times week practicing punting and
drop kicking.
2. To get his two best passers
and his two best pass receivers to
take the same time, or as much time
as possible, developing this feature Of
foot ball.
8. To get his linesmen to take Is
minutes day practicing quick start
ing. That isn't overemphasizing
anything, and the results might be
somewhat astonishing.
In the first two cases there Is nc
chance to develop good kickers and
passers in the brief Fall season. The
same thing goes for pass receivers. II
is fine exercise and interesting work
to any one who likes foot ball.
Main line value lies in the charge
and quick starting through the first IL
or Is feet This Is something else that
can't be developed In few weeks. All
of this would take little time from other
work, and could in no way be called
"overemphasis" After all, If one is to
play foot ball there is no crime In
wishing to play it as we'll as possible.
If 1t is accomplishing game to
take enough time to learn the funda-
mentals, then the game should be
abolished.
It might be argued that sport Is sport
and that 1t is not important to be pro-
f1cient in any game. Not at the ex-
pense Of other more important things
But the above philosophy is usually held
by those who can't be proficient.
There is no question but that at many
places most of the fun is taken out OF
foot ball. This Is partly due to the fact
that coaches often attempt to get four
months of training and instruction with
in two months or less. It can't be
done. But the temptation is there to
make one hour an afternoon count .or
more than 1t can possibly show. Foot
ball players know what they are going
into under the modern regime-big
crowds, big stadia (or stadium, big
headlines. This may be all wrong, but
anyway. there it is. And pride must
make those who care to risk the adven-
ture give some extra time toward get
ting ready for the pageant.

The Four Year Obstacle.

After that" he said. cit Is
almost impossible to keep up the old
spirit. 1t is an old story. Winning an
other pennant is nothing but winning
another pennant. You don't run after
a street car when you have caught 1t
Mixed with that is the idea many on
the team hold, that the pennant can be
won, anyway, without breaking a set OF
backs to get there. There is a general
let-down. 1t has happened to almost
every club in the game. Sometimes it
happens after two winning
years; nearly always after three"
This is one handicap the Yankees
face this season. 1t is one of the
main obstacles in the road. FOrtu-
nately for their side, fellow like
Babe Ruth wouldn't be satisfied with
six pennants in a row IL there was a
seventh in sight. Every ball game to
him is a ball game to be won il
there is any way to win it. This
feeling is sure to 60 to others OF the
club.
But for all that, constant winning
brings about certain weaknesses, whether
it be for an individual or for a team
Add to this the wear and tear upon
certain veterans who have been around
long time. There is no way Of telling
just what year they will suddenly slip
and fall back. The Yankees are again
generally picked to win another pen
nant, but the quoted odds of 8 to 10
against the field are out Of line.

TOO MANY SWATS
NOW ARE WASTED.
Pitchers Efforts in Vain
as Nationals Continue
Streaky Batting.
BY JOHN B. KELLER.

!" DGAR GARLAND BRAXTON
L. southpaw, who last season
proved the best moundsman In
IL the American League in so far
as yielding earned runs was conc
concerned, is to start game tomorrow
for the first time in the 1929 champion
ship campaign. Manager Walter John
son has definitely selected this slender
Singer to face the Yankees in the con-
test that will open a 15-game road run
for the Nationals.
BraXton will be the last starter of
the quartet of pitchers that Johnson,
during the clubs training period, fig
ured would be his regular-turn artists
once the flag race was under way Sam
Jones. Fred Marberry and Irving Had
ley have had their filings and each has
appeared to advantage although each
has suffered reverses. Should BraXton
reveal the effectiveness that made him
so successful last season the Washing
ton club may be accounted we'll fortified
in the pitching department.
However, more than good pitching is
needed to make a winning club these
days. Ito become a victor, club also
must possess run-making punch. And
that's something the Nationals have not
flashed to date. They have hit along
with their foes, but their hitting has
been too widely spread to be worthwhile.
Those who before the season opened
were expected to hit generally, have
batted up to expectation, but unfor-
tunately they have not been able to
help the club with their hitting.
Coslin's Hits Wasted.
Consider Goose Goslin's case. Here's
player who in each Of the past several
I'D OF hot
and in driving runs across the plate.
Again we find the Goose setting the
batting pace with an average og 1889,
yet in the nine engagements the Ma
tionals have been in thus far he has
sent but two runs over the plate with
his slugging. And he had to hit
homer while mate was on the runway
to accomplish that
Goslin has made IA safeties since the
season started and actually has been
on base 10 times. Yet he has tailed
but three times in the nine games.
That's a glazing example of how spotty
Washington's attack has been.
In sharp contrast is Sammy Vests
case. In six games as regular and
two as a pinch-batter, West has been
able to muster but six safeties. His
average now reads just .222. Yet de-
chased over the counting block six
runs. He merely happened to do his
swinging when the lower end of the
batting order unexpectedly got in scor-
ing position.
New Order May Help.
johnson after juggling his lineup
hopes to get some good results from
the Sam Rice-Goose Goslin-Joe Judge
sequence in the batting order. Rice
has been meeting the ball well since he
returned to the game and Judge after
a mediocre start apparently has clear
ed his batting eye This trio ought to
get some markers for the club in the
l5-game trip the Nationals are about to
start. If it doesn't, thereIl be little
winning done by the Washington club
during the tour. No one outside this
lot of swingers seems able to make
himself consistently useful in attack.

only rookie backstop, Tom Angley,
for duty. Manager Joe Mccarthy then
obtained John Schultz from Columbus

George Herman must have hit that

According to none other than Clark
Grimth, president of the Washington

travelled farther than yesterdays drive
Thistle longest hit ever seen here
was a slam that went in the same gen.

landed in large tree outside the park.
But 1t was made before the present
