BY FRANCIS f. STAN,

n YEW YORK. July 9-Their little
n vacation from the base ball
" wars ended, the Nationals to-
4 day undertake the trying task
Of trying to stop the pell-mell rush of
the all-Star game champions of 1887
alias the Yankees.
No other club in the league has sue
ceeded in similar endeavorS in the last
two seasons, but the Griffs are pro-
ceeding on the theory that anything
can happen in base ball. Like truly
great championship club, the Yanks
sweep all rivals aside Last year onlv
one team succeeded in breaking even,
and that was Washington. which per-
haps accounts for any current op-
tlmlSm.
Without airing any positive views,
Manager Bucky Harris seems to have
given up on big Fred Sington as a
regular outfielder within the last 4S
hours. Today, and in the future, ac
cording to Harris, he plans to play
Jesse Hill in center field and move
Mel Almada to right. This set-up is
slated to last until Al Simmons recov-
ers from his hand injury and is able
to take his place in the lineup.

Depend Too Much on HurIerS.

IRON the raft of reasons thus
expounded, these arguments stood
out:
l. That the National League seems
to have placed too much emphasis on
the supposed unbreakable defense of
It's big three pitchers. and not enough
on mass run production.
2. That an base wallop de-
llvered with men on the bags such as
those thumps by Lou Gehrig and Red
Rolte Wednesday, still is the best in
surance against whipping.
3, That the individual performances
OF the Yankees and Cubs in the Mid
summer classics. together with their
recent league doings, makes it appear.
at this writing, that a New York
Chicago world series is more than a
pipe dream.
