~ ONLY 13 OF TAMPA SQUAD SPORTS. Nationals’ Roster Is Changing Rapidly : Jennings May Be Made Pilot of OF 27 REMAIN WITH CLUB O’Neill Last Sent to Minors—New Men Idle While Makeshift Team Prospers—Dramatic Finish Marks 6 to 5 Victory Over Indians. BY JOHN B. KELLER. OW the complexion of the Nationals’ roster has changed since Donie Bush piloted his erew of hopefuls from the sands of Tampa to the Georgia avenue ball yard early last April! Then the squad included twenty-seven players in addition to the manager and a pair of coaches. Of that lot but fifteen now are drawing pay from President Clark Grifith. Remaining with the pigmy pilot are one. coach and thirteen players of the original aggregation, Jimmy O'Neill's transfer to the New Haven club, consummated yesterday, sending from the Nationals the fourteenth of the active diamond athletes who were here at the opening of the American League campaign. : But Griffith, who relieves his manager of the arduous duty of drafting material for the Nationals, has kept the ranks filled with recruits and is seeking more. Few of these youngsters, however, are likely to break into the line-up in the near future. The Bushmen. despite the absence of a couple of regulars, are progressing so favorably that their leader hesi- tates to alter a winning combination. l FOUR IN A RO l i s boosted to eight the victory record for the last nine games—a truly en- viable mark. They achieved this latest win in dramatic manner, too. Grab ¢ By beating the Indians 6 to 5 vesterday in the first of a series of four games, Donie Bush's outfit| ‘ CLEVELAND. . R. B .
