The return of Tom Hughes to his best
form means great deal 10 the Washington
club. lac is undoubtedly one of the best
twiriers in the country and is willing To al
most pitch his arm off for Cantillon.
Hughes hurt his arm while pitching In Chi
Cago on the second trip of the club to the
west. and 1t became worse and worse until
lie couldn't throw a ball fifty feet Two Of
the main igaments became crossed in some
way and made the arm useless. Tom has
been doing splendid work for the Wash hing
tons this season. and the fans will be de-
lighted 10 hear that he g once more back
In his true form. With Patten and Falken-
berg going w"ll and Hughes and Johnson
AL right there is likely to be lots of trouble
In store for those clubs who expect to wind
up here this fall and fatten up their per-
c-ntage in games won and batting.
Hughes on the New Men.
Hughes was asked about the new men.

ing opinion. He said however. that he
didn't think Kay would do unless he was
whipped into shape In a fast minor leag que,
and the same applies to Pitcher Tonkin
Milan and Smith are all right There is
Il treat in store for the Washington people
when they first get their peppers on this
pair OF youngsters. Milan is as fast as
creased lightning. both in fielding and on
the bases, and can hit to beat the band.

as Charley Jones. and from that YOU know
he must be good one. Tony Smith is
SIMPLY a wonder at short. and he reSem-

some. He has been ordering everybody
around since he Joined the team. and he is
just as funny as he is nervy didn't
get much OF a chance to see him work and
l can't express an opinion on his ability
Another funny thing is to see the club
gong and coming from the grounds and
enough to hold the party: there are not
enough suits To go around, and the bench
Is generally crowded with a dozen living
around on the grass. Cantillon told me at
A!eIEu that II the club didn't hit several
big crowds in Cleveland and Detroit he
was going to send half OF the bunch home
by freight

Organized Roofing at Chicago.
The Nationals have had successful trip
financially, good crowds being played to in

said,

members in Chicago. formed within a week
or two. called the hooters Club. II was or

White SOX win the pennant again by root
ing hard for them at their home games.
This club has its cheering and singing
together and root as YOU have never heard
roofing at a base bali game before. They
have their slogans like colleges and cheer
continually when not singing. And they
