But wonders have been accomplished
this year. When the bell tapped last
April even the most hopeful and san
guine could wish for nothing more than
that the team might finish at the head
of the second division. Such hopes were
not publicly expressed for fear Of the
ridcule they would bring forth. The
Nationals of last spring We're like many
teams which had preceded it, 1t was
experimental. Much praise had been
shoWered upon the newcomers and the
new manager. but. after all, who could
figure or suspect that Washington was
to have a team which would prove a con-
tender in the race. Forty years of fall
ures seemed insurnnountable barrier
to overcome. Some believed the town
was buried under sonr& sort OF a jinX SO
far as base ball was concerned; others
argued that effort was really ever
made to bring a. winner here. The start
was not unusual. Sometimes the team
Won. but most of the time it lost. Not
until Juno was reached did 1t begin to
show some rather astounding form, and
to the spurprisc of the base ball world
made ore entire western trip without
losing game, actually winning
seventeen straight. From that time on
to the finish the team has been in the
race. Until five weeks ago it still had
a chance To finish at the top an honor
which, however. went TO Boston Since
then the fight has been for second place,
and that was not definitely settled until
yesterday.
The Nationals of 1919 were quite differ
ent from amy team which had previously
represented this city. 1t was a strong
Well-balanced team, which, once it got
into its stride. played consistent ball. But
one of the seven others beat it in the
race. and six finished below it-a most
remarkable achievement for team
which i'm forty years had never finished
in the first division of any race it was
entered in.
Credit for this wonderful showing nat
urally belongs to the man I'm charge.
Clark Griffith has proven himself the
most successful manager Washington
has ever had. and 1t has had many. True
he did not have much to do with the
bringing here of the players who made
the good showing possible. But one man

Washington on the base ball map. This
city will no longer have to be the butt
of every joke concerning the National
game. The team is established. and
better things may be expected of it in the
future.
Base ball dope or statistics are not very
reliable. and yet it seems safe to predict
that i'm the next race the Nationals should
be. to say the least. just as prominent as
they have been this year Griffith's team
is SO made up that it should improve by
next year. A majority of his players
have just seen their first year in fast
company. They should be better next
year than they were this. Incidentally,
their showing in the campaign which
closed yesterday has given the city and
its team a certain prestige which it laced
heretofore, all of which helps more than
q little.

Didn't Try to Win.

If il hadn't been for that home run the
Washington's might have finished in
front. Probably the only citizen on the
ground who objected was a gentleman
who runs a shop down in the lower part
of the city. He had wagered his coin
that Washington would win. 1t wasn't
much coin, but he is one of those peculiar
citizens with fondness for coin of any
kind. His friend with whom he made the
bet of 30 cents or so insisted that the bet
must stand. Bud Grif wasn't drying y

They were still arguing and wandering

Hughes had to make a fight to win
and finally Griffith had TO take him out of

was playing every card to win. The

NEW YORK, October 5.-If
anything blew across the Poto-

which sounded like the moan of
scragetherium in pain or the
squawk OF dying pterodactyl
it wasn't either, but only Nick
Altrock giving vent to a low
gurgle OF joy when he heard Grif

across the field OF the Highland
ers in this city. "Hooray, take 'em
OUT
1t was a signal between Grit
and his team. The Washington
manager was sitting on the wire
between the Hilltop and Phila-
delphia. When he heard the ninth
inning flashed from the City of
Quakers his face expanded wider
than pumpkin, and with shrek
OF JOY he tried to crawl through
the wire netting and shake hands
with the press gang.
Take 'em outr he yelled again,
and pursuant to order there be-
gan a shift of the Washingtons
by which the team couldn't recog-
nize itself. Altrock pitched,
Schaefer went to second, Ryan to
third, Morgan to short, Alger to
first, and before the fray was over.
Grit was pitching and playing
second base. All hostilities ceased
with the news from Philadelphia.
The Washingtons probably could
have beaten the Highlanders if
they had cared to exert them
selves. They simply didn't give
a sou after they had found that
they did not have to win to hold
second place. Why even Grit was
SO good that he went in the box
to pitch, and tossed the ball SO
squarely over the plate that his
old friend. Hal Chase, batted it
a mile or SO over Moeller's head
for a home run.
There were two on bases at thetime, and
as Chase and ''Grif'' were conspiring over
on one side of the field before the hit
was made. there We're some who imagined
that the Washington manager didn't
care much. but was trying to let New
York finish the season with victory for
good luck next year-and the Lord knows
that they need il.
