in the minors. bar none. Bert Eli.
son, first base: Pete Kilduff. second
base: Eddie Muihgsn. third base; Hal
Rhyme, shortstop. That's the lineup
OF the champions inner defense.
And what a combination that Is!
They are aggressive, can field rum
think and hit and they're the power
OF the Seals.
The infisld has saved the Seals a
lot Of trouble this year and has kept
the team In, the race.
And don't forget that Seattle has
a pretty classy quartet OF It's own.
In Bowman. Brady. Ted Baldwin ana
Crane the Indians are presenting q

Senator's Chances of
WinningU to- Pitchers
BY BILLY EVANS

TINE sensational squirt OF the
i Washington Senators has been
the big thrill OF the American league
during the past six weeks.
From second division berth the
team came TO the front with a rush.
With the season half over It has
surprised the baseball world by
taking the lead in the American
league race.
This was accomplished by taking
four straight games from the New
York Yankees, rare happening
with the three.time pennant winners.
L,1RST in war. first in peace and
l. last in the American league, has
for years been a wise crack in vaudo.
Vile.
With the Washington club linger.
Ing around the top, that once hu.
morous quip has lost Its punch.
Where will the Senators finish?
Ia the squirt that brought the
team from the second division to the
top mere flash In the pan?
Can the club keep IL up and bring
TO Washington its first American
league pennant?
Baseball fans the country over,
Washington In particular. are do.
batting these questions, wonder
ing what the future holds forth
for Manager Stanley Harris and
his pennant contcnders.
NNEN years ago the Boston Braves
4 startled the baseball world by no,
only winning the National league
pennant, but also In capturing the
world series in four straight games
from the supposedly invincible Ath.
letics.
In the sport world the so.called
miracles happen about every 10
years. Possibly tho Washington
club OF 1924 will surprise the base.
bali world as did the Braves OF 1914.
None OF the experts doped the
Braves to win 10 years back. In the
spring predictions for the 1924 race
In tho American league none OF the
wise men OF baseball gave the Ma.
tionals much consideration as q pen
nant possibility,
Regardless Of where tho Wash.
ington club finishes this year.

has added much color 10 the
American league race and stimu.

lated interest in baseball.

TNHE high position OF the Wash.
l. ington club with the race half
over Is deserved. The team has
played heads.up. snappy baseball.
and taken advantage OF good pitch.
ing.
Manager Harris has handled his
club we'll. imbued II with a fighting
spirit and has created the desire to
win. The club is giving the boy
manager its best at all times. Not
a shirker on the team.
The Washington club is one happy
family, pleased with the success that
has come its way. but not at all
chcsty about II.
Washington's chance 10 pull n
miracle stunt Is largely up TO the
pitchers.
Walter Johnson Is the only
outstanding star Of the staff, yet
Il is well balanced. capable Of
serving tho opposition n variety
Of pitching.
Washington must be watched.
Pennant aspIrants need not treat
the present spurt Of the team
lightly.

yean Gregg never has much to say

regarding baseball and when he does
pop off it's worth listening 10.
Brady and Red Baldwin are the
boys who have made our club" says
Gregg, they can break up double
steals and they have frightened the
whole defense. Our pitching isn't as
good as It was last year. but those
two fellows have put US in the race. "
And Gregg will find plenty Of bugs
who will agree with him.
