For the first time this season, the Redlegs possess a two game winning streak, having whipped the Pirates a', Pittsburgh Friday 9 5, thanks to the big. bat or Frank McCormick. That win gave them an even break on the six game swing through the West. Big Frankle punched out a 390 foot homer and a long double to drive in live of the Reiileg tallies. All of the Reds with the exception of Harry Craft and the two pitchers Ray Starr mid Fireman Joe Beggs banged out at least one hit In the eleven hit attack off a quintet of Pirate chuckkcrs.

Ival Goodman with four for four led the attack, and Rookie Jeo Abrcu, substituting for the injured Lonnie Frey at second, poked out a homer and got the lour run Redlc uprising under way in the fourth by drawing a pass. The 'Kcds added four more Jn the sixth and their final In the seventh. Starr on the Hill Starr, making season, had a shuto: i until Ills control went sour In the sixth, plus trying to throw a last ball past Pinch hitter Babe Phelps, with the bases loaded, two strikes and no balls on the former Dodger and two outs. The Babe lined it over short for a hase clcanhig double, and Beggs was hustled to the veteran righthander's rescue. Beggs did no', have his usual stun, but, thanks to some splendid support by Abreu, Eddie Joost, and the always reliable Goodman, managed to keep the Buccos out of the scoring column, to fiive Starr bis first vie tory.

The new lesson that Mr. Mark lias learned Is that pitching Is 90 per cent of baseball. "I used to think that pitching ras about 10 per cent the ie said, "but I've had to change im mind.

Now take the Yankees. They still have that grand pitching staff and they'll tough to beat. But they are not going to run away with the pennant again because he Rod Sox Footsteps merely means one team vtnrtprl ahead of the other.

Mack, who now is in his forty second season of managing the Athletics, lakes exception to those who say that the Yankee pitching consists of quantity and not quality.

Because Joe McCarthy didn't lave a 20 game winner on his staff ast season," Mack said, "that in that he didn't have plenty of quality. Those fellows Just didn't get to pitch enough to win 20 games. Look what they did In the World Series five pitchers started and four finished.

PLAY GOLF With By BYRON NELSON Master of the What is the most common mistake the average golfer makes in trying to improve his game? I think it is blindly following the form of some expert, assuming that golf style is static. For example Joe Doakes may like the way his professional takes a long back swing. But Die professional Ls six feet three inches tall, lean and lank In build. Doakes who geis out from his office desk only tv.ice a week, is short and fat.

He gets an Incorrect mental picture of the right swing for his build. He may be tied up in the back. Because of his stomach expanse, he has to reach for the ball. He should use a three quarters swing. Doakes must also use a golf club that's flat, not upright.

The tall keeps his swing In close to his body to prevent It from collapsing. His build gives him all 1lM ft uiid ct l'i instructive armies. 1 stout Sf.i.V OOtFEP SHOULD gyVADAr TT'li ATOHIS BI LP, Al A) TO SATURDAY. APRIL 25. 194 Red Hot Red Bird ST.
