The Bees can boast .V the 'coding pitcher in the National in Ray Benge who has won four and lost none Danny MacFayden. acquired from the Cincinnati Reds last year, is the boy that is staging the big comeback. He nly won six games all hast year whi'e losing 15. but this eason he already has registered four victories in eix etarts. MacFayden had to come to the’ relief of Lanning in the fifth yesterday after the Pittsburgh Pirates had lied the ount at 3-3. Danny not only held the Buccaneers scoreless for the remaining five innings, but scored the winning run in the 10th.
