PHILADELPHIA, July 16-lR-
The Phillies won the opening

CASE FAV0RITE
With NAT FANS
BY PAT O'BRIEN

WASHINGTON, July 16- (R -
George Washington Case, the
base-stealing specialist, still is the
peoples choice among Washing
ton baseball fandom. And he gives
them reason to roar every time
he reaches first.
Case, now nearing his 29th birth
day, has led the American League
in base thefts for five consecu-
tive years. This season he was out
of the lineup for about 20 days
with a dislocated shoulder, but
he's still in front of the field.
His peak performance came two
nights ago when he stole four
bases during a doubleheader with
the Philadelphia Athletics, includ-
ing a breath-taking dash from
third that ended with the umpire
calling him safe at the home plate.
That feat boosted his total for
the yea to "a successful attempts
out of 30 tries and sent him ahead
of New York's George Stirnweiss.
Opposition pitchers and catch
ers get acute attacks of the jit-
tiers every time George gets on
base-and he has a knack of draw
ing walks. He takes long leads
and usually starts with the pitch
er's windup. The fans shout with
every stride he takes.
Il study the pitchers arm mo-
ton carefully before try to steal"
Case revealed. Then, when I'm
sure he either has to let it go to
the plate or have a balk called,
l just run like the devil and start
to slide about 10 feet from the
bGse"
George doesn't believe he's lost
ally of his speed in the last few
years. He had 81 thefts in 1889,
dropped to IS in 1910 and 33 the
following year, upped the total to
"A in 1912 and skyrocketed to 81
last season. He also was the lea
CUES leading scorer in 1943. He
equaled Major League record
with nine hits in a doubleheader
in 1910.
The #. 18O-pound Case, a
highlander, got his start in base
ball at Trenton, N. j., in the New
York-Pennsylvania League, and
moved up to Washington in 1887.
He's been about one-fourth of the
Senator'S scoring power and prob
ably their best outfielder, ever
since.

er the New York Yankees to two
full games today by sweeping a

ed him at second but Milt Byrnes
and George McQuinn stroked sue
cessive singles to send Gutteridge
across. Caster, the third st. Louis
moundsman, received credit for
the win while Steve Gromek,
Cleveland's fifth twirler, was
charged With the loss. Manager
Lou Boudreau used II players in a
fruitless attempt to salvage the
game.

land in the after-piece and allow
ed the Browns one run and only
four blows for nine innings. ST.

second when Byrnes doubled, ad-
vanced to third on a fielder's

The Indians knotted the count
in the eighth on two-bagger by
Roy Cullenbine and a single by
Ken Keltner. Joe Heving replac-
ed the firing Reynolds in the first
