Just q few weeks ago, while I was
discussing the strength and weakness
of the American League teams with
Connie Mack, the remarkable showing
of Washington came up for considera-
ton. What Connie, whom I regard as
the last word in base ball authority.
had to say about Washington is OF
great interest.
washington is much better club
than 1 thought" he said. Il favored
the Yankees to repeat, but figured my
club had an excellent chance. I based
my belief on our pitching. realized
had a young club that might blow in
a pinch, but I felt our pitching would
be good enough to carry the kids. In
stead of the young club blowing it was
the veteran pitchers who failed me.
Makes Own Breaks.
VYyASHINGTON has proved to
" me that 1t is q very good club.
It has played consistent ball
from the opening of the season. Its
pitching has been steady, II not bril-
liant. In a pinch Crowder has been a
real ace. Russell. who had never been
looked on as a relief pitcher. has been
almost as effective as Marberry.
Winning ball clubs are lucky clubs.
Very often by their daring winning
clubs create their own luck. Washing
ton got all the breaks In luck this sea-
son and won.
"That b typical of penant-
winning clubs. In the yeaf1 my
club won the pennant and world
series they got plenty Of breaks
Washington ID . good club; H
has been lucky and 1t won."
What Mack had to say about Wash
ington luck caused me to glance over
the season in retrospect. I had to agree
that in many a game Washington, by
taking a chance, had created the break
that proved the deciding factor. When
the season opened it was my opinion
weakness in reserve strength would
probably be the Senators undoing.

Ryan began to talk pennant. Blondy
Is light hearted and chatty, and en-
thusiasm is natural to him.
His pennant talk was just 50
much conversation to the boys,
at first, but as the season pro-
gressed through fairly successful
Western trip they began to listen
more attentively.
And the secret hope his words had

Immediately in the wake of the now
celebrated telegram he addressed to us
at st. Louis in July.
AS you will recall, Blondy was out
of the lineup at the time as result
of a spike wound sustained at the Polo
Grounds. In his absence the Giants
had lost seven straight games, and their
hold on the leadership was seriously
threatened.
Schumacher Halts Slump.
"HE night the telegram was received
II the Giants were at the seasons

gress further, the slump would surely
have driven them out of the pennant
fight. But the next day Schumacher
pitched 4-to-0 shutout against the

the team moved right along at its old
pace.
The boys were sold on the pennant
idea after that The Pirates, the Car
dinals and the Cubs all had their
chance to catch us" they told each
other. "They couldn't do it; they won't
