Washington fans have been puzzled over that question ever since Out fielder Zeb Milan was made manager of the 1922 aggregation.
 When Peckinpaugh was secured from New York, it was understood that Griffith regarded him as nam agerial timber. When Manager George Mcbride was forced to retire from tho game Pecklhpaugh was the unanimous selection Of the sport writers as his successor.
 President Griffith crossed them mp by appointing Clyde Milan, who failed 10 deliver.
 The selection Of Milan over Peck inrangh was big disappointment to the crack shortstop. 1t showed m l,ii play that season, Peckin Aaugh having one of the poorest years of his career.
 IL so happened that Owen Bash ana Peckinpaugh are great tricnGs. When Griffith again surprised fan- dom by selecting Rush, Peckinpaugh was pleased. He reported in great shape, played his head off and was perhaps the most valuable shorts.op in tho American league last year.
 Fandom is wondering if the se- lection Of the youthful Harris over Puckingpaugh will be as disappoint- ing 10 him as was the naming Of Milan,

 Iiurris, even though He is q star scct nd sackcr, ranking next to the great Eddie Collins, is rot popular with the local fans.
 Harris has been unfortunata in that he has played his poorest ball at home When he made un c"i or it invariably turned into n run. No player on the Washington club was criticized more than Harris last sea- son.
 Unless Harris makes good from the jump he is in for a strenuous season. Incidentally tho burden of managing the club may seriously af- feet his playing.

|MATTY IS PRAISED
 FOR BONUS STAND
Its Elimination Likely to Benefit
 the Game
tBy Billy E,yans)


 Praise be to Christy Mathewson for the movement that he has started to eliminate the giving of a bonus for 1 good work in addition to the usual 1 contract The bonus is always based on the batting of say. 300 or better; i if the pitcher, the winner of so many l games. It is a practice that has been in vogue in the majors for years and 1 I suppose gets an equal play in the | minors. 1 I have seen so many cases where 1 the giving of a bonus worked to the disadvantage of the player and team involved that am positive it is bad l scheme.
 Well do I recall the case of a pitcher a few years back who was to receive a bonus of 5000 in addition l to his salary if he won 20 games. With about three weeks to go the pitcher needed only two more wins to 1 cinch the money. His next two starts resulted in defeats, despite the fact 1 that he pitched great ball. The margin | in each case was one run and the winning tally was the result of mis- 1 play on the part Of some player. It is an easy matter to figure the feelings of the pitcher who would have had the extra s2000 sewed up had he | been given perfect support in the field.
 It so happened that the pitcher had bad disposition. The misplays peeved him, and instead of pitching and letting the rest of the players do their work he began to rave at his infeld. This stirred up considerable ill-feeling and didn't tend to help the morale of the club that happened to be fighting for a berth in the first di- vision. Briefly. the pitcher failed to win a single start during the last three weeks, due in d measure to the strain he was working under, likewise the strain the entire team was playing under. He didn't get the bonus. No doubt he was peeyed all winter and probably reported in the spring with don't-care spirit,
 Perhaps nothing affects the general play of n star batsman more than d slump at the plate. When said player secs a bonus slipping away in addition to his batting average, it makes the situation all the worse.
 
 X certain player who always batied around the 300 mark had salary difference with his club. It was d matter of sl,000. The club owner, in an effort to satisfy the player, said he would give him the disputed sl.0O0'if tho player reached the 300 mark in batting. The player agreed to the gamble. When tho last week Of the season arrived the player doped ont just how many hits he had 10 make in so many times at bat to get under the wire. Never in all my life have seen a more disturbed batsman at the plate. Every time at bat was an or deal for him and everyone else. When he failed to hir safely on his last trip 10 the plate he was downcast. Figuring he had lost by one point.
 However, the unofficial averages had been slightly in error as to the times at bat. The official averages gave the player q mark of .30i in- stead of .299, as hc had figured. He got the bonus, also earned it.
 
 Last season q certain pitcher was promised a bonus Of si ,O00 if he won Is games. For two months that pitch- CT had the toughest breaks possible.
