MAGNATES WATCH
NATIONALS MOVES
Dutfleider Obtained From
j Yanks on Waivers Looks
to Be Helpful.
By JOHN b. FOSTER.

~ FEW YORK, January 10
M Every move made by the
Washington team in prep
aration for the American
League race of 1881 is watched
keenly by rival clubs. They think
Clark Griffith caught them nap
ping last year-and he did. Connie
Mack, sage Of the league, did not
dream, as the season began, that
Washington would be the team
that would crowd the Athletics to
the end, nor did others.
The addition of Harry Rice, for
snerly of the Browns, the Tigers and the
Yankees, to the Washington team for
next season, can hardly do the outfleld
anything but good, although 1t may not
make it the best in the league. Rice
was acquired BY the waiver route this
week.
Versatile Player.
AS a player Rice could be one of the
best of the circuit. Every now and then
he has displayed ability above the
ordinary. He can be sensational IN
fielding, timely in batting and is no
mean base runner.
With Manush and Rice on the same
team, Washington has two players who
were so highly thought Of in st. Louis
at one time that the Browns had some
hope Of winning the pennant.
This season washington win have
both Sam Rice and Harry Rice. The
former is almost the opposite of the in
coming Rice in temperament. Sam IS
one of those ball players who never
stop trying, and his ambition has made
him one of the tiptop men Of the
washington team. It has been pre-
dicted that he would falter In batting
one season after another, vet in 1880
he was one of the best batters of the
league, with percentage Of ,349. Har-
ny Rice batted an even 800 in 1890 and
he can do better than that.
Excellent Handy Man.
If the regular outfeld Of the Wash
ingtons Is composed of Manush, Sam
Rice and West in 1891, it should be as
good an outfield as that Of last season.
If ore of them is injured or falters, the
Washington team in the general run Of
things should be well on with Harry
Rice as q utility man.
washington jumped in 1880 from o
team bathing .276 in 1929 to one that
batted .302. AS team gain that is
extraordinary. The net increase Of %
points from one season to the next Is
q very big increase when it is recalled
that the club traded Goose GoSlin,
reliable batter, to obtain Manush.
Neither washington nor ST. Louis ap-
peared to lose much by that trade, as
both men have had slight arm trouble.

Footwork, as was said earlier in
