7-Week Batting Spree Upho|ds
MitcheFs Faith in Himself
By the Associated Press

CLEVELAND, Aug. Just sew
en- weeks ago, you could either
snicker or feel a bit sorry for Dale
Mitchell when the husky Cleve-
land left fielder insisted his bat
ting slump wouldn't last because
he'd always been a 300 hitter. u
You wouldn't do either today
for Mitchell has been proving his
point by slashing out base hits
with a frequency that has made
him the hottest hitting Indian OF
the pennant-chasing Tribe.
The 30-year-old Oklahoman has
batted 1886 over the past seven
weeks and his comeback has CO.
incided exactly with the upsurge
of the Clevland club in the Ameri-
can League race.
Right now Dale's working on a
string of Is consecutive games
with safe hitS-the longest any
Indian has compiled this cam
paign.
Hits Help Indians Advance.
On June "a Mitchell hadn't had
a base hit for 10 days. His aver
age was down to 1913 and he was
having to share his left-feld job
with Sam Chapman, newly ac-
quired from the Athletics. Then
a leg injury to Center-Fielder
Larry Dolby moved Chapman to
that spot and Mitchell went to
work with his bat.

third round. Hudson was ac-

Rocky didn't even blink as Hun

Rocky worked his way out of

hits. Only Pete Runnels, batting
.316, has been consistent, hitting
safely in eight consecutive gamec.

to raise his average. Morgan al

Another rookie, Gil McDougald,
