PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 21.-
This is the time Of year when
officials of the Washington Base
ball Club search diligently for
figures to support a "wait-until-
next-year" theme. They point
out, about this time each season,
that if the Senators had won
only half the games they lost by
one run, if Joe Blotto had hit
the first five months like he has
in the last 10 days. if Johnny
Limpnoodle had developed that
terrific curve a bit earlier, we'll
things would have been different.
Refusing to cooperate along
that line is young Tom UNI
phlett, the boy with the Lin
coln-like face and a typical
Washington batting average Of
.237. Tom has batted ia in
his last IL games, has been shar-
ing right field with Tom Wright
and Clyde Vollmer and offers
the Senators little upon which
to build hope for the future.
Meanwhile, the Senators have
been rained out of today's double
header with the Athletics. To-
days two, games were called off
shortly after noon. Last nights
game also was rained out. Steps
are being taken to schedule an
other twin bill Monday after
tomorrow's uble-header.
Have No Replacement.
The Senators haven't aban-
doned hope, for Implicit, of
course, because they can't af-
ford that luxury. They haven't
enough requirements coming
along to shunt Tom aside and
say, That's all, boy, you've had
it." Vollmer or Wright present
no solution.
Umphlett's fielding is superb,
his throwing is strong and &C
curate and he can run. II he
could hit. the Senators would
love him. His .283 hitting of last
season prompted Washington to
part with Outfielder Jackie
Jensen for Pitcher Maury Nc
Dermott and Implicit. but the
Red Sox seem to have come out
well ahead on that transaction.
It was reasonable to antici-
pate Implicit would improve
after doing so well as q rookie.
but it appears the leagues
pitchers have shot him full Of
holes. If he can bounce back,
remedy his batting weaknesses
and resemble the hitter he was
last season the Senators have q
regular job for him.
Best Bet for Job.
Regardless of his batting de-
f1ciencies, Implicit still repre-
sents Washington's best bet for
q right field job next season.
Carlos Paula and Jim Lemon
have compiled respectable aver
ages in Sally League company,
but it has been demonstrated
that it's a long haul from the
Sally League to the majors.
There's some doubt, too, that
either Paula or Lemon would bat
