Easy for Orthodox Pitchers.

yHEN the Nationals took the field
wv this year it was freely pre-
dicted that their batting order,
topheavy with left-hand swingers.
would be moved down by left-hand
hurlers. However, they have bat
tied to an even break with the south
paw slabmen. 1t has been right-hand
pitchers who have drubbed the Har-
ris hands In eight of their dozen
defeats.
In the last three engagements
right-handers have scored over the
Washington club and they have made
marks particularly of its left-hand
batters OF the IA hits made by
the Nationals in the last trio of
tussels 9 were slammed by left
hand batters and by right-hand
batters.
With all their vaunted power, the
Nationals who do their wand-waving
from the port side, certainly have no
alibi for their ineffectiveness in attack
this week. In only two of the 27 in
nings played did the opposition have a
fork-hand finger on the hill. The Ma
tionals got the type of pitching con-
sidered the more favorable to their
kind of lineup and made the least
of it,

Left-Handed Batters Lag.

TN THE three games Buddy Myer,
Cecil Travis, Jack Stone and
Heinie Manush, left-hand swingers
all, made two hits each. Joe Kuhel,
another left-hander, got one hit. But
Jake Powell, the rookie, with his right
hand slashes, made four hits, and
Fred Sington, another right t-hander,
who went to bat only twice, got a
safety.
Cliff Bolton, who wields his war
club from the port side, failed to hit
safely in nine times at bat. Perhaps
this was offset, though, by the failure
OF Lyn Larry and Red KreSs to get
good sock in eight times up between
them. Otherwise, the count against
the left-hand batters is quite heavy.
1t was too bad that the Nationals
had to falter afield yesterday, for they
could have made great battle of the
series opener with the Tigers despite
their weakness at the plate. Tommy
Bridgs did a superb piece of pitching
for the champions, but Bump Hadley
also was in fine fettle and gave a
splendid account of himself under the
circumstances.

YAKE POWELL, Washington's

~ as the Nationals second-place
batter that he became yester-
day says Bucky Harris, but the man
ager may continue to cast about for
a cleanup hitter.
Jack Stone is getting second trial
in the fourth position in the batting
order after brief one at the outset
of the season. He took over the
berth yesterday from Joe Kuhel, who
was dropped to sixth place with Cliff
Bolton going back to the seventh
spot Powell had occupied.
Beside Stone and Kuhel, the clean
up place has been filled by Red Kress,
but only for a game None of the
batters tried there has been particu-
larly satisfactory. They have made
their hits occasionally, but not often
when the hits meant runs.
Until Harris uncovers a cleanup
batter with good eye and a strong
arm the Nationals will have their un-
pleasant afternoons and many of
them.
Lyn Larry, after gracing the bench
for two days, was to resume his job
at shortstop this afternoon. If the
lay-of has sharpened his batting eye
1t will go down as a great move by
Harris.
