 New York, Jan. 1O-tUP)-The Washington Senators finished last season in seventh place with their lowest percentage in 21 years. So anything that happens to them in 1941 is likely to be an improvement.
 The senators are defnitley doomed to second division and may have quite a job on their hands pulling out of the mire of seventh place. Most of the new material coming up is minor leaguish. Several trades were made but they do not promise tremendous results
 On the whole the Senators will go just about as far as Dutch Leonard, Ken Chase and Sid Hudson will take them. Last season that trio of pitch CTS won 46 games. The rest of the Washington staff won only 18 more. Leonard, Chase and Hudson are good enough to win for any club. In fact the Tanks and the Red Sox have had their eyes on one or all of the Washington Stars and certain cir cumstances might force Clark Grif- filth, the old fox of the capital, to part with one of them.
 Not Much Help
 The Senators have 9 newcomers on their roster of 39, but few are likely to help the club. Most are half baked rockies from Charlotte, Greenville, Springfield, Thomasville and other questionable proving grounds. Major league trades brought two outfieIders, Ben Chap man and Doc Cramer, and Pitcher Danny MacFayden, cut adrift by Pittsburgh, to the Senators. Out fielder Gerald Walker and Pitchers Joe Krakauskas and Joe Haynes have gone away.
 Manager Bucky Harris is planning to play Cramer in center, Chapman in left and move Speedster George Case from Center to right. They won't be the leagues worst outf1eld but they won't be the best, either. John Welaj ard the vet Sam West, are due to handle the utility roles.
 Perhaps Washington's best addi- ton is First BaSeman George Archie, who hit .322 for Seattle and was picked as the coast leagues most valuable player over Lou Novikof, the Cubs prize rookie. First base has been a nightmare to the Sena- tors since Joe Kuhel went to the White Sox in the ill-advised zeke Bonura deal. With Archie on first, the rest of the inf1eld will be Jim Bloodworth at second, Cecil Travis at short and Buddy Lewis at third
 Bloodworth isn't major league second baseman but he's the best the Senators have except 37-year-old Buddy Myer, who can't play much at stretch. Travis, who played third last year and did bang up Job' will go back to short because of the dis appointing play of Jimmy PofahI, who came up last season hailed as a coming star. Buddy Lewis, who failed in his shift to outfield, will take over thrid again. The fact that Harris plans to bat Lewis ia the cleanup spot is the tipoff to the Senators lack of power.
 Three Good Pitchers
 Although there are 16 pitchers on the Washington roster. when you get beyond Leonard, Chase and Hudson there isn't much to talk about. Wal ter Masterson, who won three and lost 13, last season, is expected to develop into a starter with added weight. Danny MacFayden is expect ed to pitch about once a week la Freddy Fitzsimmons. Alex Arrasquei and Rene Monteagudo will do the relief chores with occasion starts The two best rockies are perehaps Arnold Anderson, who won 12 and los t13 for Springfield, Mass, and Alex Zukowski, who won 2 and lost 1 2for Greenville, s. c. Jim Dean' who came up with Hudson last sea- son but failed to make the grade, may develop if he can curb his wild ness. The rest are just along for the ride.
 Jake Early and Al Evans. both with the club last season, will share the catching, with Rick Terrell catching Dutch Leonard's tricky kunckle ball unless the Browns swing a deal for him.
 TOMORROW Chicago White
