Our cinderella Man
Wore the Wrong Mitt

ON THE MORNING last February
when Harry James Bright reported to the
Senators training camp at Pompano Beach
ne walked into the clubhouse and placed
three catcher'S mittS on the top shelf of
his locker. He hadn't caught for 10 years,
or since he was the boy manager in 1852
OF GAINESVILLE, where he also played short
stop, third base and the outfield.
Not even one finger mitt this year,"
baseball writer asked, because when
Harry first came to the Senators in 1861
it was as third baSeman.
Not one" Bright smiled II either
make 1t this way pointing to his catcher's
tools, "or I'm out of the big leagues-again."
Il told Mickey Vernon that 1 never
wanted to see Harry wearing a finger mitt
again" Gen. Pete Quesada explained. HE
was one of the worst third baSemen I ever
saw. I liked his bat, and so did Mickey,
but he made me Shudder at third base"
If the pun will be pardoned lit seems
almost unavoidable, anyway, things didn't
Look too bright for Harry Bright in spring
training. The Senators had picked up Ken
Retzer and Bob Schmidt and they still had
Pete Daley at the time. 1t was up to a
rusty 32-year- jack of ll-tradeS to beat
out one of them.
AS THE DAYS ROLLED BY and Dale
Long held out it almost seemed as if Man
ager Vernon, himself, might have to play
first base during the exhibition games
Bud Zipfel the only other first baseman,
still was in the Marine Corps. Mickey an
nounced that Chuck Hinton an outfelder,
would play first base in the interim
You're not going to do much catching"
baseball scribe said to Bright why
don't you declare your availability as
first baseman? You've done everything
else during weird career, including taking
tickets and getting released by the Yank-
ees, Tigers, Cubs and Pirates, some of these
clubs after more than one look" The Cubs
10 years ago, told Harry that Glass was
as high as he could go and he would do
well to play and manage in the Wisconsin
State League, which he did at age %
after, at the age of 49, retiring" from pro
ball in favor of the furniture business as
a salesman.
Il can't very we'll ask Mickey for shot
at first base," Harry replied, "but I'd ap-
preciate it if you'd put bug in his ear
some day. You know, caSual-like"
1--WE been thinking about it," Vernon
said, when the matter was duly brought up,
and so Bright appeared with first base
mans mitt possibly hidden in his locker
all the time. When Long ended his hold
out Hinton was returned to the outfield.
Now, until Zipfel was sprung from the
Marines, Bright was the No. first base
man. But his status was as precarious as
when he was considered catching candi-
date.
THIS is ALL LEADING up to some
thing, so be patient Long finally signed
and was fireball in spring training. Zip

ONaA oNeAA
LOS ANGELES, July 16.-I
The Senators reached their
seasons high in hits with II
in the second game of yester-
days double-header against the
Angels, but it still was the kind
of day when Jim Hannah was
as much of a standout as any
body with his second save in
two days.
The Angels won the opener,
ST., behind Eli Grba, who
specializes in beating the Sem
ators. Washington pecked away
at six Los Angeles pitchers for
is singles and a pair Of doubles
to win the second, 1914. The
preceding Yankee series appar-
emily drained most Of the base
ball money out of LA, for only
1855 customers showed up.
Saving a 1914 ball game US
ually is not much of an accom-
plishment, but Humans work
was notable because Of the
manner in which the Angels
have teed off on the Senator's
in the late innings this year.
On four occasions the Angels
have beaten the Senators in
their last time at bat.
Third Win for Hamilton
Hannah retired seven of the
eight batters he faced in help
ing Steve Hamilton win his
third game and his first as a
starter. Hannah saved Bonnie
Daniels first victory in three
months with an equally strong
relief job in Minneapolis Sat-
/ urday.
Since his recall after being
optioned to Syracuse for %
days, the former Notre Dame
player has been a smarter and
stronger pitcher. He admits
that he feels more confident.
He has appeared in Is games
and his earned-run average is
2.01. His strikeouts have
matched his walks. He has
picked up his first major league
victory in the stretch.
Hamilton's lead was 6-1 at
one time, but it had Shrunk to
GA after seven innings even
though he had given up only
six hits. One was a two-run
homer by Felix Torres. With
justice to Hamilton, three of
the hits off him were Founders
or popups that Harry Bright
couldn't handle.
Before Hannah could take
over the pitching, the Senators
scored three in the eighth for
more breathing room, and they
added one in the ninth.
Steal Seven Bases
The Senators not only topped
their previous high in hit pro-
duction-l6 against Kansas
City-but they also stole seven
bases in the second game, three
by Ken Hamlin, two by Chuck
Hinton and one each by Chuck
Cottier and Bob johnson.
, Ed SadowSki was catching
only his sixth game of the sea-
son. but at least two of the
steals were not his fault. 30
Belinsky. testing his injured
thigh, came in as a relief
; pitcher with runners on first
and second and only one out
and promptly took a windup
that permitted a double steal.
Belinsky walked three, allowed
a single, and appeared rather
miffed about pitching in a
losing cause. He worked only
ia innings.
Bob Schmidt was the most
! productive batter of the VIC
tory with a double, two singles
and three runs batted in. Jim
King also had three hits and
Cottier. Bright and johnson
had a pair. Hinton and Ham
lin each batted in two.
Hamlin. who took himself
out of the second game be-
cause of an acute asthma con-
dition. had a weird day.
On the plus side Kenny,
who has II hits in his last 10
games, had two doubles, a
