WOULD HEAD LOOP
WITH HITS, TRIPLES
Now Has Most Safeties, Tied
for Three-Baggers-Tribe
DoWned by Weaver.
BY JOHN B. KELLER.

T IEINIE MANUSH, ranking
- batter of the league-lead-
i / ing Nationals, swings with
much freedom these days,
hopeful of fulfilling two ambitions
The big Dutchman is striving to
set the hit-total record of the
campaign and make more triples
than any other batter in the
circuit.
He barely missed both these
marks last year, but this time he
has a great chance to hit the two
Heinie now looms as the batter
likely to have most hits to his credit
at the wind-up of the season. He
already leads the league in this respect
with plenty to spare. The siege gun
of the Potomac has smacked 20l
safeties. The nearest batter to him is
well down in the 1905.
Collecting two hits yesterday,
as the Nationals beat the In
dians, S to l, Manush became the
first batter in the ma jors to reach
the 2OO-hit total this season.
ManuSh has a big battle on his
hands to get the triple championship
however Today he is tied with Earl
Averill of the Indians for the lead at
making this type of safety. Each has
socked 16.
1t was in yesterdays game that
Heinie brought about the deadlock by
hitting to left-center for three bases
in the third inning and driving across
the run that proved sufficient for his
clubs victory.
Only the day before, Averill
had arrested the lead from Mo
nush by making taDo thumps OF
this type. These ripals 1pill be

But he is a dangerous hitter.
He goes on streaks for no good

And then peters down to watery

Yet he is the rookie sensation Of the
year in the older loop. He came bounc-

so well that the trade went for him

He fields with all of the gusto OF a

carry the pineapple over the line.
He chdtters and urges, leaps
and takes sensational chances on
plays Which are not tagged for
him.
Young Mr.. Ryan-he is 25 years OF
age-is the pepper pot OF the infieid
and that's not taking any credit away
from the zealousness and fire of Bill
Terry, the plotting first baseman. Bill
Is the spark in another way. No team
could stand two flrebrands Of the Ryan
type.
Down under their vests, the Giants
are looking for Blondy to do Pepper
Martin in this promised series between
the Giants and Griffs. They know that
even if his war club does not have any
more potency than feather duster
for the length of the series there will
come occasions when a spirited wallop
will be needed. And Blondy will come
through for his alma mater.
And they know that out there
In the infield he will stop every
thing the Mats bruisers nail out,
unless the hits are chimney top
pers.
And as for the trades entertainment,
Blondy will surpass any member OF
both teams. His daring plays and his
constant chatter is earning for him
the biggest hand any Giant has drawn
from its clientele since Christy Mathew
son. There will be no one on the Sen
ators' team to compete in enthusiasm
with Ryan.
The Nationals, rather, 90 in for
quiet, ndchine-ike play that re-
Quires little or no oratory on cir
Gus atmosphere.
But whether Ryan gases the trade
or does not, he is the biggest find the
Giants have dug up in many years.
An improvement at the plate, which
Terry believes will come along, as did
Joe Cronins gradual batting better

out
First labeled a fresh busher for his
reluctance to take advice from the vet
erans, Blondy had tough time in max
ing his mates see that it was not i'm
pertinence that caused his attitude. 1t
was an excess Of nervous energy which
caused him to keep talking and seldom
listening-yet needing the advice.

|" league laurels, another free
swinging member of the Cap
1tal clan is battling bravely to come
out of the campaign as 300 batter
Goose Goslin, at one time one of the
leagues most powerful sluggers, has
found the pitching exceptionally diff
cult to solve this season and much OF
the time his average with the stick
has been under par for high-grade
hitters.
Ten days ago, the Goose was exactly
at the 300 mark. Putting on extra
pressure since, though, he has lifted
the average to .304, reaching those
figures yesterday when he raked the
Cleveland curvers for three singles.
Two of the hits Goslin got by
dint of speed on the ho0f. for
he had to hustle to first ahead
of throws from the shortstop,
who had scOoped up the drives.
His third hit was fine slam to
center, however, that gave him
ample time to reach the initial
sack.
The Goose's safeties represented one
third of the total cleaned off the pair
of Tribe pitchers sent into action by
Manager johnson and each led Wash

1t was Fred Schultz who backed the
Goose'S single with a two-bagger of

Between the times the Nationals were

were made off the professor. Also
three passes were handed out by him.
Half the hits, however, were not yielded
until the last two innings and not until
after two we're out in the ninth did an
Indian reach the plate.
Monte seemed in hot water
when the Tribe had the bases

depend largely Pi1les
on smashes inside and out of the
tackle positions, with a generous
change of pace that finds their
fleet backs tearing around the
ends and their sturdy fullback
plowing into the middle Of the
line.
Tennesee's interference is truly
brilliant. Major Robert Neyland
has long enjoyed the reputation
of being able to teach his play
erS how to block.
Vols Have Strength
The Vols not only have the
technique but in addition plenty
of strength, and when they hit
their opponents the latter usually
do not remain on their feet.
But with this emphasis on
attack, the forthcoming inter-
sectional classic may we'll develop
into a defensive struggle between
two determined lines. Tennessee
has allowd its opponents only %
touchdowns in the past five
years-a record that speaks for
itself. This year, while having
lost two games, the Vols haven't
retrogressed with respect to their
defensive strength.
George Washington's problem
is to improve it's line play to a
degree that will match the Knox
vile team on both offense and
defense.
G. w. Attack AS Good
I believe that G. WIS attack
potentially is as good as Ten
nessee's. But on defense the
Colonials must charge harder
and faster than in any previous
game, if they hope to take the
Vols into camp.
In the West Virginia Wesleyan
contest G.. WIS offensive charge
was not sufficiently sustained
after the first one or two forward
steps were taken. This fault must
be overcome in practice remaining
before Saturday. Also, the CO.
lonials must be prepared to en-
counter probably the fiercest type
of offensive blocking in the
South.
extensively, G. WIS efforts are
being confined to polishing up
some plays that haven't been
used thus far. We were able to
beat Auburn without resorting to
any but basic plays.
The Washington times., 1933-10-31

on the part of the individual
players. Many players have the
knack of leading an opponent
out of position with facial ex-
preston, motions of the head,
or weaving of the body. Power
plays are the basic plays and
drive directly toward the point
of attack. Cut back plays are
usually power plays. The Rockne
system employs deception to the
nth degree. In fact, proficiency
in deception is the keynote;
feint in both blocking and in
terfering, both body and head,
with intentions of covering up
the point they intend to strike.
The Notre Tame system employs
both, and power is demanded be-
fore the slight of hand perform
ance is attempted or performed.
Pop" Warner of Temple is
noted for his great power, and
the success of his double and
triple reverses and fake reverses
are based on tie success of
power. No system is complete
without both elements in the at
tack. While deception plays
vital part, and can be used to
an advantage in every play, it
is wise to add it as part of
the power play rather than the
foundation of it.
Key To Offense
A good plunging and hard
driving fullback is the key to
good offense, everything else, of
course, being fairly equal. Look
over any of the leading football
elevens of the country and you
will discover that they possess
a back who can gain one, two
and three yards when needed.
1t is this power which demands
that the defense play in normal
position; and it is this power
which is the basis of a sue
cessful passing attack because it
holds the line in position and
draws the secondary up to meet
the threat of the "buck" and
running attack inside and out
side the tackles.
