BouDREAu FOUND THE PAGE Here's what did last
year he said eve led league and batting in
We were high up hits base hits But we finished
back of New York and Cleveland, and here's why:
I'VE stole only 20 bases The Red Sox last in this
spect We were caught stealing times We couldn't have
made the hitting because also left more runners
base than any other club.
Now let's look at the Yankees figures those of the
White Sox oo The stole 78 bases and thrown
out only 50 times like Rizzuto, Mantle Wooding Collins
Bauer DAdaggio Berra making that dash from
first to third and from second to home
Te figures prove it, The Yankees left fewer runners on
base any except the Browns who just didn't put
enough men on the bases to leave many"
THE SURPRISE FINISH of the White sox, Boudreau is
thinking was due largely their speed the bases They
didn't total bases did, did they match the
Yankees But look what Mnoso Busoy Carrasque
and those fellows did, stole 81 bases II than all
of the Red Sox Busby 26 Carrasque H. and so forth

Mats Job at Stake as FIeshmon
Pitches Against As Sunday
By stoff Correspondent Of The Stor

ORLANDO, Fla, Mar. 20.-The
son of Maryland's one-time
horseshoe pitching champion is
hoping some Of the luck SYM
bolized by horseshoes will be
with him Sunday at West Palm
Beach. Buck. Fleshman, jr., 81
year-old Hyattsville High School

against the Athletics and a credit

a berth with the Mats.

showed me a change Of pace
that's worth looking at again. "
On that occasion, his only ap-
pearance thus far. Buck worked
three innings and held Detroit
scoreless on two hits. That per-
formance, in addition to opening
the eyes of the Mats bosses, also
drew praise from Jerry Priddy
and George Kell Of the Tigers.
Outfielder in School.
An outfielder at Hyattsville
High, Fleshman is bidding for a
major league job after only two
full seasons in the low minors.
A righthander whose 1876 pounds
are distributed neatly over q g.
foot-4 frame, Buck has a decep-
tive fast ball which, according
to Priddy and Kell. sneaks up on
batters before they're ready.
This isn't the well-worn story
Of father showing son all he knows
about pitching and son rising to
success as a result. Buck, ST.,

Catching May Be Problem.
Pete Runnels. expected to bios

been a culprit in the Mats lack
of attack. He's failed to get the
ball out Of the infield in Is at

single. but he has company.
Harris could be more concerned,
for instance. about the absence of
hitting among his catchers. Clyde
Kluttz is hitting 200, while Mickey

Catching could be the Mats
most grievous problem. A steady

such a success the Philadelphia
skipper is optimistic over his
teams chances in the National,

Sawyer laid the law down this
spring after his 1850 champions
slipped to fifth place last season.

Ridzik and Robin Roberts
checked the champions on two
hits. 1t was the first meeting be-
tween the two clubs since the
Yanks knocked the Phils off in

The Detroit Tigers also came up
with some lusty hitting as they

somewhat smaller and more
