the Nationals Under the direction OF
Lena Blackhurne. acting as pilot follow
ins the resignation Of Ray Schalk, the
Chicago club will take the field witr
outfield and infield changed since IL laSt
was encountered by Bucky Harris
bunch and recent performances indicate
that the revised aggregation Is some.
vhst stronger than that which played
against the Nationals at Comiskey Park
last month.
The former outfield Of Bib Falk IN
left. Alex Metzler In center and Bill
Barrett In right was revised not so long
aso. Metzier was shifted to left fielo
and FsIk and Barrett withdrawn from
the line .up. Johnny MoStil took over
the Middle garden and Carl Reynolds
the right. In the infield. George Redfern
was lifted from the second base job and
Bill Hunnefield returned TO that post.
In all likelihood. the Chisox will send
this new lot into action at Clark Grimtn
Stadium.

with the Yankees in which they were
beaten, S to 4. after taking the first con-
test S to 2, the Nationals tomorrow ex-
pect to start their strongest combination
arainst the ChicagoanS. Harris leg
that was too sore to let him get into the
scraps with the world champs Is much
better now, and the manager has an
nounced he will resume his place at sec
ond base. Excepting the weak-armed
Goose Goslin. the remainder OF the
washington regulars are In pretty good
trim. even Bob Reeves having recovered
to great extent from the staleness that
