A s A child did you ever set up
stand and try to sell lemonade to
the general public at or cents q
glass, or even for whatever you could
get. As the or Professor remembers
his experience along that line, 1t was
good business. because If you got the
lemonade at home it was almost 100
per cent profit. Well, anyway, q busi-
ness problem confronted a couple Of
ambitious youngsters. One OF them
got the idea and set up a stand. The
other youngster. rival set up q stand
across the street. Both discovered a
source Of supply in q generous man
who ran the lemonade concession at 4
nearby amusement park. He even
stopped on his way to the park one
morning to deliver the lemonade to
the two stands. All he had was two
1O-gallon cans Of lemonade. One boy
had four-quart pail, the other had a
hve-quart pail. How did the man fill

b0NURA'S 50 HIT
TYPICAL OF PILOT
Triple Following Bucky's
Risky Sign Leads to Win
Over White Sox.
BY FRANCIS E. STAN.

It Is difficult to explain the
Senator's climb back into the thick
of the American League pennant race,
probably because nobody sincerely be-
leives they are worthy of such high
ranking. But among the absorbing
items worth consideration is that of
Manager Bucky Harris willingness to
gamble.
Any post-mortem of that 5-to-4
victory over the White Sox yesterday
in Griffith Stadium eventually lands
you in the eighth inning, when the
game was tied at %, one was out,
and big Zeke Bonura was at the plate.
Now Mr.. Bonura had been of no
help to the Senators UP to that point
John Whitehead was pitching as sue
cessfully as Jimmy De Shong and it
began to look as If the White Sox
had good chance of breaking their
six-game losing streak. Then Taft
Wright got on base, stole second,
moved to- third on Johnny Stones
infield out, and there came big Zeke,
hitiess all day and looking as if he
would never get a safe blow.
Whitehead's first three pitches to
Zeke were balls. The big fellow then
glanced toward Manager Bucky Har-
ris, coaching at first base. Bucky
gave sign. On the next pitch Zeke
connected for triple to the center
field corner, scoring Wright. A few
moments later Bonura scored on Cecil
Travis long fly. The score was 4-2.
De Shong Weakens, Taken Out.
Zeke's triple should have meant
the ball game, beyond any question.
Unfortunately, De Shong weakened in
the ninth and Chicago tied the score.
In their half of the ninth the Sena-
tors won the ball game when Buddy
Lewis singled across Buddy Myer from
second base after two were out.
But it was Zeke's triple that kept
the Senators in the ball game and
the man behind the guns was Harris.
The incident was a tip-off on Harris,
the manager. With three-and-noth
ing count he gave the hit" sign.
And the daring move won the ball
game.
This, OF course. is nothing new for
Bucky. He has been giving hit"
and take" signs for years. More
than once this season he has flashed
word to hit when a hitter had three
and-nothing on him. Bonura received
it before. So did Al Simmons. Bucky
picks his men.
He picked q man a couple of years
back, when the Mats opened the sea-
son agains the Yankees before a SELL
out crowo and President Roosevelt.
The game was a scoreless tie going
into the ninth inning. Carl Reynolds
was at bat. The count was similar.
Bucky signaled Reynolds to hit Carls
triple won the game. to 0.
Leonard Faces Sox Today.
The manner in which the Senators
won yesterday served to emphasize
that Washington is playing heads-up
baseball. Thrice during the game the
Grlfhs tried steals of second base and
thrice they made it. The game was
won on steal for, with two out,
Myer stole second in the hectic ninth.
And Lewis singled him across.
AS result of that victory of yes
terday the Mats pulled to within three
games of the league leading Indians
Evening star., 1938-06-02

and virtually moved into second
place tie with the Yankees. Today,
moving into the second game of the
White Sox series, they counted on
getting another kick at the Pale Hose
while they are down.
Harris nominated Dutch Leonard
to start today's ball game, with Yves
Ferrell going for his eighth win of
the season tomorrow. Manager Jimmy
Dykes of the Sox named Frank Cab
Ter, former Bees pitcher, as todays
hill foe of the Griffmen. Both Gabler
and Leonard are cast-off National
Leaguers.
Weaver's Single Starts Rally.
Dipping into the details OF Wash
ington's fifth victory in its last six
games, the Senators took 10 lead
in the fifth, the Sox tied it in the
sixth, our Griffs went ahead 81 in
their half of the sixth and the Sox
again tied at % in the eighth. Thus
came the eighth inning with the Sena-
tors at bat and Harris gamble on
Bonura hitting a long outheld drive.
When Bonura hit his triple and
later scored on Travis fly it looked
to be breeze for De Shong. But in
the ninth the Hose rallied to tie the
score and chase De Shong from the
box. Monte Weaver entered the box,
retired one man, and then accepted
another victory when the Grifmen
pushed across the decisive run in their
half of the ninth inning.
Weaver started the trouble when he
dropped fluke single into left Myer
forced him, stole second base, and
with Lewis single the game was over
John Whitehead started for Chicago
and Monty Stratton relieved in time
to be charged with the defeat.

American Leagues sixth place today,
with seven wins in their last 10 starts,

Cleveland's league-leading Indians
yesterday.
AS Slug as Giants Slip.
. Their record shows rs runs on 1903
hits in the last II games, and even
Bill Terry is looking enviously at that
power. For Bills Giants are deep in
hitting slump-so deep, in fact,
that they've managed to score just
one run in the n innings of their
last three starts, all of them losing
efforts. Even against their customary
cousins. the Pittsburgh Pirates, the
National League leaders looked pretty
sour yesterday as they dropped a Al
decision, with young Russ Bauers
turning in five-hitter.
Getting back to the AS, you find

showed up at Shibe Park Sammy

which the AS haven't seen for some

should be acquired as soon as Connie
waves that score-card in his face
