That the team has been playing
low.grade baseball, takes little time
to determine from available statis-
tics. Ii has lost over IS games by
q margin of one run and has not
won more than five games by that
same margin.
Everyone who Is an observer Of
the national pastime knows that
even with the expenditure of large
sums of money it takes years to put
together a winning combination.
The real fan soon tires of perfect
team. What the real fan wants to
see on the diamond is not neces-
sarily a winning team but a hus.
tling. scrappy, colorful team-a
team such as the Griffs have been
since they last took the road-al-
ways ready to exploit favorable
breaks, and when defeated goes
down fighting.
"As to what Is wrong with the
team, it appears, although much
beclOuded, that the real issues
are but two, namely: Was The
team playing as well rs &c can
play: and IL not, is Walter John.
son Or Clark Griffith or both to
blame?
II believe the team was playing
a hundred or more percentage points
below its real capacity. But l do
not believe either the team or Wal.
ter Johnson is to blame. Inasmuch
as Mr.. Griffith permits his manag.
ers to direct the team, we can alb
solve him, too. Both Walter John
son and the team are victims OF q
vicious preseason training system.
While a. woman is no better than
she looks, baseball player is as
good as he Subconsciously thinks he
is. Again quoting the copy book,
there is no excellence without great
labor" The Griffmen do not excel.
1t then may be argued that they do
not indulge in very great amount
of labor during the training season.
To my certain knowledge no
Washington team during the last
ten years has come Mp to the
open i'm game sufficiently
trained. In making this state
ment / am not overlooking the
pennant-Winning years.
An unframed baseball team like
an unframed man, when hit hard
q few times, soon looses fighting
heart. When other teams are going
through two strenuous training ses-
sions each day, the Washington team
INDUCES in only one, and not much
OF that is devoted to the two essen.
tials. pitching and hitting.
When pitchers on other teams
are pitching nine innings in training
games the Washington pitchers have
been tossing EN- for three. Is II
any wonder that the Washington
batters couldn't bat and the pitchers
couldn't pitch. If they could hit
and pitch with the sort of spring
training they have they would be the
most wonderful athletes in the
world.
AT best none of them are world.
beaters. However, for one will
continue to shout that with proper
preseason training the team could
and would play smart, scrappy and
colorful baseball. No real fan will
ask for more.
