Manager Harris now is sure his wound will be thoroughly healed be- fore October 7, when the struggle with the Pirates will start, but hurts such as his are tric The new tissue that closes such a wound as that sus- tained by the National pilot is apt to leave the finger quite sensitive for some while. so it will'be well for the American Leazue champions to have in readiness a capable understudy for the regular second sacker \dams Clever Afield. Fielding around t} the Oakland draftee has been particu larly good at all times since joining the Nationals. He is fast, can get after a drive to either side in splendid style, goes back to the outfield for neai ‘exas Leaguers in clever man ner and has a snappy whip. Re cently Adams has been diagnosing attack with remarkable accuracy. THe has been placing himself for batters well enough to cut off a number of drives that seemed ticketed hits when they left the bat. Adams' batting figures as a Na- tional are not so impressive. He has made 7 hits in 26 times at bat for a rating of .269. But these figures do not reveal the substitute’s real value offensively. In batting drills the portside swinger hits a hard ball and he has banged vigorously in competi tion, too. Most of Adams’ fruitless efforts at the plate were spread through the first four months of the | season. Since he has been getting into the line-up more frequently he has shown considerable strength with the mace. Spence was to 2o to the middle sta- tion today in the two games slated to be plaved with the Indians, and more than likely will take care of that job most of the time in the eleven games remaininz on the Champs’ schedule. Stuffy Stewart, second base man bought from Birmingham, will not be overlooked altogether, but Adams will get the real pointing for emergency use in the world series. Finish With Tribe Today. Today's encounters were to be the last this yvear with the Indfans, who have been vanquished in all but 4 of their 20 starts against the Nationals.

Like college foot ball teams, major league champions often send a scout to games played by a club to be met in the world seri erett Scott has been assigi tesk and will o to Pittsburgh within a day or two. The principal task of such a scout is to observe the mannerisms in action of the team Baiting tendencies and of the players and style of attack do mot have to be looked for by the scout Will Observe Bue Hurlers. No player is in base ball any great time before his batting idiosyncracies are known to all other players in hoth big leagues, and newspaper re- ports of games give all the charac teristics of offensive play that a po- tential world series opponent would care to learn. But it is helpful to know the style of pitching employved b opposing hurlers. A manager wants to know how clever a_hurler may be in hol ing men to bases, how deceiving his pitchits motion. These traits are better learned from observation than from hearsay. And that is w Scott is expected to discover during his sojourn in the Smoky City before the big games get under way.

Ever since then the National| League fight has annually resolved itself into a scrap between these two teams, at some time of the season or the other, although the Pittsburghs have not always been the runners- up in the final days. Three times since then the Giants have led the league in batting, al- though in 1923 the Pirates came within a fraction of their mark. Thix vear the Giants. who once were second, seem likely to drop (o a sad seventh in hitting when the final averages are compiled. Previ- ously, all through the duels with Pittsburgh, the differences were ways slight, and this tumble empha- sizes the terrific drop of the New Yorkers. The Pirates, too, have fielded bet- ter than the Giants this vear and their pitching has been equally a: good. -In fact, had the Pittsburgh had anything like the start they anticipated at_the beginning of the season they would have won the | pennant by more than 100 victories Their real strength as a_team. how ever, dated from the middle of May.
