THE BASEBALL
BEA T
By BURTON HAWKINS

Clark Grifhth. Calvin Grifnth
and Chuck Dresser, who steer
the Senators, met yesterday al
the bali park and decided to put
their feelings in writing. They
parted on the theme that each
would put his ideas on paper
compare notes, and perhaps
come up with the solution tt
Where do we 60 from here?"
When Dresser headed for
spring training last February
he UNDERSTANDABLE was reluctant
to trade. He had heard. from
those too closely associated with
the team. that possibilities exist
ed in the player crop he was In
heriting. But Chuck now has
appraised his talent over q full
gruesome season. Chances are
his scribbling will contain ferveni
pleas to unload many of his per-
formers.
There was no need to disturb
Clark Grifhth. battling a severe
case Of neuritiS. The elder Grit
nth expressed his sentiments
somewhat strongly in May when
he said, II don't quit easily on q
team. But If this club doesn't
win by July I'll be all In favor
Of tearing the whole damned
thing apart"
Calvin never has been hesitant
about making deal and indi-
Gates he hasn't changed his atti-
tude, We've reached the point
where we've got to do some

TO say I've been disappointed
this season is putting 1t mildly, j."
Calvin continued. when we
opened the season our hitters
weren't hitting. our pitchers had
no control and our infield was
scattery. Things haven't gotten
any better. ! don't blame any Of
it on Dresser. He's a solid base
ball man and there's nobody who
works harder at his job"
The Senators probably viii
fail to draw 100000 customers
this season. There has been q
steady and alarming attendance
dip here since the club hit its
million-plus peak in 1916. The
team has finished in the second

and indifference to its actiy-
ities Is evident.
