\ "MALL ARM IS ASSEMBLED FOR 1927 Manager Harris to Have Fourteen Flingers Classified as “New”” to Pick From, With Johnson, Covey and Ruether as Veteran Nucleus. BY DENMAN THOMPS! Sports Editor. The Star. RANTING that poor pitching was responsible for Washington's slump this year from the lofty cstate of champions in 1924-25 to a pont where the club is'striving to avoid relegation to the sec- ond division, prospects for climbing up the American League pen- nant ladder next season may be considered bright if the replacement ma- terial obtained proves anywhere near as strong in an artistic sense as it is numerically. . With Walter Johnson, Dutch Ructher and Stan Coveleskie forming the veteran nucleus of next year's staff, the Nationals have an additional total of 14 flingers from which to find the young blood necessary to round out a balanced staff of capable flingers, apd if only a fraction of them make zood Bucky Harris & Co. will be sitting pretty when the next campaign gets under way. ith is authority | pecu to gr jar delivery that is susceptible development.

Called upon three times in two days to bolster up Cardinals hopes, the “Old Reliable” climaxed his three-day grind yesterday with a one-hit record in two and two-thirds innings to help set the Boston Braves down with a 4-to-3 defeat in 11 innings Yor the sec- ond time in a three-.game series. Alexander finished both games in Tuesday's doubleheader with the Braves, and yesterday was called upon to check their assault with run- ners on first and third in the ninth. He did, was credited with the victory and was responsible for the Cardinal’s lead of four full points.

CAREY DEFEATS PIRATES T HE National League kaleidoscope today found the St. Louis ting revenge for Tuesday, when the Braves knocked the Cardinal By the Associated Press. Cardinals topping the list by a half-game margin over Pittsburgh. St. Louis beat the Braves, 4 to 3, vesterday in 11 innings, get- from a brief one-point hold on the league leadership to a second place tie with Cincinnati. Brooklyn smote Pittsburgh yes- terday, 2 to 1, while the New York Giants, whose supporters were be- ginning to fear that they never would win again, confined the win- mn? streak of the Cincinnati Reds to 10 games. The score was also 2to1 1f there is misery in the Pirate camp today it can be laid mostly at the door of Max Carey, exiled cap- tain of the Buccaneer craft, whose fleet legs brought victory to Brook- Iyn. He beat out an infield hit with the bases full that gave Brooklyn the deciding_run. All the Cincinnati Reds gained from the jugg ing act was undisputed r}sscssion of third place. With Hugh McQuillan pitching superbly, Carl Mays was forced to, take his first defeat in his last six starts. The Chicago Cubs took another punch at the Phillies, making their third straight conquest of the series. A brace of errors behind Carlson had much to do with the 3-to-2 Chi- cago win. Rain soused the American League, but not until George Uhle of the Cleveland Indians had plastered the New York Yankees with a 6-to-0 coat of whitewash. The game mark- ed Uhle's 21st win of the sew.son, and his fifth in a row over the league leaders. The second game of a scheduled double-header was rained out, as were the St. Louis-Washing- ton and Chicago-Philadelphia con- tests. The Detroit Tygers ran wild around Fenway Park, as eight Boston pitch- ers proved all alike. The Tygers took a double-header, 11 to 4, and 7 to 6, and made 30 hits.

BASE BALL SECRETS By Sol Metzger, Stance for Bunt. 00 THiS ¥ NoT THIS L4 When a al attempts a bunt he sheuld be certain to step well in front of the plate when meet- ing the ball, as the player on the left in the illustration is doing. That enables him 'to draw many a bunt down a baseline in fair ter- ritory, whereas, if he stands be- hind the plate, like the player on the right, the same bunt would roll foul and count as a strike against him. Here's a little tip that will help any ball player in bunting correctly. . Nationals® Pitching Staff Next Season to Be Strongest Yet, Is Belief of Griff PIRATES MAY LOSE FLAG BECAUSE OF TWIN BILLS BY JOHN B. FOSTER. sburgh Pirates. A team that in trying to win a pennant and can’t get better than an even break out of double-headers shows NE\’V YORK. August 26.—Double-headers have been the bane of the i a deplorable lack of pitching strength. The Pirates, reposing in second place today, might do some figuring on their slates and discover the possibility that double-headers may put them out of the pennant race between those dragon monsters which have arrived and those which are to come. Look at_the August campaign, just ending. Note the particular goofy double-headors that soaked Pitts- burgh on :he sullen cranium in this month, and that, too, when the team needed to win if it ever did. Twin Bill Proves Costly. August 4 there was a double-header at Boston. First game, Boston 14, Pittsburgh 0: second game, Pitts- burgh 5, Boston 2. August 17, double-header at Boston: First game, Boston 2, Pittsburgh 0. - It was after this game that Fred Clarke, within' the hearing of Bigbee. suggested to Bill McKechnie that it would be advisable to replace Carey in center fleld. The score of the sec- ond_game was Boston 2, Pittsburgh 0. Three defeats in four games is the record of that brace of double-headers. On August 18 the Pirates were at home and played a double-header against Roston again. First game, Pittsburgh 4, Boston 1; second game, Boston 4, Pittsburgh 3. Same old break and a bad one for the cham- plons. On August 19 there was a double-header in Philadelphia. First game, Philadelphia 3, Pittsburgh 1 in 10 innings; second game, Pitts- burgh 4, Fhiladelphia 0, breaking even again. On August 21 another double-header at Pittsbrigh with the Phillles. First game, Pittsburgh 4, Philadelphia 0; second game, Plttsburgh 8, Philadel- phia 5. There the Pirates saved them- selves for once, although they didn't begin to recover the ground they lost playing double-headers. On August 23 Brooklyn played the Pirates in a double-header at Pitts- burgh. First game, Brooklyn 7 Pittsburgh _3; second game, Pitts- burgh. 10, Brooklyn 2. On this oc- casion the champions made their record for double-headers in August, that of fifty-fifty,” with six games won and six games lost. That means a percentage of .500, and any kid in base ball will tell you that .500 is equivalent to standing on the top rail of a fence, with a mad bull on_one side and his pal on the other. It doesn't win any pen- nants for any old team, and it is especially bad for a team that is try- ing to win a pennant for the second year in succession handicapped by a lack of good pitchers at the be- ginning of the season. Opposition Not Strong. Another feature of the Pirates’ lack of success in double-headers in August is that they have played all of them with teams in the second division, and while four of the games were plaved away from home, the others were plaved on the Pittsburgh field. In July the Pirates did the sort of thing when they lost one game of a double-header in Brooklyn. It is impolitic to schedule double-headers unless a team is possessed of a strong pitching staff. The Giants once got nipped doing that sort of thing, and it kicked them vigorously toward los. ing a pennant. As against the Pirates’ record. note what the Cincinnati Reds did in Au- gust to help them out of the rut into which they had slipped in New York. same ! The Reds played four extra-inning games in succession against Boston and New York won three of them and tied one. The double-header bogey man fs apt to scotch the Pirates if the thing keeps on in September. The Pirates can't come back strong enough with two pitchers in one day, and have enough pitchers to help them in the odd games. Hence, the surplus games which they have to play, as compared with the total of St. Louis and Cincinnati, are doing them more harm than good. UPSET IN PACING RACE. CLEVELAND, August 26 @). - Attoo, the Canadian-owned pacer, iriven by Al (Humpy) Morrison, won the Forest City 2:09 pace at the North Randall Grand Circuit races today, defeating Myrtle Baxter, odds on favorite.
