one another is the determining
factor in the measure Of success
attained by the club as a whole.
In one game. or even a set of

factor to justify accepting the
result as an accurate gauge Of
which is the more formidable
outfit.
When Connie Mack's bunch
handily defeated the band boSsed
by John McGraw at Chicago last
July, for instance. it might have
been assumed as result that
the American League was more
powerful than the rival circuit.

with some lusty clouting.
viii Make Many Changes.
TERRY. the playing pilot of the
Nationals and the only portside
hitter in the probable starting
lineup against Gomez, expects to use
most If not all four of his right hand
ers. In the order in which they may
appear they are Lon Warneke, Dizzy
Dean. Van Mungo and Fred Frank
house. Cronin's pitching alternates,
also entirely right-handed. are Ruff
fing, Mel Harder. Tommy Bridges
and Jack Russell.
Because Of the desire to let all
20 men on each side see some
action. even If only as a pinch hit
ter. there will be frequent changes.
Cronin has Micky Cochrane and
Rick Ferrell to substitute for Dickey
behind the bat, Jimmy Foxx and
Jimmy Dykes, as infield replace
ments. with Sam West, Earl Av-
erill and Ben Chapman for outfield
duty. Terry's reserves include Floyd
Vaughan, Pepper Martin and Bill
Herman, infielders, and Paul waner,
outfielder. Vaughan may start at
shortStop in the event Jackson's eye
still handicaps him. The veteran
Giant infielder is suffering from a
stye or some other infection.
Although the American Leaguers.
because of their more imposing bat
ting records, are the betting ia
vorites to make IL two in a row in
this all-star debate, the Nationals
look for Terry's luck and skill to
square accounts.
