Leonard, Apparently Returned
To '39 Form, Again Yonk Pest
Ten-Innine FL Victory Over Champions
DispeIs Fear of Effects From AZ Injury

Dutch Leonard, portly employer
of the best knuckle ball in the major
leagues, convincingly has erased any
notion he never would recover COM
plete effectiveness due to that
broken leg and severely sprained
ankle he suffered year ago. Leon
ard, in fact, may be headed for his
best season since 1899, when he won
20 games.
Generally 1t was believed Leonard
had dug his pitching grave when
he bunged up his leg late in April,
1912, in slide into first base against
the Red Sox. Not until late last
season did he return to action and
then as a hobbling, handicapped
hurler.
But Dutch now has reason to feel
the recovery has been complete.
When he tossed four hitter at the
Yankees yesterday at Griffith Sta
dium in the process of snatching a
FL victory in 10 innings, he was
whipping New York for the first
time since 1910.
Yanks Learn to Hit Him.
Leonard was regarded as the
Yankees nemesis early in the 1899
season when he spanked them four
successive times, but since then he
has had remarkably small success
against them. In 1910 the Yankees
beat him six times in seven starts
and in 1941 Dutch faced them five
times and dropped five decisions
Last year he met them only once
and was defeated.
BY beating the Yankees yesterday
big Dutch kept Washington's amaz-
ing pitching record intact. In their
last seven games the Mats have lost
to the Yankees, 10; beaten the
Athletics, 1872, SO, 80 and ST.; lost
to the AS, 2-1, in 16 innings, and
thumped New York, 81.
In their last 10 innings Washing
ton pitchers have permitted only six
runs, three of them unearned. En-
tering today's tiff with the Yankees

earned run in 81 innings, a slab
