Not Enough Money.

In my opinion, Mr.. McAleer is doing
about as well as any manager could DO
under the same conditions. Unless the
Nationals have all the best Of the luck
and have the good fortune to pick up
more than an average number Of young
stars, they are getting about all that is
coming to them IL they can maintain
an average Of about 400 per cent. Past
records will show that We have drafted
less, purchased less. and had less scouts
than any other major league team in the
country. There's a reason. We have
less money because we are the smallest
city in the big circuits. Eliminate the
colored population of 100000. who con-
tribute but little to the support OF a
baseball team, and you have left a pop
ulation less than the smallest city in
the Eastern League, Glass A, minor
league. I have heard fans say they
ought TO boycott the team and compel
them to produce a winner.
Such a course would probably force
Washington out OF the big league and
let in Buffalo. Providepce, Newark, or
Baltimore. would rather trail the big
pennants. II we don't win, We at least
have a chance to see the stars OF other
American League teams perform. The
condition OF the grounds has kept down
the attendance, hurt the box Office, de-
Perforated interest. and naturally takes
some OF the ginger and stick-to-it-ive-
ness out Of the players.

Not FnuIt of Players.

In trying to explain the trouble with
the Washington team, 1t seems to me
that the main trouble is with the men
behind the club. The club will stand
for anything that is showed at them,
never kicking. never fighting back; taking
things as they come; never pulling of
any big deals; in fact. never showing any
enterprise or ability to compete with
the shrewd, up-to-date, wide-awake own
'ers Of other major league clubs. The
owners OF this team are too slow, and too
weak-kneed to stand up for their own
rights. After all, some team has to be
last, why not the city that best patron
izes a loser? y

Team simply HopeIess.

Being a resolute fan who has regularly
spent his time and money at the ball
park when a game was on, wish to say
of the condition of the Washington team:
1t Is hopeless. II the owners are willing
for Mr.. McAleer TO spend money to i'm
prove the team, he is a failure. II the
trouble is they won't let him have tthe
money. then he ought to be ashamed to
travel around the country with such an
aggregation, not more than two or three
Of whom ought to be in the major league.
The manly thing to do is to follow the
example of Mcguire. of Cleveland.
There has been so little effort to better
the team since Cantillon left. to cause
change, there is but one thing fans can
do to remedy the outrage-stay away
from the park.
