the time was canny Connie Mack,
who made no bones about express
ing the opinion that the collection
of Service-Worn veterans and mex
perienced youngsters Clark Griffith
handed to brand-new pilot of un-
usually tender years was strictly a
one-year team
Yet they came back the following
season and, with bit of bolstering,
made an even better record In again
coping the American League ban
ner, although succumbing to the
Pirates in the Fall title set.
Now that the Nationals again have
shown the way to all seven rivals in
their circuit, although this time
being routed by the Giants in the
world series, there is similar tend
ency on the part of those wise in the
ways of base ball to minimize the
strength of flag winner which, CO.
incidentally, also is bosSed by new
and youthful playing manager-Joe
Cronin
AS in the case of the Harrismen,
the current Cronin crews success Is
being attributed more to the disin-
tegration of the once great Yankee
machine and the mediocrity of its
opponents than to inherent class on
the part of the Nationals themselves,
and their defeat by the Giants is
cited as corroborative evidence.
ONE very important thing being
overlooked by those inclined
to sell the Griffmen short,
however, is that in pitching
variously estimated at from 60 to
85 per cent of a teams strength
the 1884 edition has every prospect
of being even more formidable than
this years for the simple reason
that Monte Weaver should be
available for service throughout the
campaign instead of only half Of
it as was the case this past Sum-
mer.
Al Crowder, Earl Whitehill and
Walter Stewart, with Jack Russell
to back them up, constitute
pretty classy curving corps in them
selves, without taking into consider
alton Al Thomas, Bob Burke or
the others, but with the addition
of Weaver on a full-time basis 1t
shapes up as just about the best
balanced in the circuit
As contrasted with his 1882 rec
ord of % games won and 10 lost,
Weaver this year turned in 10 VIC
tories and 5 defeats, the difference
in the number of games participated
in being due to the fact that during
the most recent campaign he was
entirely out of action for period
of more than two months, from
June 2 to August 5, to be exact.
A mysterious arm ailment which
finally was traced to a stomach dis
order made of Weaver just SO much
excess baggage over a stretch of nine
weeks in which has absence was
costly, not only on the score of his
winning ways being missed, but be-
cause 1t threw more Of strain on
the fingers who had to carry the
burden while he was idling.
TT IS significant that during the
time Weaver was devoting his
time exclusively to diagnosticians
and other specialists the Nationals
jumped from trailing the Yankees
three and one-half games to four
game margin of leadership, but the
extra toll this imposed on his con-
tinuously active mates showed up
during the stretch run and carried
over into the world series where
Crowder, particularly, displayed the
deleterious effects of overwork.
At the time Weaver pulled up with
his lame fipper his record showed
four wins and three losses for ap-
proximately seven weeks OF cam
paigning, and in the eight weeks

He was never outbooted and wound
up with an average of around AZ
yards.
Six of Alabama's nine opponents
were held scoreless. Two made
safeties and two counted single
touchdowns Seventeen points in
nine games, an average Of less than
two points per contest.
The Crimson goal drives failed
against Mississippi and Fordham.
Other major clubs found no great
difficulty scoring on either of these
outfits.
Alabama's best show of power
came against Tennessee, when the
Crimsons rolled up two ,touchdowns.
Except for one brief furry, which
luckily netted the games only touch
down, the Alabama attack was no
great shakes against Vanderbilt.

The Alabama forewan was one of

ton Coach Frank Thomas loses nine
players. They are Tom Hupke, for
two years named as a guard on the

because of the possibility of big games

This matter of schedule making in
foot ball is not as easy as 1t seems.
When a schedule is announced 1t may
seem to the general public that it was
simply a case Of representatives OF
certain institutions getting together to
say "We'l play foot ball next Fall on such
and such a date" but nothing could be
further from fact. Some of the most
astute angling one could imagine often
is INDUCED in before a game is settled
or even before an agreement can be
obtained from one of the teams to play
at all First, if the game itself appeals
to both schools. it is a matter OF COM

comes a question of whether it will be
a game for one year. two years or three
years, and then what the financial ar

as a financial venture is likely to be
successful. and a thousand and one
other questions to which intercollegiate
competition gives rise have to be settled
before the really big foot ball games are

health kept him away from
Washington for weeks at a time,
it was reported he would resign
and that Douglas would be ap-

have changed.
Changes Watched Closely
The effect of these Treasury
changes will be closely watched
by financial circles both at home
and abroad. But for the mo-
ment, it is apparent that Mr..
Roosevelt is determined to pursue
his goldpurchase plan in the face
of all opposition.
The dollar has drifted steadily
downward in the pursuance OF
this policy, and commodity prices
have risen somewhat, although
not as much as sponsors Of the
plan had hoped.
Sagging Government bond prices
at home have been the principal
source of concern, for the Gov
ernment must shortly engage in
bond operations on a huge scale
in order to finance relief meas
ureS.
Failure of the policy to realize
all that had been expected Of 1t

the Presidential advisers. Pre-
sumably, that will now be ended
and the experiment will be pur'
sued with unanimity and force.
