N With the SPORTS Editor.
BY DENMAN THOMPSON.
@LARK GRIFFITH, canny
1 old codger that he is,
~ sees in the added punch
of the Nationals this


" sees in the added punch
of the Nationals this
year the chief reason why
they reasonably may be ex-
pected to make a better show
ing than in 1881, despite a
pitching situation that leaves
considerable to be desired.
1t generally is agreed Walter
JohnSon'S troupe could make
good use of another estab-
liShed boXman, in addition to
a seasoned infielder to assist
Johnny Kerr with the utility
chores, but the need is less
great than would be the case
if the attack had not been
bolStered.
The boss man of the outfit
points out that while hurlerS
of the caliber of Marberry,
Crowder and Brown are essen
tial for a contender, just as
Grove, EarnShaw and Walberg
are to the AS, and Gomez, Ruff
111lE d1lA OO11xlOoI1 W GIlC L dllhS,
the chances of lesser lights for
victory on the mound are in
creased in proportion to the
batting ability of their mates.
Hardest Hitting Local Team.
THERE is no doubt that with
Carl Reynolds added to an
ensemble already boasting
StickSmiths of the unQueS-
toned prowess of Myer, Man
ush, West and Cronin, and
with such worthless as Bluege,
Judge, Kuhel, Rice, Harris and
Spencer also to be reckoned
with, the Nationals possess the
most potent punch of any out
fit ever to represent the Cap
ital.
With their fails functioning
at a normal. gait it will not be
necessary for the team to be
represented on the hill by a
star in order that a gratifying
percentage of victories be
achieved.
Such fingers as Carl Fischer,
Monte Weaver and Bob Burke,
although rated considerably
below the top trio in effective
ness, frequently will be pitted
against boxmen of no higher
grade and it is then the PROV
eSS in batting of the men back
ing them up will settle the
issue.
Two Other Prime Factors.
VIZ HILE on the subject of
wv pitchers and their i'm
portance to a club
Griff might have gone a bit
further and mentioned the
part played by smart and
speedy baserunning, coupled
with the skill of the cast
afield.
Both are prime factors, for it
Is through speed on the paths
that a maximum of results is
attained from the bingles
manufactured, and it is the
ability of his supporters on
defense that largely deter
mines the effectiveness of a
pitcher.
In both speed afoot on the
lines and sheer fielding skill
the Nationals have no superior
in the American League,
whether compared with rivals
on the basis of its inf1eld, its
outfield, or as an aggregation.
Everything considered Griff's
view that his entry should
prove a telling factor in the
pennant race seems fully justi-
fled.

New Bedford, Mass. Nov 17-- (UP)-Mayor Charles s. Ashley, "A, of New Bedford, oldest mayor in point of service in the United States, has, retracted a decision to retire and will seek a 27th term in the city election to be held De- cember 26.
 It was the mayors daughter, Hannah, who really made 1t possi- ble for him to run again, for she released him from a promise to retire-on condition that he ab- stain from any active campaigning.
 Supporters of the mayor had no fear that he would be defeated in lieu of a campaign, for in 1926 while seriously i'll in a Boston hos pital, he was reelected on stick CTS.
 In announcing he would. be a candidate for reelection, Ashley said he was unable to ignore the dramatic appeal" of the delegation of 50 prominent citizens who called upon him at city hall a few days -agO.

LIQUOR MEN OF | NEW YORK OUT ! TO GET LIMIT
Believing This Will Be Their Last Holiday Under Dry Ls- They Force Up Prices

New York, Nov 17-(UP)-The price of liquor spurted to-day as bootleg organizations prepared to wiring the profits from what vets believe may be the. last holiday feast under prohibition.
 Scotch and rye were up $5 to $S a case. Gin $6 and other bever- ages in proportion with 20 per cent rise scheduled over the entire range. If the demand before Thanksgiving is great enough, prices may go still higher for Christmas and New Years, it was learned.
 The increases are artificial, the product of an efficient underworld distribution system. Prices are re- ported lower in Canada, quantity is ample and enforcement has not become more stringent, but rack eteers are determined to make the east pay a heavy price for its last prohibition fling.
