evaporate. His sporadic signs OF
stardom have fascinated Washing
ton bosses, but Ken never has been
able to supply the missing link be-
tween mediocrity and polished con-
sistency.
Shows Hope for Future.
Hopes that Ken would click
steadily have scared and dipped
like Glen Echo's feature attraction.
On the mound he creates the i'm
preston he'd relish plotting
streetcar as much as pitching, but
actually there isn't more sincere,
determined fellow among the Mats.
He frequently has brooded because
he has been unable to win for
Manager Bucky Harris, for whom
he would like to show some ap-
probation for sticking with him.
There was no guarantee Chase
would escape embarrassment as late
as the ninth inning yesterday, but
the manner in which he avoided
disaster should serve as a tonic for
the future.
With one out in the ninth Ken
issued his first walk to Birdie Teb-
belts, who promptly scooted TO Sec
ond as Franck Croucher singled to
center. At that stage Chase un-
leashed a wild pitch to advance
both runners and place the tying
run on second base. There was no
feeling of security among the Mats.
Pinch Hitter Tuck Stalnback
hoisted a fly to Center Fielder Doc
Cramer, whose fine throw TO the
plate erased any idea Tebbetts was
entertaining of attempting to score
after the catch. That eased the
tension a trif1e, and Chase insured
his second win of the campaign by
tanning Pat Mullin.
Griffs Get Early Lead.
The Mats had snatched 80 lead
| of Buck Newsom. Jake Early dou-
bled to center in the fourth. send
! ing Mickey Vernon to third, and
when Mullin fumbled Early's drive
Vernon scored. Washington pro-
duced two more runs in the fifth,
when Buddy Lewis drilled a single to
center, scoring Johnny Welaj and
Cramer, who had singled and dou-
bled, respectively.
The Tigers manufactured their
only run in the seventh when Eric
McNair singled to right. streaked
to third on CroucherS single and
scored after Pinch Hitter Pinky
Higgins flied deep to Cramer.
Chase scattered eight hits neatly.
while the Mats hammered Nevsom
and Archie McKain for II hits. It
was Newsom's eighth defeat Of the
season.
Steve Sundra was to face the
Browns in the first of three-game
series today at Griffith Stadium.
Dutch Leonard. who lasted only
five innings against the Tigers on
Sunday, will pitch in Griffith Stadi-

Despite a barometer that shifted
as often as a chameleon changes
color and rain squalls that were
anything but comfortable, those
anglers who we're able to get boats
over the week end enjoyed good
fishing.
Saturday night the "Gooses" re-
sembled a small town with many
boats carrying Pickering lanterns
and running lights. The catches
ran from 10 to 100 and more hard
heads. Trout were caught only
occasionally. Boats from every sec
tion Of Chesapeake Bay fished this
area.
Those who fished their regular
grounds appeared to do almost as
well. The best fishing was from
dark until dawn. with morning the
poorest during the "a hours.
Trout are in the upper bay, but
were biting sparingly on the shrimp
bats most anglers seemed to have.
We would say this is the time to
start batting the upper hook with
a soft crab or peeler bait even
though 1t is early. Indications
point toward a good trout season.
Baymen express confidence one is
due
We have advised making reserva-
tions ahead. Thousands of anglers
were unable to go out fishing after
arriving at embarkation points be-
cause there just were not enough
boats to go around. The number
of anglers fishing bay waters this
season makes midweek fishing by
those able to do 1t far more desirable.
Notable Catches Last Week.
Notable catches of the past week
include a 90-pound sailfish of
Miami on 9-thread and a tarpon
at Marathon weighing 100 pounds,
three tuna of Ocean City and a
450-pound mako shark of Brielle,
New Jersey.
The tarpon was entered in the
Rupert contest, where it probably
will lead all other entries to date.
OF the three tuna, two we're taken
on the same line, which is quite a
feat regardless of the size of the fish,
These fish were the result of an
extended off shore cruise organized
by Capt. Jim Whaley on the bot
tom fishing boat Pices. The party
left before midnight and was on the
edge of the Gulf Stream by daylight
The mako was notable because 1t
was caught on 12-thread line in
az hours at the famous "Mudhole. +"
Johnny Newcomer has the same
interest in fishing and the outdoors
as Washington Oldtimer, but being
a stranger here doesn't get around
as he would back home. He wants
to meet others who enjoy the same
interests.
In Pennsylvania and other East
ern States sportsmen's organizations
supply this need. Here, the Izaak
Walton Chapters take over. They
d GA swell job, too, but meeting once
month isn't enough for the dyed
in-the-woOl bass fisherman or the
fy-tying enthusiast.
The only way he can meet kindred
spirits more often is at the Monday
luncheon gathering of the WASH
ington Chapter at the Neptune
He'll learn what he wants most to
know and run into some oddities

Waging Gamest Fight,

Of his tough career. Hes trying to
regain his eyesight, lost as result of
622 fights over a span of Is years.
A Birmingham specialist, who

tons on his left eye, permitting the
old fighter to see strong light. A
third, aimed at securing a detached
retina, may restore his ability to
distinguish objects.
Should the operation succeed, the

BY BURTON HAWKINS.

Mussolini and Ken Chase have
discovered It's q long time between
victories, but in beating the Detroit
Tigers yesterday for his first tri-
umph in nearly two months Wash
ington's semibald southpaw at least
indicted he may have conquered
persistent jinx.
Ken, in whipping the Tigers, 81,
survived the ignominy of yielding q
cluster Of runs in one inning. Leads
have been as insignificant as a
Hitler promise with Chase pitching
this season, for invariably Ken has
coasted along very smoothly for a
few innings only to bump into a
sudden shower Of runs.
Not since April 18. when Chase
checked the Yankees with eight
hits, has Ken seemed as consistent
as In subduing the Tigers. Absent
was his normal springboard TO de-
feat-bases on balls-for he issued
only one walk. After eight success
sive defeats he bounced back bril-
liantly.
Wildness Ken's Bane.
Ken hasn't been favored with
much luck this season, but most of
his ineffectiveness can be traced TO
wildness. Among the tough de-
cisions he dropped were a 81 af-
fair to Bob Feller, a 40 thinning
struggle to the same youngster and
a 4-3 thinning job to Chicago when
Second Baseman Jimmy Bloodworth
fumbled an easy grounder.
There have been other occasions,
though, when Ken couldn't distribute
the blame. There was that game
with the Athletics, when he held a
6-1 lead only to allow six Phils-
delphia runs in the sixth inning.
There was another time when he
was getting no worse than an even
break with the White Six entering
the eighth inning, but four Chicago
runs clattered across in that session
to beat him.
Then, too, he later held a 81
lead over the AS in the fourth, but
Philadelphia mustered seven runs
in one inning to humble him. More
recently Ken was staked to a TO
lead against the Tigers. who
promptly battered him for seven
runs in the third inning en- route
to whipping him, ll-S.
Looks Good With Control.
Chase can't claim the label of
hard luck pitcher" He has lost
some close ones that concelvably
could have gone the other way. but
he also has blown enough leads 70
spread over several seasons. Ham,
pering him has been a blister on
the second finger of his throwing
hand, but it hardly has been the
hub of his woes.
He has been a notorious ln-ano-
outer, and for that reason nobody
will hasten TO jump overheard anc
predict the fellow finally is pre-
pared to aid the Mats. In trim
ming the Tigers. however, he dem
onstrated the type of pitcher m
could be if he masters control.
Never has Ken capitalized on TIT
promise he revealed when he re-
ported to the Mats several season
ago, but by the same token. N
hasn't allowed that promise u
