...year-old Bobby Kuhel the best times of all were those Sundays when his Dad sent him to fetch the .22-caliber pistol out of his dresser drawer for some target practice at the U.S. Army rifle range. As manager of the Chase Manhattan Bank's servicemen's branch in Heidelberg, German-born John William Kuhel was a welcome guest at the range, and he and Bobby were both crack shots...
...sure, he fired his manager of the past two seasons, Joe Kuhel. Later, he proudly announced the purchase of Irv Noren, a promising outfielder from the Pacific Coast League, for $70,000. Last week, Griffith swung another deal he knew would please Washington fans: he signed up Stanley Raymond ("Bucky") Harris, his 52-year-old former "boy-wonder" manager, whom he had fired twice before...

A harder hitting team and, man for man, more impressive on the strength of batting and fielding averages, the Senators this year developed a crack centre fielder, Fred Schulte, to replace Sam West whom Owner Clark Griffith surprisingly traded last spring. Their young first baseman, Joe Kuhel, is a hard hitter and usually a good base-runner though he nearly delayed the Senators' pennant-clinching last week by falling asleep on third base in the important game with St. Louis. Teams which function unexpectedly in the regular season may function even more strangely when they play...
