II htDitton series thuS lar. the Na
tionalS are sorely in need c
more rieht-hand hitting strength, Man
Agcr Stanley Harris believes. And I'M
means that Foster: Camel and JAG
KlorA, the most likelf-looking OF tn
stArhoard Swingers who have had littl
20 do In the Spring contests with til
National League outfits TO date are t
get plenty Of opportunity from now o'
70 show their batting wares.
The pilot Is plainly concerned aoou
the lack OF power in the Nationals or
fens;ve, and before ne is through witt
efforts TO improve Il quite likely I'll
available material will be brought int
use. The Nationals have been getting
h!ts--they outoatted the Reds here yes
terdav. ten safeties 70 seven. yet TOOK
e.to-S licking--but not when hits meai
runs. A better balance in the oattini
order plainly is needed and Bucky ma
an idea another rtght-hand hitter O
tao might turn the trick.
Thorough Test for Camel.
While much attention will be sivei
Klosa. who came up from the South
eastern circuit With sn impressive bat
ting rating OF .3si. more will be pait
Camel. who Is rcckoned nearer Dlt
league caliber At present than the nlino
loop sluecer. II was Thought CAME
vas trifc too slow to make rcgulai
outfeld berth with the cluo' out M
hitting during his hriet term Win tls
Nationals last Fall. when In oo2er
rar1rs he socked the ball soundly enough
ia hAconae the nominal leader OF tnt
American League for the season, de-
r1an6e6 more careful consideration O
his possibilities.
Camel has been sent into two OF the
three games played this week up eC
today and although he has not set tne
world ahre with his failing ne has
made II known that he probably couio
field well enough to warrant Q thorough
big league trial. Babe may not be SC
speedy on the ifoof. but he has the
knack Of placing himself well IN the
pasture and possesses almost uncann!
Judgment of high ones Harris plans
10 give Camel plenty to do from now
on and the rookie has really grea'
chance to win regular ioo IN the
garden.
Kloaa In fielding practice. has dem.
onstrated ne can go and get EN- IN
rretty good fashion. but the manager
fears the Milwaukee product is too
lacking in experience 10 employ TO any
rreat extent defensively. However. any
r1sht.hander who slusged as savagely
a. did Jack in the Southeastern circuit
las, season must have something III
batting way. thinks Bucky. and these
exhibition games are supposed TO oe
Ju,t tne tests needed to prove Ms
worth.
AS the club has been starting in the
Spring frays four OF the players other
than the battefyI1ien are soutnpaW
guinsers. OF this quartet only Goose
Coslin, and George Sisler may be ac-
counted really formidable at bat.
Neither Sam Rice nor Red Barnes is
