Only in 1944 have the Nationals

They captured that game, |7-1, in

cancelled because of war-time trav

history of the classic has be^n one
of frustration for the senior group.
Blanked 12*0 in the horrible

A home run by John Mize'with

New Vork—The Clevtland Ind
ians had counted on their veterans
to gain them their-second straight
flag but it may remain for a
strong, young rookie to lead them
back to the top. I
l \ ' V / * J
Husky Mike Garcia, 25-yeat-old
California-born hurler, may haul
the Indians up wi{h Bus strong
right iarm. Garcia j has blinding
speed, good control, arid he has
just learned to throw a curve.
The rookie began the season in
relief, where he compiled a sensa
tional game-saving record when
the Indians needed it most. He is
performing equally well in >a start
ing role., leaving Manager Lou
Boudreau the problem of where
to use Garcia in the future. Chanc
es art* he will employ, Mike’s tal
ents both in relief and ias a start
er. Garcia likes plenty ofi work.
“Mike can win as a starter,”
says Boudreau. “But he’s such a
terrific relief pitcher I haje to
take him out of the bullpen, Mike
has ; that real good fast hall he
can 'throw by the hitters when
there are runners on l the bases.
That’s especially valuable to a re-i
lief pitcher.”
The game that really got Garcia
going, and jufeed up the Indian
pennant hopes, was a ndat three-
hitter he threw, at the Yankees
to beat them 3-1 and complete a
sweep of a .double-header.
Early Wynn was plated i to pitch

him to {he hospital. Second choice.L
