delphia dugout while trying to get a
foul from Liskas bat In the morning
game Of Memorial day, ID out for
spell, although he will accompany the
AS to washington tomorrow. Dykes
and Simmons, both ailing, are not likely
ing to Manager Mack. Dykes has some
stomach trouble that forced him to re-
tire from the pastiming yesterday ana
Simmons has q badly swollen knee.
The swelling was punctured today ana
much fluid withdrawn, but the joint
still pains AL greatly.
With three players under the weather
Mack is forced to rearrange his lineup.
Boley, although his arm Is bothering
him, will be continued at shortstop and
McNair, the brilliant rookie who nlled
in so acceptably for Boley yesterday
and broke up the morning game with
his long single In the thirteenth inning,
will be employed at third base. As to
left field. should Simmons remain out,
Mack has not decided. He has Cramer
and Harris, both left-hand swingers,
who are experienced outfielders.
Cramer probably Is the better hitter,
Harris very likely can outf1eld Cramer.
Mack may decide TO swing 70 the de-
Cramer. With Simmons out he VIII
have to take chances.
To add to Comics troubles, Bishop
was hit on the neck by q batted ball
during the AS fielding drill today and
had to retire. That compelled Connie
TO use williams at second and he may
remain there for some time.
VXTAsHINGToN's players are step
w ping around the bases these days.
Old man Rice is leading the League as
a swiper of sacks, and young Joe Gro
min Is showing up the catchers. For
several seasons past, the Nationals DID
not bother much about this method OF
advancing Now they are finding 1t
especially helpful. Not only does 1t put
them along but it also tends to upset
the opposition. It upsets the foe much
more than the old hit and run method
of attack. Now II the washington
club would take q little more to the
bunt than 1t has 1t would have every
thing in offensive with which to dis
concert its rivals.
MOT only Is George Leopp proving .
IN fine outfielder with much range in
the pasture, but he also Is shining as
a lead-oh man In the batting order.
George Is a good waiter and when the
ball comes over we'll he usually hits 1t
clearly. He Is not long hitter, but
he manages to get his drives past the
infield frequently. George gets on the
runway about as often as the other
lead-of men In the league.
