der Marquard's name when he was sup
posed to write about the world s series,
and besides the RUDE was q long while
getting to the training camp last
spring He seemed to think that he
was so we'll established that he did
not have to train, and as a result he
did not have near as successful sea-
son as the year. previous.
McGraw figures that he will be able
to make an advantageous deal at this
time, where he might have to give the
Rube- away by waiting another season
before making a change.
Griffith's decision not to allow any OF
his players to join the world tourists
may prove a wise move. That young
pitchers like Lorenz and Russell are
jeopardizing their future by pitching dur
ing the off season goes without saying
and the effect of their. deterioration on
their respective, teams may mean several
hotches in the race. Ball players are
benefited by the rest they take during
the winter for under present conditions
where they are forced to go into training
in March. they are under strain for
something like, seven months out of the
year, and the five months rest is abso-
lutely necessary.
Walter Johnson had the most success

and there are reasons for believing that
his next viii be as good ifsnot better.
Johnson has developed into "a wise pitch
er, which, in addition to his wonderful
natural ability. almost makes him III.
yincible. It took Johnson just about four
years to learn the art of pitching. He
was always a remarkable performer. but
experience helped him. lot. and he
should be even better next season than
he has ever been.
with Johnson almost certain to win
thirty-five or forty games the Nationals;
have an enormous advantage over their
rivals, for 1t requires but two other con-
sistent pitchers to keep the team high up
in the race.
