CHICAGO, June 2.-Dutch Leon
ard will endeavor to knuckle-ball
his way to his fifth win of the sea-
son tonight as the Mats jump into
a four-game series with Chicago's
White Sox in Comisky Park, and If
Dutch goes as he did against the
same club in Washington recently
it could be a breeze for him.
Then Dutch took the White Sox
over for a 40 triumph, spreading
six singles and double over seven
innings while his club ran up nine
safeties and accorded him perfect
support.
But Dutch will have different
club behind him tonight, one unpre-
dictable at bat and afleld Anything
could happen the way the Mats are
performing these days.
Chicago's pitcher might be
Johnny Humphries, who missed a
turn Yesterday due to rain, but
probably either Orval Grove, ace
right-hander, or Thornton Lee,
portside veteran, will be Jimmy
Dykes choice.
Hits End Mats Drought.
A deluge of hits ended the Mats
drought yesterday as they swamped
the Browns, II to S Twenty hits
were made off Jack Kramer, the
losing pitcher; Weldon West, New
man Shirley and Sam Zoldak, while
Wilfred Lefebvre, making his first
start of the year, limited the
Browns to a dozen.
AS the Mats ended their five
game losing streak, Stan Spence
matched the six-times-up-for- six
hits feat George Myatt accomplished
in Boston on May l. Among STAINS
hits was his sixth home run of the
year, a drive over the right-fleld
pavilion, and with them he sent in
five runs.

Chisox Loom as Soft Prey for Leonard Tonight;
Spence's Six Hits Help Mats End Losing Streak

IN the nrSt frame When they packed
a pass with three singles for two
runs. Two more singles and a
walk were good for two more mark
ers in the second. Spence's homer
in the fifth provided the fifth
Washington counter.
Over this span the Browns
reached the plate twice. A pair of
singles and long fly got them a
run in the first and in the fifth
they mixed two hits with an error
by Jake Powell for a tally.
George Myatt singled and did
some fancy base running to score
from first on Spence's single off
the right-field screen in the sixth.
Four hits, one Spence's fifth of the
game, got three scores in the
seventh.
After Kreevich hit his homer for
the Browns, the Mats came back
for a pair in the eighth. Hills
Layne's walk. Powell's triple and
Mike Guerra's single put them
over.
Mark Christman's homer in the
eighth and two hits for run in
the ninth finished the counting by
the Browns.
Pitcher Milo Candini Is to re-
main with the Mats instead of going
to Stockton, Calf. for the funeral
of his father, who died yesterday
Although stricken, Candini
feels he could accomplish no more
by going home than will his BROTH
ers and sisters already there. Word
of his fathers death was received
by Milo shortly before he was
scheduled to pitch against the
Browns. Manager Os Bluege i'm
mediately detailed Bill Lefebvre to
the twirling task.
A night game made the day no
easier for Trainer Mike Martin. He
was busy from morning to early
evening patching up the many Nat
cripples. Mike says Joe Kuhel's
charley-horsed leg is getting much
better. Jake Powell still has a
slight limp, although he manages
to get around the outfleld we'll
George Myatt's broken finger still
pains him considerably, but he ap-
pears able to grip his bat better
and get more into his swing. Gil
Torres has a Clipped knuckle in
his right hand and Johnny Sulli-
van is nursing a sore leg. Other
than that, the Mats are in right
good trim.
Most spectacular plays Of yester-
days tilt in st. Louis we're pro-
vided by Powell in left field. In the

To Keep Scholastic
Tennis Crown

Bob Spangler, Bennett Lyon, Dick
Fink, George Sponsler, Eugene
Griffin and Olin Newton of the
Coolidge tennis team, managed by
Ted Ganas, today were receiving
the congratulations of classmates
on a clean sweep of five victories
and no losses in interhigh series
that was climaxed yesterday when
the Colts defeated Wilson, to /, on
the Pierce Mill courts to retain the
championship.
A rainstorm halted play before
the doubles could be staged, but the
Coolidge aces already had smashed
through to victory in four of the
five singles to register the required
points.
Wilson also went into the match
as an undefeated squad, and, as
every other team in the loop has
been licked at least once, triumph
in the match meant the title. The
action consequently was hot, with
two matches going to three sets and
one set extended to 18 games.
Only Colt beaten was Bennett
Lyon, who was up against the
formidable Bill Brandes, who won,
60 and 6t1.
In the first of the three-set af-
fairs, Dick Fink of Coolidge battled
to As, 6-, 6-3 win over Harry
Ong, high-ranking player in the
interscholastics.
In the other thriller, George
Sponsler took the court with Bill
Burchell, with the Colts leading
only to L. Burchell won the first
set 4--6, then time after time the
score was tied. but the Sponsler
stamina was the greater and he
broke through to a 1913 win AND
then took the last set, 6-3.
