Washingtons in the approaching

three years as a member Of the Browns

Of his potentialities, appears to be
treading water and getting no place
in particular.
But between 'em, M. Grifath and
M. Harris seem to hold a certain
power over ball players Of the Had

Heady Hurler Now, Harris View.

"A HANAGER HARRIS expressed
N similar views. Bump was the
best experienced pitcher We
had a chance to get and think we've
made a fine deal. I always liked his
work when I was with the club be-
fore. OF course, then Hadley pitched
more with his arm than his head, as
SO many youngsters do" remarked
Harris. "But he's learned plenty since.
I'D say he's good enough now to
figure ON him for 18 wins in a season
with a club like .washington's to back
him up. Why, he won Is games for .
poor st. Louis team two years ago"
Bucky pointed out. "If he could do
that well with such an outfit he should
do much better with u.s.
Neither Griffith nor Harris felt that

""HIS deal was made because we

ting the experienced pitcher
needed to round out our staff" was
Griffith's comment. Bump has every
thing to make him good pitcher I'd
say. He looked natural when he was
with us before, but lacked that
smoothness a major Lacquer must
have. He's got that now. believe,
and he ought to go well for Washing

with Hadley added, we have staff
that should make considerable trouble
for the other clubs in the league. He's
. horse for work, good for turn every
four days. And he'll be pitching with
a crew including Whitehill, Weaver,
Russell, Burke and Stewart. II Iinke's
arm proves right, we'll have another

of Hadley will make Washington q

He explained a $7,Oo0,000 reduction

but said there would be no decrease in
the number to be put to work. The
writer's division, which is compiling a

its activities, he added, while indica-
tions were that additional funds would
be provided for the other projects
when present allotmentS are exhausted
