Features and Classified PAGE D-—1 Pennant Bee Buzzing Loudly in West : Intersectional Play May Shake Up Races SECTOR SEES HELP IN EAST'S BALANCE Figures. 1t Will Profit as Seaboard Clubs Check One Another. BY JOHN B. KELLER. OR the first time in years— since 1920, in fact—there’s a pennant bee buzzing loud- ly in the Western sector of the American League. Fans out that way are “all het up.” They are pulling for their part of the circuit to produce a champion, something it has not done since the Indians blazed to a flag a dec- ade ago, and, according to report, they have so encouraged the ‘Western clubs that the latter have ideas of getting somewhere in the Barnard loop race. Since the Indians triumphed in 1920, the West has been decidedly out of the American League running. ~The Yanks virtually romped to titles in 1921-22-23 and when the Nationals triumphed in 1924 and 1925 only the East gave them battle. The Yanks fought to a finish with the Washington club the first year the flag came here and the next year the Athletics gave battle down to the last month of the campaign. Then the Yanks won three more in a row with the A’s pressing them and it was the ‘Yanks who fought the A’s last year. No wonder the West is looking for an out. ‘While Western clubs this season—two or three of them at least—regard them- selves sturdy enough to do most of their own battling in this hunt for a flag they feel that with the East better balanced in strength than it has been for some time there’s a grand chcnce for one of them to cop the prized buating. They are looking for a dog-eat-dog proposition in the East, what with the Nationals and Red Sox up and at the hitherto powerful A's and Yanks thereby giving some Western club a sweet opportunity to step in and seize the bacon. Heretofore in the years of Eastern domination, some one Eastern club al- ways has been strong enough to give the rivals of its sector a sound thrashing then play just fast enough against the West to carry on comfortably to the championship. ‘As the season has start- ed, though, it does not seem likely any one club will walk roughshod over the others of this section. Now with the West on edge and full of confidence these next two weeks should be rousing ones for, base ball along the Atlanti¢ seabaord. Browns, Indians, White Sox and Tigers will be running over with fight, very likely, all along the line and as the Nationals have flashed such surprising strength since the start of the campaign they’ll be made special targets by the clubs of the far sector, Tast year the Westerners put forth Shicu utmost against the A's and Yanks, WKO\I:II':’HS :he Nlfl&nfls l.ndu Red Sox not annoy them greatly anyway. It'l] be different this t\me though. These :x;xt'.hc:g‘ :&eekahm (“gllmth s'.l:dmm will lonals wi their hands. i e HARLEY BOSS, first sacker farmed by the Nationals to Chattanooga, is in Wasl again to have an injured knee treated and the treat- ment may compel him to remain here some time. Boss sustained the knee in- Jury early in the Lookouts’ training sea- #on, and according to reports, considered it so slight at t.he time he neglected it. Later it caused him serious trouble and he was unable to do any playing for the Chattanooga club. When ordered to re- turn to Washington for treatment Boss seemed in no hurry and his delay in fixtnt.ms here may not be so helpful to later in a financial way. Boss first e up to the Na- fio;;l.s féom n“tttl;“ Rock he was ral a fine ing prospect, but that he is not held in s\lc!h phigh Te- gard by the Washington officials now Connie Mack Knows How to Ride ’Em BY AL DEMAREE, (Former Pitcher New York Giants). Connie Mack, the grand old man is indicated in their order to Joe Engel, ‘who scouts for the Nationals when he is not presidenting for the Chattanooga club, to comb the minors for a promis- ing initial sack guardian. Manager Jol n, it seems, wants a good under- study w the veteran Joe Judge at hand instead of with some minor farm, how- ever, which may mean that young Boss, should his knee get well before Engel lands some talent, will stick around the Nationals instead of immediately re- turning to the Lookouts. President Griffith has until June 15 to reduce his club to 25 players, but unless some others are picked up before that time he will have to check out but two to keep in line with the major league agreement. Including Boss and Herbert Pyle, pitcher now working out with Chattanooga, there are but 27 players on the Nationals’ roster. How a club's personnel changes be- tween the close of a season and when the next season is little more than two weeks old. Between the end of last September and today there have 41 players with the Washington club. Eight were released outright and six now are out under option. Some do not stick very long in the big show. | HOW THEY STAND I AMERICAN LEAGUE. Standing of the Teams. L. Philadelphia. St. Louls Boston Detroit New York . YESTERDAY'S RESULTS.

ATTERIES: For Interstate, Hair and Mudd.” This may sound a little queer, but Hair and Mudd make a good combination—that is, as far as base ball is concerned. To the Union Printers they were poison. Halir, his first name is Reese, pulled one of those “believe it or not” acts in the Government League game against the Typos yesterday, when he proved that & man can be both stingy and generous He was stingy because he al- wed the Printers but four hits, and he wn generous because he was as wild as a March hare, six free passes, making a trio of wild pitches that ac- counted for all three of the Printers’ runs and hitting one of the Typos with the ball. Pitching isn’t Reese’s only accomplish- ment. Hair also waves a mean bat. When he singled in the fourth inning wlth the bases loaded, two runners unted, and when Dewhurst, Typo l‘ight felder, threw the ball poorly the fourth and winning run was scored. It was the Printers’ second straight defeat in the Government League. Manager Wesley McDonald, Who pitched Interstate’s first game against the Government Printing Office and lost, played a nice game from the coacher’s box. He handed the fans a lot of laughs. Pitcher Hair’s trlumph over the Print- ers marked the first win of the Gov- ernment League for a right-handed itcher.
