fair to assume that Harris has
pretty much what he wants. His
player dole, together with his rec
ogniZed SmartnesS as o field direc-
tor are his lone assets. He'll make
the two stretch as far as any man
in managerial robes and I think
that all Shrewd baseball observers
will grant him that.
Belongs Out There
This particular onlooker ap-
plauds Bucky's mid-winter decis-
ion to appear in the coaching box.
Away back last summer it was
here recorded that there was an
opportunity to instill a lot Of con-
fidence, both in his team and in
the stands, if Bucky would get out
Of the dugout and onto the side
lines.
The fellow was almost q
stranger to the average fan. inso-
far as his appearance in uniform
was concerned. Only when a dis
pute over a decision needed back
ing up by Harris, was he visible.
Down through the trying mo-
ments of competition when his
personal appearance might have
meant much to his base-runnerS
and batters, there was an un-
avsiled opportunity for the
local manager to give psychologist
cal stiffening to the teams cause.
Personable to the nth degree,
Bucky Harris belongs out in front:
but behind that, his knowledge
and ability dictate he should be
as close to the action as the code
of the game permits. He must
have come to this decision. also,
and his course will merit a lot Of
approval,

or not the boys can crash the first
division. Some supporters of the
outfit believe it can finish third.
Others content themselves with
placing it fourth.
This writer sticks to his original
estimate Of the club and assigns it
to fifth place, at the same time
conceding it a fair chance to crash
the first division; a chance to fin
iSh fourth under certain condi-
lions.
The Griffs last year finished
II games out of the first division.
Boston finished fourth, winning
Is games and losing IS. The
Griffs won 81 and lost Sc.
Boston naturally is eliminated
from any doubtful list in 1886
representations. The Red Sox
should win, or maybe finish Sec
ond. So we turn to the doubtful
teams. They are Cleveland and
New York. The Yankees beat the
Griffs by % games last year.
Cleveland beat the Griffs by Is

If for no other reason than
that New York has acquired Joe
Di Maggie, who, if only so per
cent of the athlete he is heralded
as being, will add tremendous
power to the Rupert outfit we
cannot see the Griffs beating
New York. OF course, Lazzeri and
CroSetti are doubtful elements in
the New York team. Lazzeri's
years and CroSetti'S knee make
critics skeptical.

Powell Watches
Takonna Tigers
Win,4to3
BY SID KATZNELL

What does a ball played do on
his day off? Watch ball game.
Well, anyhow Jake Powell,
Washington'S cleanup hitter, did
just that yesterday.
Taking advantage Of his day
off, Powell braved the inclement
weather and watched the Takoma
Tigers defeat the Ross jewelers.,
4 to 3, in 10 innings on the Silver
Spring diamond.
Played With Tigers
It was with the Takoma Tigers
that Powell first gained recogni-
ton as a ball player. He played
with the Tigers when they won
the unlimited championship of
the city. and, oddly enough, he
played center field and batted
cleanup.
Getting back to yesterdays
game, Bellman and Jarboe hurled
for the Tigers and only allowed
nine hits between them. Second
base Devers led the attack for
Takoma with two telling blows,
a double and q single.
However, McGardy, the losers
hot corner guardian was the bat
ting hero of the day with three
hits including a long double.
Club and James worked on the
mound for the losers. They did
a pretty good job, but not good
enough.
Pound Brown and Payne
Pounding Lefty Brown and Bill
Payne for is hits, st. Mary's Gel
tics, the pride Of Alexandria, won
their second straight Of the sea-
son by downing Howard Wyche's
Old Milwaukee, II to 2, in Alex
andria yesterday.
The CelticS socked out two
doubles, two triples and a home
run. Art Lacey. starting pitcher
for the CelticS, electricfied the
fans by tanning the first three
to face him.
Hamilton and Godfrey hit the
doubles; Benson and McCarty
socked the triples, and McCarty
drove out the homer. Lacey al
lowed only four hits in seven
innings and his successor, Carney,
permitted two hits in two innings.

Lineup for First
Game Tomorrow

pick up ten games, there are pleas
ing possibilities there. But giving
the advantages that must be con-
coded and taking the edges that
rightfully belong to the team, fifth
place seems reasonable spot for
the club, and there are the chances
to improve that will make the
season interesting.
Bucky Harris is to be COM
mended in his resolve to hold
Buddy Lewis out of action in the
opening game. This writer has
set forth here several times that
despite the brilliant performance
of the Chattanooga recruit, he still
is a boy of 10 summers. He is be
ginning to feel the pressure Of the
approaching season.
Harris is doing exactly what
this writer has seen John J. NC
Graw do with rockies. McGraw
worked them along nicely and
gave them confidence. He sat them
on the bench when they began to
fret and let a veteran play. Usually
McGraw had the kid sit near him
and lectured to him during q
game.
Wise Move 70
It would be wise, perhaps to let
Bluege play third for a week or
longer. OF course if the veteran
stylist gets in there for a week,
he may remain there for the sea-
son. Even that would be all right.
The Griffs will be a better out
fit this year beyond challenge or
the viciSsitudes Of the season. Buck
Newsom is in fine form despite a
wobbly exhibition against Brook
Ign. Jess Hill is a better left
fielder than this team has had in
some time, and Travis, the short
stop, is better than Travis the
third baseman ever thought Of
being.
The position Of the Griffs at
the end of the season will be estab-
lished by the pitchers. For the
last little while the hurlerS have
not been on their games, and this
writer traces Just a look of con-
Germ on the face Of Bucky Harris.
The pitchers simply must pull
themselves together or the summer
will be long and dreary. White
hill, especially, will have to get
something on the ball beyond what
he displayed in his last few
starts.
All allowances are made for bad
weather and what not, but boys,
we're right up against the season
now, and the alibis are measured
only on the lost side Of the stand
ing Of the clubs.

It is not merely a platitude that
I leave with you in thus paying
my respects to the young general
Clark Griffith has chosen to com
mand his nondeScript assembly Of
players. It is my earnest thought
that whatever talent there is in
the wearers of the Griffith cloth,
Bucky Harris is quite equipped
to extract it therefrom.
Rated a Good Leader
I know this belief is shared by
some smart baseball minds, but I
haven't seen it emphasized enough
and possibly that is why the pres.
emit hour is chosen to pen the ref
erence.
And I will add that however far
the team goes this year it will be
tho direct result of the patience
and possibly the cajoling Of
Bucky who, twist the truth
around in any form you wish,
can't be said to be heading a pen
nant-winning possibility.
Plainly and simply, therefore,
this club is going to need manag-
ing. OF course, any ball club needs
that. Perhaps by making the OBJ
Eervation that Boston or Detroit
will not need nearly the managing
that Washington will require, the
thought I wish to carry may be
left with you.
A Mature Manager
Therefore the statement that
Bucky Harris by nature and by a
well-matured experience wrought
only through heart-aching ups and
downs which have been his, is
qualified to get all out of the
Washington menage that is in it.
The plucky local pilot is en-
barking this time with team
that is far more patterned to his
idea Of what a ball club should
be, say, than was last years do
nestle edition.
A year ago, we all know, Bucky
was taking over a team designed
In the mind of Clark Griffith-a
team that Griff thought was rep
reSentative and which he figured
might hold up it's end. He asked
Bucky to take it out on the field
and offered to accept all respon-
sibility, which, it must be said to
his credit, he did shoulder without
evasion.
However, no two baseball minds
function exactly alike. Thus the
ideal set-up in the vision of one
man would not necessarily meet
the specifications required by an
other. So Harris was really handi-
capped by having in his lap the
creation Of another-Sound as it
may have seemed to Griffith, its
architect and author.
A Harris Ball Club
But, here in 1896, we find a team
In which Harris has had a heavy
hand. He has been head to head
with Griff in manipulating this
player for that-one combination
for another-exemplified in the
trades and shifts which the past
winter produced.
