BOB THAYER'S GOSSIP
ON SPORTING MATTERS

There Is no denying the fact that
Griffth's fiery tongue has had some
thing to do with the present fne
showing Of the Nationals. Fighting
spirit in many instances is the max
ing of athletic combinations, and
without II teamwork Is q difficult
proposition. Griff has made SO many
changes this season, and they have
been necessary, too, despite much
comment to the contrary, that the
players have been unable TO develop
teamwork to a strong degree. The
Old Fox probably has hit upon the
right combination at last, and with
four victories in a row the team
should attract more attention from
Washington fans.
