BY JOE HOLMAN
'T'H be ready to shoot against
the Yankees in New York next

''I'u be ready to shoot against
the Yankees In New York next
week."
This was Pitcher Fred Mar
berry's optimistic report to Pres1.
dent Clark Griffith. Of the Wash
ington club, today. Marberry
fractured a bone in his right
wrist while opposing these same
Yankees in the second game Of
a double-header August 8. Sliding
into third base while In posses
sion of a comfortable lead, Fred's
wrist doubled under him.
On sheer nerve alone he traV-
eled two more frames before
seeking relief. At the time Mar
berry had won nine games in a
row and had checked off his
fourteenth victory Of the year.
Not until recently did Fred
have the second cast removed
from his singing hand. Since
he has been working his arm
into condition. OF late the big
Texans progress has been so fav-
orable that he is urhesitatingly
predicting an early return to
action.
While delighted with his aces
progress. Manager Walter johnson
is a bit more conservative.
s'It looks like Marberry viii
be ready to fill q couple Of re-
lief spots shortly" he con-
fessed this morning, "but it's
INV guess that he will not be
ready to take his regular turn
for a week or 10 days yet. He
cant come back too soon for
me, though. And If he's IN
trim to go up against the
Yankees next week, so much
the better"
Marberry's return would mean
much to the washington CLUBS
second-place aspirations. Though
still in the pennant running
mathematically, the Griffs Will
satisfy by coping the runner-up
position.
a three-game series with New
York here today, will visit the big
town for a four-day stand next
week, starting Wednesday. Mar
berry, if he is prepared for an as
signment, will probably receive the
Friday or Saturday nomination.
The same dead game Walter
johnson, who pitched on a rainy
day with his leg strapped UP in
the deciding game of the 1925
Washington-P Pittsburgh World Sc
ries, expects to re-enter the tlrst
base coacher's box soon.
Since the death of his beloved
wife recently Sir Walter has re-
mained in the background. Feel
ing that his club needs him at this
stage of the race, however, john
son today declared he will be back
on the job any day now.
"My boys are fighting their
heads off, and want to get in
there and help them all 1 can.
The fellows still feel they have
chance for the pennant. And
certainly intend doing my share
toward boosting their chances"
Should Marberry return to the
lineup next week, Manager John.
son will have crack pitching
staff made up of Crowder, Jones,
Brown, Marberry and Hadley.
With five slabsters available
Sam Jones and Alvin Crowder
once more can enjoy an extra
rest period between games. Dur
ing, big Fred's absence they have
rotated with Hadley and Brown,
Only three and a half games
removed from the third place
New York Yankees, Walter John
sons team will inaugurate it's
abbreviated series with the
Shawkeys here today.
General Alvin Crowder is to
sling for Washington and will
likely draw shuffling Ed Wells,
q southpaw. as his opponent.
If past pt rformances mean any
thing-and they usually don't
the Griffmen figure to score
handily. Twelve times in Is sa'
gagements with the Gothamites
this. season the residents have
registered. The two clubs viii
rest tomorrow but are to con.
clude hostilities Saturday anc
Sunday.
