Peck and GOSIin
Two Stars May Make Pennant
Contender Out of Club
Depend on Johnson.

TAMPA, Fla, March 27.-Owner
Griffith and Manager Milan Of the
Washington club are confident OF
finishing in the first division.
Neither is willing to make any
prediction other than that the Ma
tionals will be in the select four
Washington finished fourth in
the American League last season,
just a half game away from St.
Louis.
While both Griffith and Milan
would like 10 win the pennant, still
to be able TO better their position Of
last season would be considered
step I'm the right direction.
Washington is a much better ball
club this year than last. This state
ment is based entirely on the addi-
ton of Roger Peckinpaugh.
Shortstop is a most vital position.
The infield's strength is in a measure
based on the caliber OF its short
stop. Last season the Washington
club lost at least Is games through
inefficiency at that position.
Peck Tower OF Strength.
In Peckinpaugh. Washington has
secured one Of the best shortstops
in the history Of the game. He does
everything well. Although hot a
hard hitter he is very dangerous IN
a pinch.
1t is in fielding. rather than hit
ting, that Peckinpaugh will add his
greatest punch. He will greatly
strengthen the Nationals defense.
His presence in the infeld will
also improve the play of Stanley
Harris. generally considered as the
ranking successor of Eddie Collins.
Many a double play will be pulled
by the Nationals this year that
otherwise would never have been
completed.
The coming of Peckinpaugh gives
Washington the best inheld in the
American League. In addition his
| presence betters the morale Of the
team
A recruit, by name Goslin also
has a great opportunity TO weld the
Nationals into pennant contender.
With the exception OF Peckin-
paugh and Goslin the Nationals will
present the same lineup as last
year. 1t is up TO these two players
10 make the Nationals better than
fourth place team.
GOslin a Certainty.
IN the fall of last year Goslin had
a brief trial with the Nationals and
looked great in spring practice he
has continued TO play good ball
It is a certainty that he will start
in right field with Milan and Rice
playing the other two outfeld posi-
tons.
None OF the other recruits taken
south by the Nationals threaten to
displace any Of the regulars. How
ever. it looks as II a number Of
worthy substitutes have been picked
up.
The only unplea SAINT feature Of the
training trip to date has been the
condition Of Walter Johnson.
Throughout the training period
he has been under the weather.
First il was a hard cold, then a case
Of "fu" or grippe, plus few other
minor ailments.
These things have retarded Walt
er's condition and he has not vet
struck his stride. He may be a bit
late in getting started.
Since pitching is the Nationals
big if. with Walter Johnson play
ing the leading role. Manager Milan
is naturally a bit worried over the
situation.
