without having seen the team in
action, one is led to base all its hopes
upon Sam Rice. II Sam is with the
boys, they should show sufficient
spirit to get away to a good start.
II he isn't, 1t is unlikely that the
opening Of the campaign will be quite
go auspicious.
Rice is the one and only real hitter
IN the entire lineup. This allows
for zeb Milan's consistently good work
and for whatever benefit Bert Shot
ton will show from his change of
scenery. Rice is the only 300 bats
man in the Washington clubs roster.
Pitchers Are Strong.
As usual. the Washington pitchers
are strong. johnson, Harper, Ayers,
and Shaw form a quartet worthy Of
the best, while Yingling and Du Mont
have had sufficient experience TO
make them valuable as assistants.
The others are experiments.
Behind the bat Ainsmith remains
the only first class performer Grif-
nth did not use Charity much last
year because he thought the big fel-
low had a weak arm. But Ainsmith is
made of iron, and may well be able
TO catch more than 100 games this
season.
The infield seems compact and East
in the field, but not particularly pow
full at bat Judge is its best sticker,
and his work is problematical because
of that bUnged up ankle. Morgan.

but neither Lavan nor Foster will
burn up the league.
OutheId Is Fast.
The outheld Is fast in the field, even
with Rice out, and Shanks in. Shot |
ton and Milan are excellent fly
chasers and fair hitters. Rice is most |
valuable because OF his prowess with |
the willow. He provides a most valu- |
able punch to the teams attack. |
Sha nks cannot do this.
II a chain is only as strong as its
weakest link. then the reserve power |
OF the Griffs is a bad sign for the |
future. The Old Fox is practically |
