NINE OUT OF TEN

Club Bats .236.
BY JOHN b. KELLER.

~ PHILADELPHIA, Pa, April
- 21.-Until Joe Cronin finds
some member of his curv-
l. ing corps who can go
through four or five innings on
the hill without taking a fancy
failing, the Nationals wins are
likely to be few and far between.
With the champs hitting so lightly
they have an average of only 1886 at
bat for their five games to date-they
must have alright pitching to make
any progress. Thus far, however, the
Washington pitchers have been as
loose as ashes.
So ineffective have they been that
Manager Cronin has had to call on
nine of the ten pitchers at his COM
mand with less than a week of the
season gone. Only Bob Burke, the
stringbean southpaw, has yet to swing
into action, and there was a great
chance he would be seen in today's
game here with the Athletics.
In the A innings the Nationals
chuckers have toiled in this infant
championship campaign they have
been nicked for an average of more
than six runs, better than IL hits
and above three passes per nine in
nings. No wonder the champs have
dropped their last three games.
Going from bad to worse, the
Washington curvers took their heaviest
punishment yesterday as the Nationals
were licked, 9 to 6, in their first meet
ing this season with the Athletics.

In 1908 he came to Sheridan
county from Washington an,

was one of the first tractor farm
