The Griffs would not be stopped.
Late In August they climbed once
more into first place, over the
Yankees. Facing the stiffest oppo-
sitton In the final three weeks they
have delivered blow for blow, asked
no quarter and held their grip on
first place. They win enter the
world series prepared for anything
and everything. They zee victory
ahead.
Four cardinal points may Be
seen In the work Of the Washing.
ton club: First, Buclxy Harris,
rs manager and second basenan
par excellence, .is q human dynamo.
He has put fight into the same
players who had hard time to
take fourth place last year.
Second. the battery work has
been uniformly smooth. Muddy
Ruel has shown marvellous skill in
handle capable, hard working
pitching staff.
Third. the infield IL practically
alright.
Fourth. the outfield has speed
and punch.
It is difficult to single out In
dtviduals among the Griffmen. The
players have been 90 welded into q
fighting machine that the real
praise Roes to the organization
rather that to this player or that.
Bucky Harris rightly gets the
credit for that.
World series usually are decided
by pitching. Washington has the
great Walter johnson, ct his best
In cool weather: George Mogridge.
q heady, clever curve ball south.
paw: Tecumseh Zachary. 3 south.
paw with good bag Of tricks and
Fred Marberry, the best relief
pitcher In the league. This quartet
win do most Of the work.
In, the infield there is Judge, q
first-sacker OF speed ana experience,
q 800 hitter, fart base runner.
Babe Ruth calls him the leagues
best. Harris has not fallen Off In
his playing because Of managerial
duties--a fast and smart fielder,
dangerous hitter In pinches. and ex.
cellent base runner.
Roger Peckinpnugh, veteran short.
stop, has never been better. He Is
the steadying influence OF the in.
field. Ossie Bluege, twenty.three-
year-old third basenan, Ii finishing
the campaign as q 800 hitter. It
Is doubtful II Joe Dugan, Of the
Of the Yankees, or willie Kamm, Of
the White sox, surpasses him In the
field.
Speed characterizes the Out9leId.
Sam Rice has been . high class
player for years. He has OuttIOne
himself all season. Goose GOsIIu,
slugging left fielder, IL the teams
big punch. He ID always danger
Gus at bat, h fair fielder and
fair runner.
Earl McNeely, the California.
flash, in center field, may distin.
gtIish himself in the series. He Is
hitting about 800, fielding as well
as Rice and running bases like nm
other Bill LANCE.
Behind the bat, working every
day, is little Mud6S lauel. No
catcher in the majors outcIasses
him for brains. He throws with
any Of them and hits so,indiy.
The club IL called 'the fighting
Griffs." It IL q title honestly
earned and may well be recalled
during the big series
