BR something happened to La2- 4, and they stuck Lee in the field. It wasn't long before they had to put wire screéms over the club-housp windows at Phil's park to keep Cl from smashing the win- dows with hislong wallops, and any time a blow was needed to grab a ball game,,it was usually Lee who contributed the required punch. One of his feats In the early stages of his activities was to estadbish himself as } only living human being who Bas ever hit a fair ball over the left Sold at the Phillies' park In a regu- 1ar ball game. Then 'the Phils got Mokar from Pirates and about the same time Leste suffered an injury, so they moved Lee to first base. By this time he was beginning to get used to Sesnery looking at it from the play fag field in, instead of from the players' bench out, and his hits grew vehement and more profolic. In one series against Cincinnati, Lee thumped out five home runs, get- ting his fourth and fifth in the final game, his total number of hits for the four games being nine--nine blows, five of which were home runs is four games, isn't at ll bad. But in the gery next game, the opening game igainst the Cubs, Lee thumped another one out of the lot, and then followed this in the next game, with his seventh home run in six consecu- tive games. \ The joke of this is that In the first game, after Leslie was hurt, Wright. stone was put on first base. The next game Rixley was out there pitching against the Phils, and as Eppa hurls with his off-paw and Wrightstone is & left-handed hitter, Wreightstone had to sit. on the bench and give Lee & chance to first base. All Mr. Lee | tional did that afternoon, was to slam Mr. Rixey for two home runs and a sin. gle, so they just naturally had to let him stick in the ball game. a Following in the footsteps of Red Russell, another "reformed" big leage pitcher, is headed back tow- ards the big leagues in a new role. Out in Salt Lake City, Paul Strand, once a pitcher with the Boston Braves, but now first basing for the Balt Lake Bees, is tearing the quiver. ing kide oft Coast League pitching. His latest average show him to be thumping the cigate for .408. He hae been at bat 458 times, has made 187 hits, thirty-three of them being doubles, ten tripples and eighteen home runs. In one series of seven games with Sacrements, he assulted the pitehers for nineteen loud and lusty blows, of which five were doubles and three home runs.
