Than It Was When Cantillon Left

his predecessors. But it is going to be
hard job. The most competent man
coming here at this time must be given
fair chance. He can not be expected
to perform miracles and turn a seventh
place team into a first divis, on contender.
The structure has to be rebuilt. There is
but part of a foundation to be used and
1t will take lots of time and more work
to improve conditions here.
While it is as good as settled that most
of the old players will be found elsewhere
next season, there is as yet nothing to
indicate that the new men will be an
Improvement over them. So far one or
two of the youngsters tried out have
shown enough to warrant the prediction
that they will improve. but it usually
takes several years to bring even the
most promising youngster to the form
which a winning team demands.
But there is always a chance for the
youngsters to improve, while the players
who have served ten or more years are
more apt to start on the down grade.
Consequently. the best policy to pursue
will be one which will eventually de-
not be done in single season. however.
and the new manager must take UP the
work where McAleer left off.
Since the season of 1907 the first year
that Cantillon was here. just four players
who rank up with the top notchers in
the league have been developed here.
They are Johnson. Milan, Street and Nc
Bride. ont since the coming Of this
qlartette has any material been secured
which has been of any special benefit to
the team which has failed to ever finish
higher than seventh. But the fact that
only these good ball players have been
brought TO the front from the minors does
not indicate that such a system of build
ing up winner is necessarily SO slow.
for there is no denying the fact that
heretofore the efforts to develop players
have been badly neglected.
The more one studies the makeup of
the local team and sees its needs the more
insurmountable seems The task of Nc

Whoever it may be that is. selected to
manage the Nationals next season is not
going to have smooth sailing. The team
showing this year has been such that out
little is to be expected in the immediate
future unless some of the purchased ana

team will need a whole lot of good ball
players to make i. anything like con-
tender in the race.
This has been one of the most disap-
pointing seasons in the history OF dhe
club. Because of the much improved
showing the team made last year 1t was
believed to be in fair way to crawl up
in the race, but instead it seems to nave
deterorated more than it improved last
season. Compared with six other of the
seven teams the Nationals look padiy

MAPS HIT JOHNSON
FOR IS BASE HITS
Nationals Star TWirIer Has
Off Day and Is Poorly
Supported.
Knapp PROVES AN
ENIGMA TO LOCALS
Allows But Three Hits and
Gives Five Passes, Which
Secures But One Run.
BY j. ED GRILLE.

The five or six thousand fans who
ventured 10 National Park yesterday
with the expectation of seeing Walter
johnson NOV down the Maps came away
sadly disappointed. for il happened to
be one of those rare occasions WREN the
big pitcher was not at himself and the
visitors made thirteen hits for total
OF twenty-one bases off of his delivery.
1t is perhaps needless to sa. who won
under such conditions, but the count was
to l.
Johnson's delivery was, perhaps the
easiest thing the Maps have stumbled
against on the present trip. They started
TO hit him from the time the bell sounded
and only stopped after the seventh in
ming when their lead was safe. Opposed
to johnson was the diminutive Mr.. Knapp,
a wee lad TO be sure, but unlike his
rival. he had something and that some
thing held the locals to three widely
scattered hits. The fact hat he issued
five passes only helped to break the
monotony of not seeing any of the locals
on the sacks. But one of these passes
resulted in a tally. and 1t was the only
one the Nationals secured during the
afternoon. krapp's support was in keep
ing with his pitching. Birmingham, Ball
and Olsen did their share to hold the
the game on Easy street Jackson and
Lajoie looked after that end of the at
fair.
With Johnson il was quite different. To
begin with he seemed to miss Street from
behind the bat. Henry had his troubles
handling the speedy delivery of the cata-
pult pitcher, while others of his support
wobbled more than the score would indl-
cate. And when it comes to discussing
the offensive end of the game there is
little TO offer in defense of the Nationals
further than to say that they couldn
hit. There We're, of course, some oppor-
tunities for runs offered as the ave passes
which Knapp issued would Indicate but
at such stages the little man with the
spit ball was a master, and with one ex-
ception all those who reached the bags
died there.
