brought no reward.

The Mats have made 100 hits on
the trip. but they've averaged only
four runs game. They can't get
very far with this kind of run
making. And there's little promise
of improvement unless some of the
Mats develop an extra-base hitting
knack or even discover how to sock
some long flies with runners on
third base.
There were no runs in the Mats
systems last night as they took their
sixth straight defeat in a 40 en-
gagement. All they could collect of
the right-hand service of Orva,
Grove was four singles. Only nine
Mats got on base, one by a pass, one
through an error and three in force
plays. George Case, who stole in the
second, and Stan Spence, who
moved up on an error in the fourth
were the only Mats to get as far as
second base.
The White Sox did their scoring at
Dutch Leonard's expense as he
pitched seven innings to take his
seventh beating of the season. He
gave up only eight hits and walked
