Cellar Series

A championship" Of most dubious
distinction Is at stake at Grif1ith Sta
dunn this week end as the Washington
Senator'S and Baltimore Orioles play out
their cellar series" Having won last
nights two games, the Senators still
must sweep the remaining three to escape
at least a tie for eighth place in the
American League Since the Orioles hold
an II to 8 edge over the local club
during the season, the betting does not
favor Washington sweep now.
Thus, 1t is bleak prospect at the
end Of generally bleak season for the
local club, and the lowest home attend
ance since 1941 reflects the fans lack
Of interest. Charley Dresser came here
last winter with two-year contract as
manager, but with little knowledge Of
the skills of his players or the sources Of
new talent. He has had an unhappy OPP
portunity to learn about both subjects,
and he will be anxious to do some trading
during the off-season. The club owner
ship should be equally anxious-and will
ing to spend some money. Some of the
Washington veterans still have trading
value and the best hope for improving
the team lies in signing up some promis-
ing youngsters from teams with more
productive farm systems. The Nations
Capital has proved itself good baseball
town, year in and year out, and the fans
deserve . better run for their money
than they have been getting.
