MATS IMPROVED

R DAD RECORD

After a none too prosperous road
trip, tainted by nine losses against
six victories, the Mats prepared to
settle down today for q lengthy
home stay at Griffith Stadium.
Despite the nine defeats, the
Mats moved through the latter
stages of their trip at a formida

journey.
The Mats record, by the way

cause Mr.. G.'s athletes dropped q
couple of heart breakers to the
Yankees in rounding out their trip
in New York.
VICTIM OF ERRORS
Yesterday. for instance, like the
day before, the Mats fell victim to
the fielding collapse of Buddy
Lewis, who came up with four
errors in the field and little else

Mats out-Yankeed the Yankees in

story. Ten of Washington'S II
hits came after two were out;
therefore, while the Mats were
pounding out three hits to make a
single run, the Yankees scored as
many as four runs on a single hit
Regardless, the Mats come home
today a sounder looking ball club
than they've been at any time this
year. They fought the Yankees
on even terms and, with q mild
break in luck. could have won all
three games.
BONURA IN STRIDE
Zeke Bonura seems to have
reached his stride after wallowing
through the misery Of an all-con-
quering batting slump most Of the
year. His hitting has been some
thing approximating sensational.
Yesterday, for instance, he came
up with the latest Of his siege-gun
socks when he blasted an enor-
nous double into the left center
field wall, a distance Of 400 feet.
It would have been an easy home
run in Washington.

but four home runs shy Of the
home-run record of the Mats, ere

Simmons will Surpass that mark
during the current home stand.
Dutch Leonard will oppose the
Boston Red Sox this afternoon
in quest Of his eleventh victory
OF the year. Jackie Wilson, called
the fastest pitcher In baseball by
Boston critics, will pitch for the
Red SoX.
The Yankees will follow the Red
Sox into town.

On the opposite seat in the crowded second

looking at Sonia. He was bit of dandy.
