Bill McKechnie of the Boston
Braves. He fears he would sacri-
flee too much of his defensive
strength If he kept Whitney off
third base until he comes out Of
his surprising slump.
Whitney, with a Six-year slug
ging average of 1903, is supposed
to be one of the most consistent
extra-base hitters in the National
League. To date he has been up
101 times, hitting safely 19 times,
including four doubles, no triples
and one homer.
It know I should rest Whitney,"
McKechnie admitted, "but I can
not afford to now. He is too
valuable defensively. Benching
him might pull him out of his
slump, but the only way can see
for him now is to fight his way out
of it. And know he will and I'm
not so much worried about him as
! would be over some of the others.
Il shifted the lineup yesterday,
hoping it would be of some help
to 'Pinky.' He has been batting

Whitney will be set afire by one OF

game little second baseman of
the Boston Braves. was reported to
be resting comfortably" today fol-
lowing an operation yesterday after
noon to facilitate knitting of an i'm
perfectly healed broken bone in his
left leg.
With his leg in a cast for the Sec
ond time, he waited with cheerful
smile to learn whether he will be able
to resume his 21-year career as a
major league ball player.
An X-ray will be taken in about
two weeks to see how the bone is
knitting, it was said. The break in
the large bone healed nicely after it
was set at st. Petersburg, Fla, early
in April. The leg was broken when
Maranville slid to home plate during
a training camp game with the
Yankees.
Dir. Ralph Fitch performed the
operation yesterday at the General
Hospital in an attempt to bring the
slightly parted break together. He
would not discuss the operation The
only information given out at the
hospital was that his condition was
good" and that he was resting
comfortably"

MYER, RUSSELL CO
OUT INDEFINITELY
Bluege, Slated to Replace
Weird-PIaying Travis,
to Sub for Buddy.
BY JOHN B. KELLER.

@LEVELAND, May 49,
I Whatever Washington's
Y American League cham
pionS get out of this first
Western swing of the year they
surely will deserve, handicapped
as they are.
With the tour barely started,
the Nationals have suffered
enough setbacks to unbalance
the best kind of ball club. And
they have been far from the
best kind since the outset of
the flag fight.
In their first brush out this way
yesterday they not only absorbed a
thrashing from the Indians that left
them just a buck-jump ahead of the
sixth-place Browns, but also lost for
an indefinite period Buddy Myer,
their regular second baseman, and
Jack Russell, their main relief pitcher.
1t also was discovered here that the
internal hemmorhage Al Thomas, the
clubs best winning pitcher this sea-
son, had following the blow over the
heart inflicted by a batted DaU during
the second game of last Saturdays
twin bill in Washington was so severe
that he probably will not be available
for service for another week.
The Nationals are getting all the
breakS-and all bad.
