Bucky Harris Nationals packed bag
and baggage today and set sail for
their final swing of the American
League circuit.
Resigned to a second division berth,
the Griffmen nevertheless hope to
salvage at least portion of prestige
by leading home the second flight.
Even this is a prohibitive task, for
it means not only passing the Ath-
leticS. but also overcoming a six-and-
one-half game lead by the f1fth-place
Indians. BY no means, however, is it
impossible.
Leaving tonight for Boston, where
q three-game series will be opened
against Joe Cronin's Red SoX tomor-
row, the Griffs will not return home
until August 81. From Boston their
2l-day road campaign will carry them,
in order. to Detroit, Cleveland, Chi
cago and st. Louis.
Linke Ready Again.

anything but attractive, embracing,
as it does. five double-headers. The
