Because Judge had fallen into a

Myer and Rice are apt to be benched.
For some time Myer has been weak at
bat and sluggish afield while Rice, al
though hitting we'll enough to keep his
average at bat nigh, has helped his
club little extensively since 1t took the
road and has been unsteady as garden
patrol.
Manager johnson hesitates in retir-
ing Myer and Rice just as he did IN
Judges case. For some time. the pilot

the infection that crippled his left leg
is slow and Manager Johnson does not
care to rush his prize hitter into Serv-
ice again. Nor does he care TO retire
Rice and depend upon an outteld COM
posed of Dave Harris, Sam West and
George Loepp. That would force the
use of West against left-hand as well
as right-hand pitchers, something that
probably would help neither the club
nor West.
When Heinie returns, however, Rice
will step out and Harris go to right
field. unless Sam shows marked IN
provement in fielding form in the mean
while.
Judges retirement is to be considered
as temporary only, according to Man
aper johnson, and the retirementS OF
Myer and Rice, when they occur. would
be so considered. Each of these three
PLAYERS is in need of q thorough rest,
for each played at top speed for weeks.
While going well they contributed heav-
3ly to the success of the Nationals, but
johnson holds he should not put In
Jeopardy his clubs chance at the pen
narlt by keeping in the lineup fading
players.
NATIONALS and Indians are to con-
~ clude their series of six games to-
morrow with a double header,
and Carl Fischer, left-hander bought
only this week from Newark of the IN
ternational League, may show his wares
for the first time in big league In one
of the week end engagements.
Not only has Fischer one OF the hnest
fast ones to be seen in the game today,
according to his manager, but he seems
to possess a much better curve than
MANY who had seen him work the last
season or two thought he possessed.
"I looked Fischer over carefully IN
practice yesterday" said Johnson, "and
he certainly surprised me with his curve
ball When I had the Newark club IN
1923 Carl had great fast ball, but his
curve was nothing more than wrinkle.
It's different now, though, and I be-
lieve ne could go well against the m
dams.

worked since it left home, may take
chance with him in one OF the games
tomorrow. That fast one of his ought
to trouble the Indians, and I think he
NAV have a good enough change of pace
to carry him along. Perhaps he will
not need any curve. He seems to be
worth a trial right now and if he makes
the grade it would help our pitching
staff wonderfully for the remainder OF
the trip"
