be dreaded most Of the mean

wormed its way to the bottom
Of the stack at time when the
baseball gods happen to be deal
ing from the top.
Nothing illustrates better the
breaks Of baseball than the posi-
ton in which Washington fans
find their favorites today.
Rated in the winter books as
having a pitching staff that
should carry it far, and rightly
rated at that, this particular de-
partment of the team got away
to a poor start and the begin
ming of a total collapse was at
hand. There have been other
contributing causes for the vain
struggle the team. has Teen

the season, but the weakness in
the box. has been a drawback
undisputed.
At the moment, when the
team statisticaliy looks its worst
in four years. it SO happens, it
is playing heads-up baseball.
There are times when a losing
team can look, practically as
good as the team that beats it,
and this is particularly so in the
present Philadelphia series.
Philadelphia papers today state
that Washington has been much
more than a warm-up for the
Athletics. Any time team,
particularly a crippled, reserve
less team such as the Griffmen
are now, carries its antagonists
into extra innings two days in
succession, you can figure matt
nees are not exactly Boy Scout
picnics.
1t is baseball history that
Philadelphia customarily curls
up before Washington attack.
These teams have been the dear
est of enemies, for they have
been looked upon as natural
Eastern rivals to reef the sails
of the Yankees, an assignment
which calls for plenty of CO.
operative throat cutting.
Dragged time and time again
by the Griffs in crucial series,
the Athletics have fought just
a little more desperately to hold
the sleeping potion at a time
administering it meant sliding
their ancient foe into the cellar.
Yes, the Athletic worm has
turned.
However, the irony of this
awkward local situation, lies in
the fact that little fault can be
found with anyone in this cru
cial condition we find ourselves,
because these seven successive

Frantically, almost desper-

when the yeriest Washington

that the spirit is there and that

If the little man doesn't feel like
winking today, he ought to have
the other eyes closed for him.
But James McLarnin, the unsuc-
cessful candidate at Monday s
lightweight election, has a sense OF
humor and so he will wink almost
involuntarily as he considers the
fact that they are busy at this mo-
ment trying to match him into
plenty of money. Our Mr.. Richard
