x paw who has done little more

eight years of hanging around
the Nationals, Is in line to take the
hill for his ball club at the outset OF
the championship campaign next
Tuesday.
Definitely assigned to the stan of
starting pitchers for the first time In
his career with the Washington outfit,
the left-hander who came up from
Little Rock along the draft route to
become a big Lacquer in 1927 now Is
regarded by Manager Stanley Harris
as a good choice to open fire against
the Athletics in the season inaugural.
Harris said today that the honor Of
flinging in the first encounter before
the President of the United States
and hest of Government dignitaries
expected to be at Griffith Stadium
now rests between Burke and Earl
Whitehill, a fellow left-hander.
The manager was inclined to believe
that Burke might be in better trim
for the test, however. While Whitehill
trained we'll at the Biloxi camp, he has
been set back to no little extent by the
miserable weather that has prevented
the Nationals carrying on with their
conditioning work to the fullest
extent. On the other hand, Burke has
not been much affected by the curtail-
