very large element of the fans here is
under the impression that Cantillon
does berate mis- men with too much
strong language and that they are too
dlSgTunued TO show their real ability
on the field. This explanation is prob
ably unjust, or, at least, greatly eX-
aggerated, bat il is what the fans are
slipping themselves, the newspapers, and
the directors. 1t is handicap Cantil-
Ion must overcome II the team is to rise

larlty he attained when prospects we're
so rosy this spring.
His Return Not Certain.
Both the Washington morning papers
quote Cantillon directly this morning
as saying, The job is mine. if l want
it" or words TO that effect. This
sweet confidence is touching, but may
be misplaced. as we have stated. Il
is about a 3-to-2 shot-probabIy less
that Cantillon viii be here again next
year, but to judge from all that can
be learned from those most concerned,
no better odds should be offered. He
may be the victim Of circumstances,
and the writer believes that he is, to
a great extent; but the steady stream
Of protest and knocking which has set
in against him since the team has
proved such a miserable disappoint-
ment. simply cannot be ignored BY the
owners. CantillOn has from now to the
end of the season TO deliver the goods
or present a front that viii allay the
sentiment against his management. II
he does not he will probably decide
that he does not want the job

He was greatly disappointed that he

Fans Prejudiced.

There is a growing conviction among
the fans of Washington that Cantillon's
system Of harding his men is defective
and that because Of his mistaken meth
DDS he is not getting the best possible
results from those at his command
This idea has always existed since ne
came here, and was, IN the writer's
opinion, a mistaken one. The recent
reverses have given new life 20 the

that is true no one is in a position TO
say, for every player has his own views
on the individual treatment awarded

Paste this in your hat.
The directors of the Washington BAH
club have not considered officially the
| reappointment OF Joe Cantillon as man
ager foI next year.
Further-The directors of the club are
in a receptive mood and want to be
shown results.
Still further-If the club does not show
enough Improvement TO revive the
dropping spirits of the Washington
faus, there is an exceedingly stron6
probability that he viii not be here next
year.
The writer is not knocking, neither are
the directors-but the fans are. That's
a cinch Fans represent money, AMI
the owners of the club have 40 desife

Statements Unwarranted

the directors have tactitIy come TO an
agreement about signing Joe Centillon

tract. which expires this year, are en-
