At the same time, to cover up their
resistance to the demands of their
own rank and file members and of
the Negro people generally that they
join the united front fight to save
the boys, the N.A.A.C.P. leaders ped

NEW YORK, March 24.-With
the best all-round pitching staff in
its league, a crack lnfleld, and a
smuggling outfieId, the Washington
Senators are expected to be in the
thick Of the American League fight
from April to October.
The Senators finished second last
year, eight games behind the Ath-
let1cS. This year, according to
Owner Clark Grif1thS and Manager
Walter Johnson, there again will be
an eight game margin. but the
senators, not the AS will hold it.
There are several reasons for their
optimism, the first and most i'm
portant being the pitching staff of
Alvin CroWder, Lloyd Brown, Irving
(Bumps) Hadley, Sad Sam Jones
and Fred Marberry. Crowder won
eighteen games in 1890, Brown l6,
and the other three fifteen each.
Supporting the "big-fve" is Bob
Burke, a left-hander Of much prom
Use. The Washington hurting staff,
it will be remembered, had the best
earned-run average in the league
last season, allowing but 1896 earned
runs per game.

hit hitting, however, by his great

Harry Rice and Davis Harris, both

Roy Spencer again will do most of
the catching, with Pinky Hargrave

Bolton is likely to see service as
