may go all the way. Bill Bruton,
Jake Wood and Chico Fernadez
of the Detroit Tigers. Jake is the
Tiger lead off man and Bruton
is following him. They were the
key men in the Tiger's last winning streak. Jake is leading Ute lea
gue in stolen oases with 15. He
is so fast that last week against
Cleveland he scored from second
base on a sacrifice fly te center
field. He Is hitting .259. has five
homers and 22 RBIs. Bruton is
.270, eight homers, 33 RBIs and

came Into his own last year with
the Tigers. He is .252, eight homers and 22 runs batted in.
9 CHUCK IIINTON, of the
Washington Senators, ls another
comparatively unknown player
who is doing well this year, with
a .282 average, four homers, six
stolen bases and 16 RBIs.
Elston Howard, like a lot of his
Yankee teammates, is having a
hard time this year hitting his
stride. Elston is hitting .284, but
he has 32 runs batted in and seven
homers.
# TWO ROOKIES third seekers arc not doing too badly: Felix
Torres of Los Angeles and Ed
Charles of Kansas City. Torres Is
.238, with 13 RBIs and Charles is
.226, with 17 RBIs and four homers.
Willie Kirkland of Cleveland has
been a disappointment as far as
hitting batting average is concerned but he has hit timely in
the clutch. Although he is hitting
around .212, he has driven in S3
runs and rapped out nine homers.
9 EARL WILSON, the Boston
Red Sox hurler who is up for the
third time, has won himself a
starting position with the Red

of a three game winning streak
until he ran into the hot hitting
Indians over the weekend. Now
ids record for the season ls 3-2.
Jim Grant, the Cleveland weekend hurler, Is 3-0 for the season
but this perfect record is more
luck than piching, for Jim has
been fortunate that he was not
around when several ot the games
which he started were lost. Jim
has had trouble going past the
sixth inning. He is in the Army
and is only available on week
ends. He used his 30 day furlough
last month to play with the Indians.
