GRIFFS LOOK FORMIDABLE | WITH EX-BROWN ALIGNED Stellar Fi Sacker, Pluégm}g Most Gaping Hole in Line-up, Expected to Make Club Strong Rival of World Champion Yankees.

Moriarty Likes Griff Hurlers. No less an authority than Manager | George Moriarty of Detroit, with Philadelphia figures as the most prominent contender the Nationals will have in the battle to overthrow the Yanks, asserts that Washington has by far the strongest pitching staff | in the league. Then, with the wealth of material on hand for the as vet | sewbiful assignments—one at short- | #10b and another in the outfield—there | &sems to be plenty of justification for | the bellef that the Griffmen stand an exdenent chance of battling in the runper-up berth for the opportunity to slip to the front. In Sisler, the Nationals have snared | something the team has lacked for many years—a durable first baseman. There was a time when the Univer- sity of Michigan product was the best vestibule guardian in all base ball. In | 1922, for instance, when Sisler won | the award as the most valuable play- er to his club in the circuit, he also | led the league in batting with a mark of .420, which still stands second to the 438 that Hugh Duffey achieved with the Boston Nationals in 1894, In that same season Sisler estab- lished & run of 41 consecutive hitting games which has been topped only by Willie Keeler's 44 made ‘with the old Baltimore Orioles in 1897, and Bill Dahlen’s 42 with the Chicago Colts in 1894, N o | Sisler Started Well. Just two years prior to that biggest of all seasons for him, in 1920, Sisler also climbed above the .400 mark in | hitting by 2 margin of seven points | and also set the ‘existing record for the most hase-hits in a season, achiev- ing & total of 257 bingles for assorted distances that year. It was afier the close of the 1922 | campaign that Sisler was stricken | with the-sinus trouble that so seriou ly impaired his vision that he was compelled to loaf for an entire season and when he returned to duty in 1924 it was with the added burden of man- agerial cares and he never since has Jmown the heights that formerly were js. Sisler generally is rated as ranking | with the greatest first basemen of ali | time. Born in Manchester, Ohio, on March 24, 1893, which means that he will be 35 years old next Spring, Sis- ler first attracted attention as a south- paw pitcher with the high school team of Akron and signed his first profes- sional contract with the club repre- senting that city in the old Ohio and Pennsylvania League in 1911, al- though he never played: with it. WITH THE HERE may be something to this business of operating a bowling league under a handi- cap system, but of this Presi- dent Frank S. Harris of the North Washington Church League re mains to be convinced. “I see no rea- sor. for having handicaps in my cir- cuit, or any other,” Harris declares, “and would like to enter into a debate with some of the proponents of such a stem. Perhaps handicapping has its fine points, but I must be shown.” Harris heads 4 hustling aggregation in the North Washington loop, and perhaps competition in his organiza- tion has been so keen that this busi- ness of handicapping appears foolish | altogether in which | & During the Spr s of 1912, 13, ind 15 he performed sensationally in | the box and as a hitter with the Uni- | versity Mich n Varsity team. After being igned to, although never play with, the Columbus Club of the American Association fol- Jowing his fivst term at college, he be- | e a bone of contention in organ- | base ball in a battle between the | Pittsburgh Pirates d St Louis | Browns for his services which result- | ed in Sisler being declared ln(hg\h]l" during the 1913 and 1914 seasons when | endent ball with lhl-: ing team n 1915 he was awarded to St the vehement protest of President Dreyfus of t Pirates in a decision | rendered by the old national commis- sion and which used a diplomatic | split between Herrmann, its ch: which en- dured for Openin, Browns, § performed for cou- ple of years in thg triple capacity of pitcher, outfielder and first baseman. So impressive was his sticking ability that he was relieved of box wor 1917, dividing his time | between first base and the garden, and | with the advent of 1918 he was in- | alled at the initial corner perma- | nently. Hit 420 in 1922, { From a batting mark of .285 in| his first season with the Browns, when | his duties were multifarious, Sisler climbed with succeeding seasons, first | to .305 and then to .353. In 1918 he | dropped off a bit to .341, then came | along with a figure in 1919 and | achieved his .407 average the follow- | ing year. The season of 1921 found Sisler with | a .371 mark, only to soar to .420 the | season after. Following his enforced | idleness in 1923, Sisler bettered the 300 mark by but five points, but he climbed to .345 in 1925, and, after slumping to .289 in 1926, his final sea- son as manager of the Browns, came back last Summer with an average of Sisler, of course, no longer is the super star he once was, but his record | for 1927 discloses that he missed less than half a dozen of the 154 games on the Browns' schedule, and although | there was nothing startling in his 33 | doubles, eight triples and five home runs, it is significant that his total of 201 hits tops the number credited to Harry Heilmann, the league's bat- ting champion, and was exceeded only | by two players in the league, and that | his record of 28 stolen bases stands as the best for the year, Meusel of the Yankees, with 23, being his near- | est rival, May Cost $30,000. Although no price was announced in the Sisler sale, it can be stated authoritatively that the figure was $15.000, and it is likely that before he makes his first appearance in a Washington uniform he will repre- sent an investment of just double that sum. Sisler's contract with the Browns expired at the close of last season, when he is said to have drawn $15,000, and it may be regarded as doubtful that he will be willing to play for less. It may be that he will try to raise the ante or exact a bonus for signing, but this is a matter that Clark Griffith is confident he can handle satisfactorily. In the meanwhile he and Harris are of the opinion that with Sisler aligned the Nationals will present a far stronger front than they did last year, regardless of whether any other deals can be consumated, and there is lit- tle question but that fandom in the Capital agree with them. BOWLERS which had been settled in last place for some time, came out of that posi- tion by mauling Rules and Regula- tions in three games. The sweep lifted Personal Audit a notch and sunk its opponent in the cellar. Field Audit Review had been having a deal of trouble all season. In 12 weeks ft had counted above 1,500 but twice. Last night, however, it tackled the league leader, Miscellaneous, and socked a set of 1,610 to take two games. Milne, Field Audit Review anchor man, contributed much to his team's success with a string of 1 136 and 109 for 367. Deputy Commissioner C. B. Allen slammed the little maples for a set Louis to the bowlers i it. Right now of the 10 teams of the circuit are very much in the running for top laurels and only one of the remaining 3 teams seems hopelessly out of the chase. It kLas been mentioned to Harris | that handicapping in all sports is tra- ditional. In many instances such a system could bring about a real contest. Howeve dent Harris insists that in b s in the more serious matters life man should stand on his own, soaring to success if he possesses the ability or suffering the buffets of fate. And he is ready to mull over matter with those who favor handicap- ping. It seems there's a chance for a fine argument here Internal Revenue League bowlers had a stirring time last night on the King Pin drives.

Like most of the other American League men, Harris is bending every effort to strengthen his club and make it more of a contest than it was last season. Bucky, however, has been in too many ‘tough spots” to be stampeded by the Yankee menace. “We stopped ‘em before. 'Why can't we do it again?” seems to summarize his attitude. 1t Foster Ganzel, Southern Associa- tion recruit, measures up to the form he showed iast, season, Harris expects to have one of‘the hardest-hitting out- fields in the game. Ganzel walloped the ball around the .400 mark in his few trials, and may give Sam Rice a battle for a regular post in the outer works with Speaker and Goose Goslin. Despite thelr age and seemingly waning powers, Dutch Ruether and | Bob Shawkey, veteran twirlers, may | be badly missed by the Yankees in another campiagn, Harris thinks. “The Yankees have some comers, Harris admitted, “especially Pipgras, a real star, but they will miss Boh and Dutch.

In fact, it has been somewhat gen- erally predicted that Speaker would be handed his release anyway, on the theory that his usefulness and draw- ing powers had waned. Bucky Harris, however, not only fails to share this point of View, but ex- Dects Speaker to roam the center fleld reaches with his customary skill for the Nationals next year. Since the vouthful pilot of the Nationals has a first-hand interest in the matter, his attitude happens to be more impor- tant than that of the second gueessers. The salary issue may be a stumbling block. Harris admits this. The Na tionals most likely will ask the “Gray Eagle” to take some reduction in his pay check, in view of the circum- stances involved, but even so it would still_be financially worth while for Speaker to remain in the. Capital, par- ticularly since there appears no other opening for him just now. “Our chances of making a st'ong bid for the pennant next year will be much better with Speaker and Sisler both adding their punch to the line- up,” Harris declared today. *Both have a lot of good base ball left.” 1t is a coincidence that the unoffict American League averages show S; ler and Speaker finishing the 1927 sea- son with identical batting marks—.327 —considerably below their best years, but still good enough to put them in- side the first 12 regulars.
