert violin. Teller was the
star, accepted in advance by the
crowd as the victor. That is, by
nearly everyone except Leonard
and the Washington ball club.
Teller met his master for the
day. In ten innings Bobby al
lowed only three hits, feat that
was matched by Leonard. Feller
had an edge in strikeouts, for he
put eight Nationals down on
strikes, as compared to five for
Leonard in the entire game. But
Teller had a lot of trouble with
his control. and gave nine bases
on balls. Leonard's control was
perfect.
1t was the sort of game that

Charley Hart, principal of

patience with the critics of
interhigh baseball who hold that
the sport should be discontinued

ing.
The popular school official,
who has watched Washington's

form for over 30 years, dating
back to the time when he was
faculty athletic adviser at the
old Business High School, speaks
with authority and experience.

a part Of the recreational cur

The exception was one season

by his owner, Col. Maxwell
Howard.
DEVELOPS FEVER
A fever which developed during
the night and reached as high as
l04.2 degrees was given as the
reason for the declaration.
Col. Maxwell Howard, owner of
the Santa Anita Handicap and
Santa Anita Derby winner, said
he wanted Stagehand removed "as
protection to the public, whose
affection for Stagehand has been
unusual"
The withdrawal of the future
book favorite, not unknown to
derby history, burned up millions
OF dollars in bets in the future
books, bets that were inspired by
Stagehand'S dazzling victories in
the Santa Anita Derby and in the
100000 Santa Anita Handicap.
In fact, after the colts disappoint-

around the stables that Colonel
Howard and Trainer Earl Sande
were only keeping Stagehand in
the race to give these bets q sport

Kenwood with a brilliant 30. Un.
dismayed, he wiped away a deficit
Iof five strokes on the incoming
"trip to tie Cooper's 66 for the
purse put up by the members of
the Kenwood Club for the low
scorer of the foursome.
Lighthouse" Harry, after get
ting out in 30, slipped to 81 on
the back nine. Cox reached the
turning point in "a strokes and
then proceeded to play the back
nine in 80 to break even with the
leading money-winner Of 1937-'38.
SURPRISED CROWD
So intent in roofing Cooper
home to what appeared to be a
new course record, the large
crowd failed to take notice Of
Cox's sound game. When the
sound truck blasted forth the
final score, more than half the
crowd stood aghast when. Cox'S
score was announced the same as
Cooper's.
After Cooper had reached the
turn in 20 he asked what the
course record was and when in
formed that it was a SO, held
Jointly by Witty Cox and AL

GREATEST SHOW
It was without a doubt the
greatest exhibition ever played in
this part of the country real
treat, hole by hole. Here was
Little at SO and Thomson at II,

Cooper was taking a birdie three,
and q four at the par 3 eighth

might possibly have equaled or
bettered his own record for the
course.

Guarding His Men

Teller might have carried on
and won his game. On the
other hand. he might have been
defeated. The might have-beens
in the case mean less than
nothing. Glorious as it would
have been for Feller to carry
on to victory, the fate of the
American League pennant did
not hang upon the outcome of
that game in May.
There is a chance that Feller
might have strained his arm,
injured by overwork last spring,
and have been lost to the CIeve-
land team, as he was for weeks
in the 1887 season. 1t was to
guard against such a develop
ment, more than any wish to
shield Feller's record, that Witt
took his action.
I'VE have 1879 ball games to
play" Witt said this morning.
"Feller will take his regular
turn in the box, barring acct
dents, which means that he will
pitch in at least Is of the re-
naming contests. I wanted to
win yesterday, but I'm more in
terested in having Feller in con-
dition to win 20 or more games
for us this season. If he had
hurt his arm, he wouldn't be
much good to us. You know
he won't be 20 years of age until
next November"

Unusual Story

There is an unusual story con.
nected with Zuber, who relieved
Teller. Five years ago zuber
never had seen a baseball. He
mad heard Of a game by that
name, but in the religious colony
in Middle Amana, Iowa in
which Zuber was raised, sports
were taboo. They were a waste
OF time; a diversion of the
wicked.
One day an uncle of the bow
took him out to Toledo, where
Casey Stengel was managing
the Mudhens. Zuber went down
10 third base, and Stengel bat
ted some easy grounders to
MN. Han a dozen went through
the kid, but he got the seventh
after a struggle and threw it
over to first base.
He almost handcuffed the
first baSeman. and it was voted
that a kid with an arm like
that was wasting his time any.
place but on a ball field. So,
against the wishes of his good
German parents, Bill went to
GAINESVILLE, and to Cedar Rapids
and then to Milwaukee.
When the pay checks began
to come in. his parents saw a
great light. and now baseball
has received the okay of the
entire Zuber family.
Bill talks with something of
an accent, and announced with
great glee the other day, that
he had developed a tinker ball.
Which is "Sinker" to you.

100 Per Cent Correct

If you go back in history, you
probably will be convinced that
Witt is 100 per cent correct in
his stand. Lets look at some of
the iron men" of baseball. Jack
Coombs of the Athletics pitched
the longest game ever played in
the American League. He went
"a innings against the Red Sox
with Joe Harris in the box.
CoombS strained his arm so Sc
verely that he was of little use
to the Athletics for some time.
Harris never was of any account.
Leon Galore of the Dodgers,
and Joe OeSchger of the Braves
went 26 innings, the longest
major league game on record.
Galore never was the same,
Oeschger went 90 innings with
the iron muScled Burleigh
Grimes. Those two games took
pretty good care of Oescher, BY
the time he was traded to the
Giants he couldn't break a pane
OF glass at Is feet.
Feller cooled out after the
game in fine style. He regretted
the loss of the game, which was
charged to Bill Zuber. He will
De back in Washington before
the season is over, and we may
look forward to another duel
between him and the amazing
