New York. April 1S.-The Nationals
may be without the services OF Chick
Gandil, star first sacker, when Boston
comes to the Capital next Tuesday, as
Gandil automatically fired himself from
the ball game in the ninth inning today
by handing out a line of talk to Umpire
Bill Dineen that would not look good
In print
Dineen, in his re- ort to President Ban
Johnson, may recommend q short lay-o6
for Gandil. in which case suspension
will inevitably follow. It all depends
upon what the umpire has to say to the
American League car.
II Gandil's services should be lost to
the Nationals during the all-important
Boston Red Sox series, the team would
be 10 per cent weaker, as Chick Is hit
ting the ball like a fiend these days and
putting up wonderful fielding game.
In an effort to make 1t three straight,
Manager Griffith plans to pitch Walter
Johnson against the Highlanders here
tomorrow, and the Old Fox predicts that
Walters great speed will be twice as
effective on the Polo Grounds as on
any other ball park in either league. ow-
ing to the construction of the immense
grand stand and bleachers.
The fans in Washington who are IA
miliar with the layout of the Polo
Grounds will remember that the massive
double-decker grand stand, in the shape
of a horseshoe, extends to the foul lines
in both right and left fields, and that
the end of this horseshoe-formed stadium
is backed by wooden bleachers towering
several hundred feet in the air, conse-
quently the infield playing space is with
out sun. and dark enough to make it
difficult to see the ball clearly when 1t
comes from the pitcher. johnson, with
his tremendous speed, should work to
good advantage, especially II the day
should happen to be cloudy.
As every member Of the Nationals is
hitting and the team playing good ball,
the Highlanders will be more than lucky
to win even one game out OF the present
series. On Monday Joe Engel or Gallia
will be sent in to pitch.
According to the New York players
and baseball writer's, who have seen the
Boston Red Sox in action this season.
Griffith's Nationals right now should
walk away with the majority of games
played early in the season.
Either the Red Sox are suffering from
a bad case Of swelled heads or else the
men did not get the right kind of train
ing" said a prominent member Of the
New Yorks here tonight. For they did
not look nearly as strong to us as Grit
fth's team. and Washington should beat
them easily"
The games next week. when the Ma
tionals tackle both Boston and Philadel-
phia, will determine the class of the
Washington outfit, and If the Griffmen
are able to go West in first place, moth
ing will stop these youngsters. They
are. perhaps, just a little overconfident
now. but IL is the kind Of confidence
Griff likes. and the Old Fox is happy
as a boy with a new toy.

waved him away.
The Yanks never should have scored in the second.
