sustained wednesday.
During the brief time he has been
back at second base Hayes has per-
formed we'll enough to show the Ma
tionals have no better man available
for the position so far as fielding is
concerned, and Boss in his start at
the first corner clearly revealed he
is the most promising understudy
to Judge the club has had.
Boss took excellent care of several
not so good throws that came his way
and cracked the ball soundly, too.
In five trips to the plate he >rar1med
three singles, a good batting perform
ance for any one and fine one for a
rookie.
Boss Not So Fleet.
Perhaps the only thing that may
handicap Boss is his lack of speed atoot.
He isn't so fast on the runway. But
Boss has never learned to run. according
to Trainer Martin, and bit OF inten-
sive training in sprinting may increase
his fieetnesS measureably.
While Judge will be back in the line
up soon If Manager Walter johnson
would rather have the veteran than the
rookie in action, Bluege may be on the
side lines even longer than Trainer
Martin has said. Ossie's trick knee
suffered a severe wrench in the flnal
game of the Chicago series and Ossle
isn't one to come back to physical Trim
fast.
II will be recalled that Ossie was ex-
pected to get back into the game quickly
when he wrenched a knee soon after
assuming the regular second-basing JOB
with the Nationals in May. But even
after he was said to be physically NJ
to perform he was kept on the bench.
At the time it was declared Manager
Johnson was not ready. to send Bluege
hack but it has since been intimated
that Bluege, having sustained repeated
knee hurts. has lost confidence in the
Joint to some extent and is inclined
to favor it.
Knee Troubles Biuege.
This would be natural. For the past
seven wears Ossie has had trouble
aplenty with the knee. One season ne
was out of play for several weeks while
the Joint was In a cast. Evidently the
treatment given then did little good:
Now Trainer Martin opines Ossle VIII

bit of cartilage is removed from the
Joint. That's something for the surgeons
to consider.

Jones had pitched good ball up to
