But the Goose remained n the fray onlv long enough to clout his seventh homer of the season in his first turn at bat. Then West took the Goose's place in the line-up and was to be there again today. Fortunatelv for them. the Nationals hare no big lot of double-headers ahead. But three postponements are on the play-off list. One is with the Indians in Washington next month. another th the Yankees in New York during the club's last trip of the year to that city and the third with the Red Sox at home next month. A schedule any heavier than that ahead of them would make the Nationals’ present roster of plavers dangerously slim. Haves went to the Minneapolis Club subject to recall upon 24 hours notice.

On the first day of the season, Sim- mons, because of injury, was unable to play. Perhaps if Simmons had been LIEUT. D. D. HEDEKI well he would have played left fleld. As it was the choice fell upon Miller and Dykes on the opening day, and without any doubt the best infielder of that day was Boley. He played splen- didly. He has not been a hard batter this season. In fact, he has been a little short of awful some times. His total percentage in 1927 was .311. He is now batting about .250. The infield is not the same now. It m?‘ not be changed again for the remain tinuing first baseman, but he surely has convinced folks that he can play first buse In a pinch. Only a little while ago Foxx at third base would have seemed incredible. He's there and apt to stick there. Speaker has disappeared out of center fleld, Haas plays that position.
