which he proudly stated that his wife
was not permitted to do any Of the
heavy work about his home, such as
carrying in wood, water, coal, etc. We

The team can play ball. very creditably

est managers, but there are no Cobbs,
Speakers, ct al, connected with the
club. Walter Johnson is the sole
blooming star right now, unless one
wishes to consider Clyde Milan as still
member of the elect club.
The reserve list for the Washington
club shows most Of its promising MAJ
terial gobbled up in the demand for
men in the army and navy. Mike
Menoskey, as promising a recruit as
ever showed in the big leagues, is
among those who entered service.
Joe Leonard, fard-hitting and clever
fielding, third baseman, has gone to
the colors, and several others not SO
highly regarded have Joined.
The Senator'S pitching stan has
been about all the club could boast for
several years, and Grff1th probably Is
busy thanking fate that his best men
for hurting duty have not Jumped to

Harry Harper, Grain, Craft. and other
stars still are held on the Senators

Strength with the Washington club
depends almost wholly on the pitch

but there Is small hope.
The inf1eld is only passing fair, and
the outfield is only fair as an American
league aggregation. Clyde Milan is
the star OF the outer trio and Milan
lis growing into the veteran class with
such speed that 1t Is doubtful II he
ever will again have one Of his old

promise Of developing something, but
the Washington club needs complete
renovation before 1t can again figure
