Buege Confidently Faces Tour Listing p Games in 26 Day
Seven Pitchers Rated
AS Starters in Mats
Drive for Pennant
stan correspondent Of The star,

CHICAGO, Aug. Pitching still
remains more than half the tussle,
statistics of this years sizzling
American League campaign bear
out, so the Mats appear in fine trim
for first-place bid on their longest
tour of the year.
Twenty-six games are to be played
in 81 days, enough to appall man
ager with an understaffed pitching
department. But Os Bluege be-
lieves he now has seven good start
ers at hand where week ago he
had but four. AL Carrasquel and
Wally Holborow have won their
spurs and Johnny Niggeling looks
ready to resume his winning ways.
With this trio backing Dutch
Leonard, Roger Wolff, Mickey Haef-
uer and Marine Pieretti, his hill
corps will be fully able to cope with
the heavy schedule, Os feels.
Help Arrives at Good Time.
The poisoning Of Carrasquel and
Holborow into apparently depend
able starters perhaps is the greatest
piece of fortune enjoyed by the
Washington club this season. And
1t came right at a time when the
Mats needed reinforcement on the
slab sorely, for the few regularly ac-
counted starters had begun to sag
under the strain of heavy duty.
There really was little surpris-
ing about Carrasquel's performance
in his second start of the year last
week. The big Venezuelan veteran
had been going along strongly in
relief roles. But the superb game
Holborow bobbed up with against
Boston's Red Sox was indeed amaz-
ing.
Wally had been used only SPAR
ingly in pinches before and at no
time was particularly impressive.
But with the Mats driving through
string of five double headers, his
employment was enforced and he
arose to the occasion nobly.
After that two-hit shutout Wally
threw at the Boston band, Bluege
Will not hesitate to send the former
strictly relief performer to the hill
at the outset OF play.
Starters in Good Trim.
Aside from minor bruises sus-
tanned while fielding their positions,
and the Mats pitchers have had to
get in front of number of sting
ing drives lately, the Washington
starters are quite At for the hard
tussling ahead. Leonard,s knee was
not badly hurt as he fell while
fielding bunt in the ninth inning
of the first game last Sunday.
Pieretti's knee, injured in the War
Fund game with the BROOKLYN
Dodgers early in July, is about well.
The others had no ailments to
bother them.
Toughest tests of this trip will
come in st. Louis and Cleveland,
for the Mats are slated for I'VE
games in three days with the
Browns and seven games in four
days with the Indians. The grind
for the Mats begins here tomorrow
night in the start of a four game
series with the White Sox. Next
the Browns will be met, then comes
an all-important four-game set with
the Tigers at Detroit.
After the Cleveland series, the
Mats will move into New York for
four engagements in three days
then to Philadelphia for two games
in as many days with the Athletics.
1t is big job for the Mats, this
trip, but with pitching staff at
peak for the year, they are more
than hopeful of getting away
with 1t.
