he will change his mind when next

Hugh Jennings still has the nucleus
for good ball team. If the Tigers can
be fortunate enough to bolster up their
pitching staff. and they appear to have
picked two or three likely youngsters,

time it's pitchers working good. and
with that bit of chained lightning Bush

it is no easy task to build up winning
team Luck will have to favor Jennings
when he selects youngsters for his team
and it sometimes requires years to get
the players needed.

position we'll. and has most deceptive
motion to first base. where on two
different occasions he caught runners
mapping.
Coachers at first base would be
spared a lot of senseless abuse if spec
tators would realize that 1t is not the
coacher's fault when a base runner
is caught off the bag by quick throw
from the pitcher. 1t stands to reason
that by the time the pitchers motion
is noticeable to the coacher the ball
is usually on the way to the bag. and
that by the time the coacher calls the
attention of the runner the play is
usually completed. The base runners
are the ones who are at fault when
they are caught off. and usually only
good base runners fall into the trap.
for the poor ones never take any
chances by getting long lead.
Chick Gandil is proving himself the
most consistent hitter on the local team
He has not missed a game without get
ting one or more hits in the last ter
games. and he seems to be improving
with the bat every day. Next to Gand

the rest of the team is not causing the
opposing pitchers much trouble. Oar
Moeller is in one of his batting sIulnps
right now. He gets into one OF these
every season. but gradually works him
self out of them. and it is to be hoped
that this will be soon. for it makes a lo'
of difference in the Nationals offensive
work when Dan is not getting on the
bases.
Ray Morgan got back in the lineup yes
