NEW YORK, May Elm an ef-

series with the New York Yankees,
Manager Walter johnson today
will return Heine Manush to left
field and OSsie Bluege to third
base when the Washington Club
concludes hostilities with Joe Nc
Carthy's New York Yankees.
Roy Spencer also is expected to
show behind the bat.
A stiffness in Manush'S throw
ing arm and Bluege's cold have
handicapped the Griffs so far
Both reported themselves greatly
improved today.
Finger Is Hurt
Spencer has been bothered by a
slightly irritated finger on his
throwing hand. But he, too, is
ready to see action.
Well be in there with our
best today" Johnson declared
this morning. "They licked us
plenty yesterday. But the boys
have worked themselves up to
a fighting pitch and are ready
to let loose"
Sir Walter is confident that the
temperance of Manush and
Bluege in the lineup will bolster
his teams chances.
Look what that same COM
binatiOn has performed during
the past two years." he reminds
you. "We're not the same un-
less they're in there. That's
why l look for our club to come
through today"
Pitcher Ad Liska is trying
comeback! And his report to
Clark Griffith yesterday indicates
that he may yet throw off the
soreness surrounding his throw
ing arm. He said:
"I'm taking my time, but am
slowly trying to work my arm
into shape. / think / may
succeed. I'll let you know just
