by Western on Saturday. Cadet sup
pOrters still were trying to realize to-
day that their favorites scored only
two field goals against Western and
that the 26-9 score is not some kind
of a nightmare
BY the demonstration, Western
established a double claim to great
ness. No team scored 30 points on
St Johns all year. but Western twice
came close TO doing 1t, trimming the
Johnnies in an earlier game, 1926.
Further, the Vermont avenue clan
had piled up some kind of a scoring
record throughout the season, but the
9 points they scored Saturday are note
worthy only for the illustration OF
Westerns defensive strength.

light of their two successive
Grapefruit League" victories,
1t begins to look as if the
Nationals are going to do some of those
big things Bucky Harris has been
predicting.
For one item, Bucky predicted as
hard a hitting club as any in the
American League. For one afternoon
last week the Giants, with their
pitchers in the advanced stages,
showed the prophecy down Harris
throat by shutting the Washingtons
out, 60.
Now it seems that Skipper Harris
knew what he was talking about.
Over at Daytona on Saturday the
GriffS pounded Paul Dean and three
other Cardinal hurlers for II hits and
won an 8-to-4 decision. Yesterday,
with a l9-hlt attack, they shelled
three Philly pitchers and won by a
lopsided l5-to-7 score.
Twenty-three runs and 81 hits in
two games, Even with the Red Sox
ready and eager to whip him today.

Joe Cascarella is another. There

helped to verify it against the Cards
that he will wind up as one of the
best pitchers on the club. And Joe
was shipped to the bushes by the Ath-

finally traded to Washington for Jack
Russell, a washed-up relief hurler.

Stage Two Big Innings.

MAKE no mistake, the Phillles are
not high-class competition. In
deed, the consensus among the Mats
was that Jimmy Wilson has one of
the Worst-looking major league outfits
they've ever seen. And they don't
intend to rub anything in.
Bobby Burke, who worked for the
Washington firm for years, started for
the Phillies and lasted two innings.
When he departed the score was 40,
Washington getting all its runs in
the first inning.
Claude PaSseau, the ace of the staff,
was next. He did alright until the
sixth inning, when the Griffs batted
around, scored nine runs and iced the
affair. In this hectic inning Jack
SalveSon. who relieved NeWsom. belted
a terrific home run with the bases
loaded and made good his reputation
as hitter Of note. A few minutes
later Buddy Lewis also cooked homer
inside the park.
Buddy Myer Looks Good.
NEWSOM had his ups and downs,
but he was in little trouble. Dur
ing his fve-inning term he gave up
five hits and two runs Salveson, too,
had the situation we'll in hand until
he belted his home run. Jack gave all
he had, running the circuit, and was
q tired young man at the finish of the
run. The distance seemed a furlong
too much He probably needs racing
1t was this WEAKNESS which prob
ably enabled the Phillies to rise and
score four runs in the eighth 1t was
in the bag by that time, of course, and
mattered little
Far from discouraging was the debut
of Buddy Myer at second base. Buddy
opened at second base, handled four
chances perfectly and singled and
