SPORTS FRONT.

By mus CALLAGHAN.

They'll do it every time.

We had just sent Monday’s column to press after laughing out loud at the Senators when we heard that Washington had not only beaten New York Yankees in the second half of Sun- day's twin bill but they had hung a most humiliating 4-0 shut- out on the proud American League champions.

Cookie Lavegetto’s wonders had opened the series just half a game back of the Yankees. They had high hopes of grabbing the lead in the New York series but they immediately pro- ceeded to drop the first three encoimters, giving Stengel and Company a three and a half game bulge. Chuck Stobbs had lost a heartbreaker, 4-3 in Sunday’s opener and the natural thing for the Senators to do was throw in the towel as far as

the second game was concerned. But the Nationals showed they are made

of sterner stuff

this season. Lavegetto sent Pascual to the mound and he treated

the Yankee power as Casey's hurlers were s

to treat

wpposed

the Senamcrs. He yielded only five base hits and went the distance fora most impressive 4-0 shutout. The win cut Yankees’ first place margin back to two and a half games and let all other teams with pennant ambitions breathe a sigh of relief.

Before the New York series we came across a really smart article on the doings of the Washington club. lJt would be twice as good had the Nats won the New York series but even so it still, to our mind, is worthy of a repeat in part. So here goes:

“This is a city of surprising doings, but nothing in recent Washington history is more surprising than the success of the Senator. They have no visible means of support, either on the mound or at bat, but they are orbiting in the stratosphere with New York. It is an amazing thing: They\ can’t hit, they can’t field and they can't lose.’ unless of course they are playing

Baltimore.

“What is even more astonishing than the Senators’ lofty ﬂight is the manner, in which it was achieved. It must be

attributed, in the first plac the president of the club.

SELF-DENIAL DOCTRINE “Even since taking over, from his famous father, Calvin has operated the front office in accordance with the Calvinistic doctrine of self-denial. While other teams were seeking good players, he denied himself this soft and easy procedure. When a player of big-league stature developed unexpectedly on the Senators’ roster, Calvin did not hesitate. He traded him at once.” Speaking of the ‘new-found joy in Washington these days, ‘James Reston, the author, continues. “These events have led to several innovations at Griffith Stadium. For example, the ‘Senators are now playing before people, and this is «true not only in the evening, but sometimes in the afternoon.

“At a matinee between the Senators and the Kansas City ‘Athletics 15,895 customers appealred to watch two performances. Heretofore an afternoon game between these two clubs would have drawn no more of a/congregation than a Senate debate onthe price of lead and zinc". ’

Well the Senators are making good copy-for 1 while at

‘ least.

Remember when Fred Haney was doing time with the. St. Louis Browns and the Pittsburgh Pirates? One of his chief worries in those dark days was tq_find a pitcher that could start a ball game. He has those troubles no more.

As boss man of the world champion Milwaukee Braves, Haney’s problems are of a different nature. He has strong armed young men hanging from the clubhouse rafters, some of them in danger of drying up due to inactivity.

‘The proper rotation of a well balanced staff is most im- portant. Too many pitchers can complicate matters just as too few can. But it’s a deﬁnite truth that any other National League manager would welcome such a problem.

So far Burdette, Buhl and Spahn have been the only pitchers enjoying full-time employment. Conley, Rush and Trowbridge started games just gften enoug-h‘to give the Big Three three

days rest.

Haney feels that these top three need only three days be- tween games at this stage of the race. However he adds that when the weather gets warmer he will harm to work in another

starter.

Poor Haney. Everyone should shed a few tears for him. 5|! it # It 1

If anybody should know what the various pitchers throw,

it’: the umpires.

A The men in black are a most competent lot and a glimpse at their background might indeed be in order. So here goes for a peek at the boys in the National League.

Ken Burkhart pitched for the Cardinals and the Redlegs winning 18 games as a major league freshman in 1945.

Jocko Conlan was formerly a White Sox outfielder.

Vin Smith caught for the Pirates. for the Giants. Frank Secory served brieﬂy

Several Maior Leaguers Making Great Com eloacks

Vic Wertz, Cleveland's regular first sacker, thrust Vernon into the spotlight and the veteran has ‘come through handsomely. Mickey is hitting .373 with’ two home runs and 10 runs batted in.

Kluszewski, who missed most of last season because of back trouble, has hit safely in his last seven games and walloped four homers in his last four games. He has lifted his average to .240 with 12 runs batted in.

Among the other players show- ing vast improvement over their 1957 performances are Harvey Kuenn of Detroit, Jack Harsh- man of Baltimore, Peter Runnels of Boston and Bobby Avila of Cleveland.

COMEBACK TRAIL .

Kuenn slumped to .277 last year after winding up with.a solid .332 average in 1956. His current per- centage is .347.

Harsh-man compiled an 8-8 pitching mark for Chicago White Sox last season. But Baltimore manager Paul Richards decided to take a chance on the left- hander who has been plagued by a chronic back condition. And the gamble paid off. Harshman has won five games and has yet to be beaten. .

Runnels, s .230 batter with Washington last year has come back to post a current .326 aver- age with Boston.

Avila, the American League batting champion with a .341

average in 1954, has hit no higher than .272 since then. His 1958 fig- ure is a neat .313.

Pitchers Red Garv-er of Kansas City and Billy Hoeft of Detroit also are moving smartly along the comeback trail. Each has won -three games and lost one. Garver, a 20—game winner with St. Louis Browns in 1951, had a 6-13 record last season. Hoeft won 20 in 1956 but tailed off to a 9-11 mark in the following campaign.
