WASHINGTONCLUB
 MAKING HISTORY
Regardless OI Where They Finish,
 They're "The DObbs"

The sensational snuFt ofthe Wash ggion Nationals has been the hig ihnll of the American league during Inc past siE weeks,
 ! From second division berth the team came 10 the front with rush, With the season half over II has snF- pFisei the baseball world by taking ] the lead in the American league race This was accomplished by taking ! four straight games from ihs New i York iaakees, rare happening with the three'lime pennanl winners
 
 ] First in war, first In peace and last in the American league has for years been q wise crack in vaudeville, Win tho Washington club lingering around The iop, that once humorous quin has lost its punch, Where will the Nationals finish?
 i,i the spuTt that brought the team from the second division 10 the top q mere flash in the pan?
 Can the club keep it up and bring te Washington it's first American league pennnnt'
 
 BaS ball fans the country over, Washington in particular. are dehat- ing these questions. wondering what the future holds forth for Manager Stanley Harris and his pennant con- tenders.
 Ten years ago the Boston Braves startled the baseball world by not only winning tho National league pen. nant, but slao in capturing the world series in four straight games from the supposedly invincible Athletics
 In the sport world the so-called miracles happen about every 10 yea1. Possibly the Washington club of 1924 will surprise the baseball world as did the Braves Of 1914.
 None of the experts dope1 the Braves to win 10 years back. In the | spring predictions for the 1924 race | in the American league none of the | wise men of baseball gave the Ma tionals much consideration as a pen nant possibility.
 Regardless of where the Washing 1 ton club finishes this year, the great |, showing of the team has added much | color to the American league race and | stimulated interest in baseball.
 The high position of the Washing ton club with the race half over is deserved. The team has played heads up, snappy baseball, and taken adNan- tage Of good pitching.
 Manager Harris has handled his | club well. imbled it with a fighting spirit and has created the desire to win. The club is giving the boy manager it's best at all times. Not a shirker on the team.
 The Washington club is one happy family, pleased with the sue cess that has come its way, but not at all chesty about it.
 Washington's chance to pull a mir acle stunt is largely up to the pitch CTS.
 Walter Johnson is the only out standing star of the staff, yet it is well balanced, capable of serving the opposition a variety of pitching.
 Washington must be watched. Pen nant aspirants need not treat the present spurt of the team lightly.

 Well, Washington is on top in the American league for the first time in ages and the managerial genius of the young second baseman is largely responsible for it. No wonder his face is wreathed in smiles these days
