Aside from their hitting, the
Tigers have little with which to
fight. They have little skill afield,
aren't particularly strong at pitch
ing, and are quite slow on the
hoof. It isn't surprising that they
are no higher in the league stand
ing.
Harris henchmen are to play four
games in Griffith Stadium, starting the
set tomorrow with a double header,
while single engagements are listed Tor
Sunday and Monday. Following the
set. the Nationals will leave for a three
weeks tour which will carry them to
the field of all rivals except that OF the
Athletics.
Few HurIers in Trim.

and probably Irving Hadley, even though
Hadley's middle finger of his pitching
hand still is sore. With so many OF his

Hadley's finger soreness is due TO noth-
ing more than blister. which burst

when he was toiling on the slab, and
though still tender it is not believed the
wounded digit will keep him out OF

to the Nationals for some days, While
Fred Marberry and Sam Jones are not
likely to DO any slabbing for quite
tine.
Liska has been retired until his ton
sils are yanked, and Marberry may have
to undergo a similar operation. Fred
has not report 1 at the park for sew

was running n temperature again and
suffering from a very sore throat. Jonn-
son declares there is no chance that
Marberry will 60 to the slab during the
remainder of the clubs home stand.
Jones Still Tagging.
Jones arm has become sore again,
and the veteran can do little on the hill.
He NAV endeavor to take hurting turn,
but it is doubtful if Sam could give
good account of himself. AS a matter
of fact, Jones has pitched but two or
three good games since he hurt
muscle in his side during a contest III
New York in the latter part OF May.
Jones certainly had nothing in
pitching way to brag OF yesterday, when
he opened fire against the Browns. Dur
TO do little more than lob the ball to
the visitors. As a result they combed
him for five safetes and three passes
which accounted for five runs.
Despite this handicap and another

a brace of walks in the sixth TO get
four more markers, the Nationals man
