4 SPORTS. Manager Harris Again Shakes Up the Nationals in an Effort to Bolster the Team BIG LEAGUE STATISTICS PECK GOES TO SHORTSTOP; McNEELY TO CENTER FIELD Earl Expected to Strengthen Griffs Defensively, While Myer Is Deemed to Have Failed During Infield Trial—Yankees Win Again. BY JOHN B. KELLER. EW YORK. May 1.—Breaking into a big league line-up is a tough racket for a youngster. These days the recruit must produce A quickly or sit back and watch the veteran perform. So Buddy Myer, who came to the Nationals last year from New Orleans, having failed to produce in a manner satisfactory to Manager Bucky Harris in a frial lasting through the first 17 games of the championship season, was to give up his shortstopping job today to Roger Peckinpaugh, the old- timer who filled it so acceptably for the Nationals hefore Buddy appeared on the scene The revision of the National line-up today that shifted Sam Rice to right field—a position Johnny Tohin took from Joe Harris for a day and restored Earl McNeely to his old job in center—was intended mainly to strengthen the garden defense that has heen none too good since the out- set of the campaign.

After making seven hits in a row, two of them doubles and one a triple. Ossie Rluege had his streak broken when he stepped to the plate the first time yesterday. He popped to Tony Lazzeri. Twe drives by Nationals in this series have sailed into the left field stand as fair balls, only to swerve to foul territory before the umpire lost sight of them. Ruel hit one Thursday, and yesterday, after poling such a drive :n the first inning. Bueky Harris fanned. Bluege got a great hand from the erowd in the second session when he jumped hack of the third sack to grab Lazzeri's low liner.
