LAVE CROSS TO Be CAPTAIN
viii Have Charge of Nationals on
the Field.
Is the Logical OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
with the Champion Athletics VIII
Make Him "a Valuable Aid.

Lave Cross will captain the Nationals
next season.
While no definite announcement has
been made by Manager Joe CantillOn, an
official Of the club is responsible for the
announcement that Cross is practically
the only player under consideration for
the honor.
Although Cantillon will be a bench
manager, he has decided to don uni
form and 90 on the coaching lines while
Washington is at the bat. While this
will be Of considerable assistance to the
team in developing some intelligent base
runners, il is necessary 10 have a direct
ing hand while the team is in the field,
and Cross is the logical candidate for
the place.
Cross viii not be new to the job, as
he captained the champion Athletics
when the Philadelphians were the sensa-
ton of the American League. Last year
Lave was a big help to Jake Stahl, and
this year, working with Cantillon, he
should be able TO pull the club out Of
many a tight place by using the judg-
ment which made him famous when he
was with Connie Macks outfit
Cross spent several days last week in
cage. where he will probably have a talk
with Stahl and attempt to influence the
former manager to reconsider his de-
cision not to play in Washington.
