NEW YORK, Aug. 22.-It would
~ not surprise me if, by De-
cember, Bucky Harris returned to
Washington as manager Of the SEN
ators.
It seems fairly definite that Wal
ter johnson will not get a 1888 con-
tract. Baseball needs men Of Wal
ter's character and influence and
I hope Clark Griffith sees fit to
bring johnson back. But right now
the spirit Of change pervades the
Washington front Office, and it is
my bunch that Harris leads for the
nomination.
Griffith is said TO be considering two
other candidates for the post-Joe Judge
and Sam Rice, veterans Of the Washing
ton club. who have reached the sunset Of
their playing careers. and whose con-
tributions TO the teams success and de-
yotion to duty entitle them to support II
a change is to be made.
However, Harris has experience in his
favor. The Washington club can not afford
further experimentation Bucky led the
Senators to pennants in 1924 and 1925. and
a world championship as well. Consider
ing his handicaps' he has done a splendid
JOB in Detroit. Frank Navin recognizes
Harris qualities and Is eager to keep him
with the Tigers.
But Washington is Harris home. While
the fans OF the Capital have turned sour
on the 1882 Sena tors. they accorded Harris
remarkable welcome when he led the
Washington champions OF 1924 against the
current team last Monday in an exhibition
game

The financial interests which are
behind the eight-ball in Cincinnati
would like to dump the entire prop
osition into the lap of some kind
gentleman with lot of dough. But
at this time no angel looms for the
Rhineland baseball venture.
1t will be recollected that after Howley
had obtained Chick Hafey from the Card
nails and Babe Herman and Schnozz Lom-
bardi from the Dodgers he announced
that reservations for the world series could

pilot with more definite ideas.
In defense OF Howley it must be said
that he has had atrocious luck. Herman
never should have been removed from
Flatbush, where he was a living trade
mark OF a strange ball club. And how was
Uncle Danl to know that Hafey's sore
nose was to get even more sore?
It would be no amazing Circumstance if
to consider the job. But Dave may have
