I'll wager that II for any reason r.
becomes necessary to send him back
to shortstop his work will prove q
revelation, for he will have recovered
from the symptoms OF stage fright
that were only to be expected of him
before, and he Will have attained the
confidence essential for him to go
about his duties without giving
thought to the fact that thousands
of critical eyes. are appraising his
every move.
"Myer is going to make good as a
big time player. and" the boy boss
added as a parting shot, don't think
this team isn't going to make good
In the race this year just because we
are not on top now. It's long sea
son, you know; there are 135 more
games to be played"
Curley Ogden, who earned his
spurs as a regular starting pitcher
for the champions in turning back the
Red Sox here last Wednesday, was
in the opener of the three-game series
at Boston this afternoon.
A bevy of cOmely members of the
Junior League added a touch OF cheer
and color to the huge throng that saw
the Nationals best the Mackmen at
Clark Griffith Stadium yesterday, with
the bright-hued Spring flowers they
sold the fans at the entrances. The
sizable sum realized will be devoted
to the Child Welfare Society.
Peckinpaugh was applauded at
every turn yesterday and more than
justified the vote of confidence from
the fans on his first starting appear
ance of the season by playing
bang-up game af1eld, as well as top
ping all the hitterS with three blows
good for half a dozen total bases.
Goslin's lofty batting average suf-
fered another shrinking spell when
he went hitless throughout the after
noon for the first time in a goodly
number of days.
McNeely's effort on Simmons
drive in the second was a pippin.
Earl not only had to sprint far back
and to his right. but climb the in
cline Just in front of the bleachers.
He clung to the sphere despite the
| jostling due to the uneven terrain
there. Had Mac failed the ball would
have struck the concrete barrier and
| bounded far enough to give Simmons
at least a triple.

That ended the run-making. but not
the excitement. for there was action
aplenty crowded into the home half
of the eighth, before the Griffs knew
that additional tallies would be un-

Walberg, the third of the Mackian
moundsmen, with a clean shot to left.
Oss died stealing while Peck was wait

continued on to third when Galloway

Morning practice has its draw
backs" Harris asserted yesterday
evening before entraining with his
crew for the Hub. Working out
before lunch time tends to take the
edge off player for the afternoon.
He naturally leaves some Of his
strength and pep on the field and
this may show when he Is called on
for service later in the day. For this
reason it isn't a. good thing for all
of the boys, for those who are de-
livering the goods don't need any
toning up and are better off with
their stamina unimpaired by extra
toll.
Players Must Be Shown.
But the forenoon workouts afford
the only means available for strength
ening any weak spot that may be-
come apparent, as they enable the
players to realize just wherein they
are lacking and practice to correct
their faults from visual example.
Ball players cannot be merely told
what to do and how to do 1t. To

Speaking of Myer. I'd like to make
it plain that it should not be inferred
that he has proved d failure at short
stop because he has been lifted. He's
a young fellow just beginning his
first big league season and too much
should not be expected of him. He
naturally was a. bit nervous at the
outset and didn't get away to a fly

work suffered. He needs coaching in
the finer points of inf1eld play. and

Closing Of Oriental st. through al

tract would be legal, according to an
opinion City Attorney John X Ruck-

day.
Under the present track elevation
contract with the Pennsylvania and

remain open when tracks are raised
Ford Motor Company officials have
claimed they will be forced to move
their plant from Oriental and e.

street remains open. Changes in as
sembly machinery necessary would
raise operating costs to an unproft-
able sum, they pointed out.
Their position is supported by the
Chamber Of Commerce and promi-
nent citizens. However, the South
eastern Civic Improvement Associa-
ton is opposing closing the
thoroughfare.
The ShaAk administration board
refused to heed the appeal of the
business men, who asked them to
close the street. Then the Ford Of
f1cials took up the matter with the
present board.
