decidedly dangerous, best in the

Peckinpaugh is not fast yet no

Peck isn't 800 hitter. He has
certain weaknesses but American

Glenn Wright OF Pittsburgh is a

matlcal chance of figuring IN the

place.
However, the Tigers are sure Of

HARRIS Strong IN
RESERVE STRENGTH
Senators Better Fortified This
Year Than in Last Series

New York, Oct. 2 PD-Stanley
Harris, manager of the World Cham
pion Washington Senators, learned
in the worlds series year ago that
there is much truth in the ott-heard
that no baseball team is
stronger than its reserves.
Washington las profitcd by the
lesson, for behind the regular lineup
now Is a powerful squad of veterans
and youngsters ready to step in
whenever a regular faIters.
Against the Giants in 1924 Miller
and Taylor showed poorly in the in
field after Roger Pecllinpaugh was
injured and Bluege shifted to the
shortfield. Infeld lapses almost cost
Washington the worlds series.
Against Injuries.
In the coming clashes with Pitts
burgh Harris is well fortified to
grapple with injury. Behind Peck
inpaugh, whose long service has left
him open to trouble with his legs
there stands Everett Scott, who as
a member of the Red Sox and
Yankees set up a record for con-
tinuous major league play. Scott left
the regular Yankee lineup only this
year and still is regarded as cap
able performer.
Joe Harris, Memo Leibold, Bob
Neach and 'feH Jcanes, three Of them
veterans of outfield play, will sup
port the outer defenscs where Lei
bold was alone last season AS a cap
able resrryist. Spencer Adams, for
merry with Pittsburgh. and Buddy
Myer are Youngsters trained for in
field duty if needed.
Two Relief Pitchers.
Harris has gone further. He re-
CARDS the strong-armed Fred Mar

pitching staff, because Of his ability
to finish gamcs successfully. But
Marborry suffered lame arm for n
time this year and the youthful VIM
