Zachary has at last come to his
turn to fling a few in actual battle
Brillhcart and lIankins have been
picked as second and third choices if
zachary gives out against the fierce.

that only two hurlers will be used,

Zach should 60 Well.
Zachary's southpaw flings should
prove fairly effective if his work dur
ing the past few days is any criterion.
Zach hurled two innings last Friday
against the Yannigans. which game
incidentally the Iannigans won. and
while he was in the box indicated
that he is on the verge of getting
into shape.
However. if the rest of the Griffmen
give JAZZ. or any OF the other hurlers
for that matter, the brand of support
they handed out Saturday. all the
kings horses. which means Zach S
deliveries, will not be able to pull
through 4 first victory for the hard
working Nationals. That. though, is
the pessimfstic side of things. for yes
terday the boys appeared good and
worked we'll behind HollingSworth
and WarInoth. In fact. it's rather
difficult to think that they could
duplicate Saturdays efforts. 50 all in
all the sun is shining fairly bright
for Zach.
The big idea for this afternoon is
to let Zachary go four or tive innings
and then turn over his job to Brill
heart, that with prayer by DOME
Bush that Brillheart viii have con-
siderably more to offer against the
Braves today than he had Saturday.

that he can duplicate it this after

Walter johnson, who arrived early
yesterday morning. hurried out to
Plant Field for his first practice.
Johnson is looking we'll. He reported
to President Griffith that he has been
climbing mountains, walking and
otherwise putting himself through the
early stages of training. As is his
custom. however. he will take things
rather easy at the Tampa camp for
several days before letting himself
out for anything rigorous. He re-
mained in Tampa today, with Coach
Gibson and a bunch of the players
who did not make the trip to the sun
shine city for today's game with the
Braves.
