Yanks Again Today;

The Yankees will be the attraction
again this afternoon at American
League Park. when they make their
against the Nationals. starting at $3.50
o'clock. George Erickson is on the

Claude Davidson is lost to the

time The former Athletic infielder,
who was obtained on trial from the
League, in a letter addressed to Man
ager Griffith yesterday said he was
leaving for his home in Boston in
order to consult with his physician
regarding his physical condition. and
did not know when he would be able
to return. Davidson has been trou-
bled with boils on his legs. Recently
the af9iiction became SO bad the play

The conditions under which David
son came to Washington provided for
trial until the end of this season,
was to be turned over to New Haven.
Unless Davidson comes back and gives
evidence of more ability than he has
shown in the three games he has par
ticipated in with the Nationals, or I'M
less the time limit for looking him
over Is extended to cover the spring
training trip, no effort will be made
to keep a string on him. Davidson
is a good fielder and thrower, but is
very slow on the bases and appears
to be punch hitter of the weak
sister type, despite his three hits in
eleven times at bat for the Nationals
for an average of 1854.
John Lindsey, the Akron short
stopper here for trial with the Griffs
is billed to hold down the job for the
Minneapolis club for the flag end of
the American Association season.
Morley Jennings, who now is filling
the bill, is going to step out next
week and Griffith has answered Joe
Cantilson's appeal for help by noti-
flying Lindsey to report there. This
chunky chap fields the position like
veteran. but his ability at bat is
doubtful. Washington retains
