Pennant Hopes Dim
Despite "a Of 81
Games on Home LOT
BY JOHN q. KELLER.

Home for "a of their last 81
games of a roaring campaign, the
Mats must give with a baseball
miracle to win the flag they have
been fighting for fiercely the last
two months.
Despite their recent creditable
swing through the West, New York
and Philadelphia in which they
won IS of 81 games, the Mats just
don't look fit for the run down the
stretch of the American League
race.
Not since the series in Cleveland
when they took six of seven games
from the Indians have they been a
Keen ball club. At bat, in the box
and afleld, the Washington club is
lar from what it was when it leaped
from its remarkable 9-out of 10
record in the string of five double
headers early this month to make its
last long tour
Now with 10 more double -heaoers
among the last 81 games, it is diff
cult to see how the Mats can maze
it. For a championship, thereV
have to be a miracle.
Fatigue Showed in New York.
There were distinct signs of stag
gerlng seen in the New York series
in which the Mats dropped four
games in two days. And the signs
persisted in the Philadelphia series
that ended last night with the Mats
winning 3 to 2, then taking 2-to-l
beating
The Washington batters couldn't
bat, the Washington pitchers
couldn't pitch and the Washington
flelders couldn't field. 1t was lust
tired ball club forcing itself to
play out the string
The Mats are so tired most of the
regulars are unable to 60 through
both ends of a double bill. And that
certainly does not make the ball
club look any too good for the rugged
home stretch
Whether the Mats can come up TO
scratch again should be learned
quickly, The double header business
begins again tomorrow night against
the Yankees and within the next
four days the Mats will have three
tWin-bills in seven games. That's
no small order.
The Mats hitting, pitching and
heldlng fell off again last night in
both games. After struggling to a
narrow ninth-inning win Tuesday,
the Mats in their final fling of the
series barely got away with a first
game victory then took a beating
the eighth inning of the second.
Griffs Capitalize on Errors.
In the first game a couple of er-
rors by Greek George. Philadelphia
catcher, were needed to make a
pair of telling eighth-inning tai
ties. Then Dutch Leonard, who got
credit for his 18th win of the wear,
had to be lifted from the slab in
the ninth when the AS threatened
10 tear him apart, so Mickey Haef-
ner had to finish.
In the second game the Mats got
an early run, then had to Stave
off repeated attacks the AS made on
Roger VOLTS pitching. Finally, in
the seventh inning when Wolff hit
his pitching peak, the Nat infeld
begged down, and two errors let
IN an unearned tying tally for
the AS, Then they bumped Wolff
in the eighth for the big one.
The Mats collected just 10 hits
in the pastiming, six off Buck New
som in the opener and the others
of Marchildon, pitching for the
first time since coming back to the
AS from the Canadian Air Force.
He was wild, but a tough cookie
at that in the five innings he toiled
The way the tired Mats performed
they looked as though any pitcher
could stop them cold

finale, 2-l.
Lefty Vic Johnson chilled New
York's chances of moving ahead with
a 10 job on behalf of Boston. Singles
by Ty La Forest and George Metko-
vich followed by Bob Johnsons fly
in the fourth inning nullifed Bill
Zubers matching four-hit effort. A

Cincinnati's tattered Reds, who
had won only four of their last 25

job on the Red Birds yesterday. de-

Cubs Increase Margin
Chicago stretched it's National
League advantages to 4l2 games by
knocking off Pittsburgh, 20. After
Ray Prim Wilted in the 91-degree
heat, Hy Vandenberg came on to
complete the whitewash job against
Nick StrinceVich. With Phil Cavar-
retta returning home for treatment
for his shoulder ailment and Don
johnson injured, Bill Nicholson and
Stan Hack again resumed their po-
sitions in the Cubs lineup.
Two unearned runs against Philly

keep its flag hopes alive with sec

Green Youngster Extra Toll
BY LEWIS r. ATCHISON,

Full employment is not one of
Reid Lemons current problems.
The broad-beamed Redskin rookie
might be concerned about time off
however having toiled overtime
since reporting at training camp.
And the opening of the season a
week from Friday, when the Skins
collide with Cleveland on the Rams
home lot, means Lemons schedule
may be increased rather than
eaSed.
His biggest handicap is mex
perlence," Coach Dud DeGroot
was telling us today, and the only
remedy for that is work-and lc.>
of it. Well use him as much as
possible in our on-championship
games. You know jumping from
high school to professional foot
ball is hard enough, but throwing
in the T on top of it all makes it
really rugged.
Lennon dosen't know what he's
doing or why, but he's big and
rough, he's got lot of power and
when he learns to use it he'll be
a topnotch lineman."

Turk figured any time a 228-
FOUNDER could move that fast he
was a threat. and if he got wised
up how to use it there was no telling
what he would do Thus far Len
non has done nothing to disturb the
coaches confidence in him, but he's
got to learn the hard way and it
takes time. An eX-Marine who saw
service on Guadalcanal, Lennon

Sammy Baugh left pounds at the

from the l75-pound mark. Some of
the boys dropped as much as 10
pounds and in some cases it was
good.
De Groot thinks the squads physi-

but that some of the boys still have
