Manager Russell is anxious to
book either the Washington Red

opener. He can be reached at
Clarendon 2O65.
Naval Hospital, last seasons
champs, surprised its staunchest
rooters yesterday by downing the
undefeated G. P. o., 9 to 8. This
was the first win for the hospital
nine this season in the Govern

Now, Union Printers and
G. P. o. are tied for the lead,
with three wins and one lost each.

attended. even though its results
will have little bearing on the
championship.
Curiosity regarding the power
of the revamped Georgetown out

Western encounters Eastern in

which may greatly affect the
championship standing.
Should the Georgetowners pull
a surprise and upset the Lincoln

The chances of a Western
triumph are not as slim as past
performances would indicate.

that he has struck a combination
which will be capable of downing
Eastern.
The new lineup whipped

dressed his ball players thus as
they today prepared to square
off against Chicago's White Sox
in the inaugural of three-game
series here, weather permitting.
Though the GriffS have cap
tured seven of nine decisions
since venturing westward, the
pace-Setting world champions
have over-shadowed them. Con
ME Mack's high-powered Ele-
plants have yet to lose a verdict
against intersectional opposition
this season.
"COnnie's pitching Is bound
to crack sooner or later" vet
eran Washington players con-
tend. "And if we're within
striking distance Of the Ath-
Ietics then-lOOk OUT"
Walter johnson was hopeful
of presenting his most formidable
front today as washington and
Chicago locked up in battle.

Buddy" Myer. who has been
incapacitated with a sprained
wrist, likely will return to sec
ond base. And joey Kuhel is ex-
pected to show on first.
Had Kuhel chosen to take un-
d,e chances he Gkeiy could have
performed in the st. Louis series.
But, on the advice OF Trainer

curbed his enthusiasm and rested
his lame knee.

present.
Talk About Trade
Much enthusiasm has been
aroused locally over the player
swap, which brings Lew Fonsecs
to the White Sox in exchange for
