IRMINGHAM, Ala., April 6—Reduction of the pitching staff of the Nationals to 10 members is likely to occur before the first of next month, and one of the men to be let out may be sent to a minor aggregation before the American League championship campagin starts. Wichita of the Western League is bent upon getting a left-hander to replace Jim McNamara, young slabman tentatively purchased from it by the Nationals, and who probab'y will be retained by the latter ivur a thorough trial, so J. Benson Brillheart, who has been tested by the Wash- ington club twice before this year, may soon go to the Occidental circuit. | Others whose future status as Nationals now is uncertain are Allen Russell, spitball veteran, who pitched the last two innings yesterday at Mobile when the Nationals beat the Bears, 5 to 3; Joe Martina, minor league veteran, bought from New Orleans prior to the opening of the 1924 season; Warren Ogden, procured by the waiver route from the Athletics last Spring, and Harry Kelley, youngster recruited from Memphis of the Southern Association The Nationals still have some play- ers and cash to turn over to Wichita if McNamara is retained by them, and Brillheart seems to be the only hurler available for transfer to the Western Leaguers.
