WITH typical hustle the Nationals
wv drilled this afternoon for the
Yankee series. They figure they are
destined to run second and this may
be half the battle.
The picture of the Mats going to
New York and trying to hurdle the
Yanks to actually run second Is a
fanciful, If true, picture. The Yanks
figure to run them out Of town. In
Pearson and Rufing they have a
couple pitchers who will be seeking
victory No. 20 in the series. In
Gehrig the Gothamites have q guy
who has chance of leading the
league In half a dozen departments.
Even the White Sox, whom the Ma
tionals hope to beat out, have a big
edge in producing individual STAN
outs. All season Rip Radcliff and
Luke Appling have been among the
batting leaders. Vernon Kennedy
already has 81 victories.
The feat of the Griffs in getting even
this close Is something of a triumph
for hustle. Harris has no 20-game
pitcher and he isn't likely to have
one at the end Of next week. The
fattest batting average on the team
is owned by Johnny Stone and it
isn't $3.50. Still the Mats are up in
the race for second-place dough. Page
