McALEER WILL PRESENT
BUT FEW NEW FACES

With the exception OF John
Henry at first base, Jim McAleer
will present the same team On
opening day against the Boston
Red Sox that he finished the
last season with.
There will be one great advan-
tage, however. When- the team
started the last season It was far
from In good cOndifi0u, and this
proved a serious handicap, being
responsible for q poor start In
the race. This spring, however,
there are reasons for believing
that the Nationals are 1T to GO
the route, and predictions are
made that the team will get q
good start In the race.
just who Will pitch the opener
has not yet been definitely de-
eided, but since Walter johnson
has gone TO his home, It seems
almost certain that the honor
will fall on Dolly Gray, who in
the spring practice games has
shown most brilliant form. II It
II not Gray IL will likely be Wal
ker, though the Ieft-hander Il
sure TO he given the preference.
Though the OutAeld last season
was hardly up to the standard,
IL u believed that Milan, Gessler
and LeIiveIt will show Improve
menf this year. should either Of
them fail, McAleer will most
likely give Conway q trial, for
that youngster has been swing
ing On the ball with q vengeance
and stands q chance to make
good. But IL II hoped that the
been assigned to those positions
will hold their own there, In
which event the teams chances
for q good position I'm the race
will be better than ever. for
there In NO fault to be found
with the inAeld.

That Is saving a good DEAL but any COM

liar view. Groom's fault is that he
needs that which the crowds say to him.
He Is extremely sensitive and 1t is this
fact which has prevented him from being
one Of the leading pitchers in the league.
But Groom will make a great pitcher If
the fans will help him. Let his mistakes
go by unnoticed a few times SO that he
will get confidence and Groom will be a
winner.
In the game Friday, for instance. he
started poorly. hitting two men and
