Banking Mats for 18th Win
Of Year, FeIIer Confident
Goal Will Be Reached

Al, and yesterday coasted to his
easiest triumph against the Mats.
BY midseason-12 games hence for
the Indians-Feller is likely to &C
cumulate 18 victories and at that
pace is calculated to become the
first pitcher to win 80 games since
Dizzy Dean accomplished it in 1884
Lefty Grove was the last American
League pitcher to crash that circle,
winning 81 games in 1881.
He'll win 80 games" says the
Mats Buddy Myer. when he
started he had to depend solely on
that fast ball and he got away with
it, but now he has everything. He
doesn't throw that fast one as much
as he used to because he's de-
veloped a swell change of pace. He
never eases up
Feller wasn't inclined to loaf
against the Mats yesterday and by
the fourth inning Washington
hopes were reduced to miracle ma
terial, for the Indians had compiled
a 40 lead. Gerald Walkers triple
and jeff Heath's single produced a
run of Vernon Kennedy in the first
inning and the Indians held 20
lead when Feller tripled and scored
on Ken Keltners single in the third.
Grimes First Is Homer.
In the fourth inning Kennedy
walked Oscar Grimes, who was pro-
PEELED to third by Rolhe Hemsley's
looping double to right. Both scored
on Lou Boudreau's single to right,
and in the fifth Grimes obtained his
first hit since 1899, a lusty clout
into the left field bleachers scoring
Heath ahead of him. Grimes, out
all last year with fractured facial
bones, currently is replacing the
ailing Hal Trosky at first base.
Steve Sundra wasted four fine in
nings of relief pitching, blanking
the Indians on two singles in the
last four frames. Steve faced only
II batters over that span, since
Heath was out stealing after
scratching hit in the seventh and
Ray Mack drilled into a double play
after Grimes had singled in the
eighth.
Idle today, the Mats will return
to action at Griffith Stadium to-
morrow when the Chicago White
Sox invade for a three-game series.
Thornton Lee will oppose Dutch
Leonard in the first engagement.
