TIME HAS ARRIVED
TO GET PITCHERS
Washington Has Short- landed Staff for This Year
and Next-Athletics' Hopes Based on
Slim Chance
BY THOMAS S. RICE.

The apathy OF which the Washington
club has been accused in the matter OF
getting new players for next year has
been explained on the GROUND that the
club did not draft from the minors be-
cause it grabbed everybody It could by
purchase. IL he looked good
Now the need for hustling In the pur-
chase line is greater than ever. and
something should be doing in the course
OF the next month in tie matter of
getting seasoned pitchers. If Walter
Jokrnson's arm is In such shape that he
win not play again this season, then
the club ts in a real mess. Doc Refs
ling is showing flashes Of form, and
Gray occasionally puts UP a pretty good
game. but they are about all that is
left of the guard who can accomplish
any results. johnson was counted upon
to assist this, and with him out
of It there Will not be twirlers
enough left TO give the fairly good ones
sufficient rest. The announcement that
the owners have bought few more
slaornen would come as welcome sur
prise. for walker Is about the only
youngster Of consequence 20 join the
club next year.

Even at that the Quakers have to ad-
nit that their principal hope is for
the Detroit Tigers to slump, and there
is no apparent reason why that slump
should happen Detroit is going at a
great gait, and when the lineup is
examined no faltering is found. The
fact that the Athletics came from be-

One of the funny things about Charley
Murphy. president Of the Chicago Cubs.
IS that he SO often fails 70 see the light
In which his own words make him APP
pear. The latest outbreak of the vol
uble Charles is that in which he &C
cuses Johnny Heydler Of being too small
man for president of the NduOndl
League. At the same time he admits
that the reason why he takes this view
is that Mr. Heydler was big enough to
overrule Murphy on a number Of points
and get away with IT, The inference Is
that if Heydler had been small enough
TO let Murphy bulldOZe him he would
have been big as president. Great op-
pprtunity I'm this for some Dutch dialect
comedian to make few gags.

The poor financial success Of the post
