and can be expected to make an improved
showing from this out.
Detroit critics are OF the opinion that
Washington would have won every one
of the four games. for. barring an error
or two. which was responsible for the de-
feat on two occasions. McAleer's men
outplayed the Tigers. The hitting OF the
Nationals has been excellent in the games
there and II they can keep up the pace
with the bat there is nothing to be feared
from the long stretch of games at home.
What is most encouraging. however. IL
the fact that the pitchers gave signs of
coming to life. Groom, Walker and john

they did during the beginning OF the
trip. Weakness on the slab has been the
teams principal failing this spring, and

McGraw, for instance, seemed to have
been stung when he paid $1,000 for
Marquard several years ago. The young

held on to him. He was always showing
flashes and McGraw felt satisfied that in
