early part of {-e season prevented the
club from getting under way in good

failure of the youthful Buddy Myer

for the clubs drop.

Probably the failure of two pitchers

campaign hurt the Nationals more
than anything else. Manager Harris

And this pair of hurlers failed
miserably. Bush. who established
fair record while with the Browns
last year, never did anything for the
Nationals Nor did Ferguson ever
perform capably after the flag race
started.
In game after game the Nationals
gave these pitchers good leads. only
to have them more than offset any
advantage by their weak slabbing.
Naturally these pitchers faded oft of
the picture before midseason, but be-
fore leaving they had handicapped
their club so much that it could not
make any great headway later.
A better balanced pitching staff at
the beginning would have made the
Nationals factors in the race all the

STRIFE NOT BLAMED
FOR PIRATES FAILURE

PITTSBURGH, September 80 0P).-
President Barney Dreyfuss of the
Pirates has emphatically denied
that internal strife and dissension
within the ranks of the team as an
outgrowth of the release of Capt.
Carey. Adams and Bigbee had nulli-
fed the champions chances to repeat.
Speaking of reports and rumors to
this effect, Dreyfuss said the Pirates
failed to win again because Of the
weak hitting of Clyde Barnhart, in
jury to Wright near the end of the
campaign and the absence from the
lineup of several star pitchers at
various times.

The Nationals loomed as repeaters
in the first three weeks of the cam
paign. They bowled over their oppo-
nents in great style and in the first
part of May were eight games above
the 500 mark. But the tide turned
against them and during the first
week in June they were struggling to
keep above the midway mark in win
ming percentage.
Set Back i'm June.
June proved a most disastrous
month. or the first Is games played
then, but four were garnered by the
erstwhile champions. That woefully
weak showing was made on the road.
At home the Nationals did little bet
ter during July. True, they managed
TO subdue the Athletics and the
Browns here, but they got nowhere
against other opposition.
Nor was August particularly good
to Bucky Harris and Company. An
Indifferent Western tour was followed
by home stand in which many
games were rained out and those that
were played generally went to the Wis
iting clubs But toward the end of
that month the Nationals suddenly
took a new lease on life. They
stepped out to create a record season
winning streak of 10 games ana went
on to capture 10 of their last 2S en-
Sagements.
The failure of the Nationals to fin
ish better than they did was some
what puzzling even to Bucky Harris.
their manager. He began the season
with a fine lot of material generally
we'll conditioned and inspired by prevl-
Gus successes. But he soon discov-

played only an average brand of base

DOUGLAS WINS
ADMIRATION BY
HIS FRANKNESS

PHOENIX - Lewis w. Douglas,
candidate for the Democratic nom
ination for Representative in Con-
gress from Arizona, spoke before a
record-breaking audience at the
/ Elks Theater in Prescott last Wed
nesday night, according to Arthur
r. Curlee, secretary of the Douglas
For Congress Club, who returned
from a brief northern trip.
Douglas is making tremendous
impression and his meetings have
been attended by large and enthusi-
astic crowds wherever he has
/ spoken" said Mr.. Curlee, "and his
fearless honesty in stating his be-
liefs, whether or not they may be
politically expedient, because he
feels that is the only way a eandi-
date for legislative office can give
the voter a square deal, is winning
him general admiration.
| At the Prescott meeting Mr.
| Douglas stressed the Importance of
immediate action on the Colorado
river and declared that in his opiR-
ion the Colorado is the greatest un-
| developed natural resource in Ari-
zona, the development of which will
mean an enormous increase in tax
able value Of the state both in lanf
wales ad in power He reiterated
his belief that the only logical and
practical way to develop the Colo
RADIO is from the head of the can
yon down, beginning with stor-
| age and flood control dam which
would protect the land along the
| lower reaches of the river, and sub
stantially lower the cost of con-
structing all other projects. Thru
this plan of development. he said,
power plants and switch boards
can all be located in Arizona, in
suring protection of this states
rights forever.
Mr.. Douglas expressed himself as
firmly believieng in the universal
draft of every resource of nation
in time of war, as well as its man
power. Man power should be.
drafted to work at home together
with resources, finally declared Mr..
Douglas. "I believe that this would
tend to decrease war, since it would
relieve the incentive for certain in
terests to favor war because of its.
profits for them" This declaration
was received with great applause
from the audience.
Dangers of the bloc system in
American government as threaten
ing to American institutions wera
cited by Mr.. Douglas, who declared
that it is the outgrowth of the
problems of the farming stateg.
"The bloc system is composed &C
many groups and threatens The
party system which is the basis Cf
American institutions. as well as
giving an opportunity for control
to be seized by the minority.
"The farmers are faced by SER
ous problems because IF their in
ability to satisfactorily control
their crops, and as a result want
price fixing by the government
The problems of the farmer remain
to be solved and should have mr.
sincerest attention, but the bloc
system which has arisen GG 70
suit must be stamped out and the
two party system perpetuated.
Mr. Douglas concluded his ad-
dress by stating that he had ex-
pressed his own personal conVic-
tions about the problems he dis
cussed. regardless Of political ad-
visibility, and urged that his audi
ence vote on their true Judgment If
his ability to fill ably the office Of
Congressman from Arizona
