!. Hard Summer COMING

NNHERE is a long, hard, hot
summer coming. There is
no reason now for one to figure
the Washington pitchers will be
able to stand the strain. This is
PLAIN LANGUAGE.
Instead.sof leaving the mark in
tiptop form, enabling the team to
get lead, the Washington pitch
ers have proved the weak link in
the organization.
It is sensible to pick up Bob
Reeves for future value. But, if
the Griffmen are to win the 1926
pennant, their pitching must i'm
prove while some immediate gain
may be obtained thereby. It
won't do to linger too long in
doing so, either.
Over in Philadelphia the fans
belittle the Yankees chances of
taking the flag. But the Griff-
men, almost to a man, expect
their hardest fight from the Yam
KEGS. And, day by day, the Yam
KEGS prove themselves. entitled to
all respect.
The Yankees hit the ball hard.
This saves many staggering
twirler. The champions are not the
hitters the Yankees are and so
their staggering twirlers go down
to defeat too frequently.
Clark Griffith earnestly desires
a third .pennant, yes, and a fourth
and fifth, if possible. This is
being daily jeopardized, by the
pitching staff.
The time appears near at hand
when the Washington magnate
will do some gambling, paying an
EXORBITANT PRICE for a
capable pitcher. This seems rap
idly becoming a necessity.
Clark Griffith is a game gam
bier, too, when he sees the need
He may be depended upon to do
something before it is Too late.

Griff Takes Look
at Jack Ogden;
Gets Eye Full!

It may mean something, or it
may mean nothing, but Clark
Griffith yesterday took = hop
over to Baltimore to see Jack
Ogden face the Reading Keys
and what he saw was enough to
bring tears to his eyes. Four
hits were CLEANED off Jack in
] 2-3 innings and he passed three
men to first base. Griffith is at
liberty to choose between Ogden
and Bill Henderson at the end Of
the international League season
in the Archdeacon deal, and at
the present writing it doesn't
look like it'll be the brother of
Curly who will get the call.
In difference to Ogden, it must
be said that he has pitched much
good ball for the Orioles this
season. The presence Of q scout
in the stands must have been
too much of q strain for Swarth-
more John.

Today President Griffith is rap
idly approaching the time when he
must reach just such another de-
cision. This time, though, he must
make the gamblers plunge and buy
a capable pitcher for his sagging
staff.
The Washington pitching staff is
not standing up under the strain.
This is well known to all followers
of the game. 1t is needless to
mention this man or that, but
there is no denying the fact that
what the champions need most of
all today is a right-handed pitcher
of sufficient strength to go the
route and of sufficient class to win
big league ball games with the
Griffs behind him.
