NEED MORE PUNCH
TO MAKE HEADWAY
Stick Average in West But
.281-Cronin Factor in
Attack on Trip.
BY JOHN b. KELLER.

Tn their first invasion of the
West this season the Nation
ais did not lose any ground in
the pennant race, so far as
their relative standing with the
league leader was concerned, but
they passed up a splendid oppor-
tunity to forge ahead, and now
cannot we'll afford to falter before
the Western clubs here, as they
did during their recent tour.
While the Mats pitching was
somewhat Spotty in the West, 1t
was their weakness at bat that
hurt most. There must be a boil
steering of attack if Roadway is to
be made during the 19-game
stand in Griffith Stadium.
Out West the Mats made the poorest
showing of any of the Eastern clubs,
and, in fact, only one other club OF
the circuit, Chicago. made a poorer
showing. The Mats won five games and
last seven. while the White Sox, at
home, won only four games and lost
eight. Not such a great difference at
that. AS they hit the Mats really did
not deserve to do any better on the
journey. They batted as club Tor
WHY s<o4s
OF the dozen games played FIVE were
decided by one run. OF these five games
the Mats captured only one. Not much
of q punch there. Although some OF
the Mats hit for good averages out
West, their hitting was too streaky to
be Of much benefit. A general pickup
In meeting the ball is needed right down
the line of the batting order. II 1t oc-
ours, the Washington club ought TO
give the Western invaders great tussle
the next two weeks.
Generally, the Mats pitchers will not
yield many runs. It's up to the batters
to get busy.
4 THOUGH five batters finished the
"A trip with higher averages, Sam
Rice really was the attack leader
In the swing through the West. He
went through the dozen games and wal
loped for .367. Hetnie Manush and Al
Crowder. procured from the Browns,
shook wicked bats, Heinie hitting Tor
1853 and Crowder for 500, but Helnie
was in only four games and Al IN one:
Dave Harris, picked up from the
White Sox for service as right-hand
pinch hitter, made good in great style.
Three times Dave was sent up in emer-
gencies in the st. Louis series, and he
collected two hits, one good for two
bases, and a pass. He scored two runs
and drove over another.
The most potent factor in the Mats
attack on the trip was Joe Cronin.
The husky shortstop hit for only 1853,
but he drove over II runs, far more
than any other player, and with 10
runs tied with Rice for the tallying lead.
Here are the trip figures:

BY DENMAN THOMPSON

w YHAT Manush and Cos
M lin do on the field OF
Wv battle, now that they
have snapped uni
forms, is of keen interest to fol-
lowers of the Nationals. What
they have done is equally in
triguing, for how can their
relative worth be estimated
save by a comparison?
It was ManuSh's reputation
as a hitter that Influenced
Capital fans generally to ap-
prove the trade that brought
him along with Crowder to
the Griffmen in exchange for
GoSlin. Proof of his superb
GRITTY as an attacking force
oStensibly was found in their
lifetime averages, which showed
Heinie possessed of 1888 against
the 1871 credited to the Goose.
When the swap was conSum-
mated this department got in
touch with a veteran base ball
writer in st. Louis to learn the
reaction of the fans there, and
his reply contained a Signif1-
cant sentence. 1t was:
"St. LouiSanS believe that
Manush's high batting average
rather bellies his value to a
team because of the fact that
his runs-batted-in record is
not a good one"
Acid Test for Hitters.
In base ball it is we'll estab-
liShed that the truest test of
a batsman is his ability in the
all-important business of pro-
ducing runs for his team, so we
did a little research work to
learn what's what.
II it is true that figures don't
lie." it would seem that the
acquisition of a competent
pitcher such as Crowder, in adj
dition to ManuSh, was highly
essential if the Washington
club is to be regarded as profit
ing in the transaction that
sent GoSlin away.
Here are the records, based
on the seven complete seasons
they have been big leaguerS
concurrently, Manush with the
Detroit Tigers from 1928
through 1927 and with the
