Both men naturally are pleased to break into the lineup, even though they are half-portion regulars. Fach <aems to be contident that he will show enough at bat and in the field to make unnecessary the employment of the other two. Jeanes, a right-hand hitter, is thought to he a trifle weak against right-hand pitching, although quite effective against southpaws. But Tex insists that he ecan slam the right- handers as well as the left-handers if allowed to remain in the game long enough to hecome set Tex allows as how he “must have hit right-handers pienty” to complile the batting average he made with Rirmingham of the Southern Associa. tion last season hefore joining the Na tionals.

Recently Tobin has indicated that he is in superb physical trim and at hat has been more forceful than early in the campaign.
