This is not disturbing Johnson, however. He be- lieves firmly in the value of the hit-| and-run_system and, though he does | not disdain the bunted sacrifice, he| contends the Nationals are apt to get much more from the offensive they have been employing since the start of | campaigning. | “Results speak for themselves,” says | Walter. “We adopted the hit-and-run | at the outset and have done pretty well with it. I know we have resorted to the bunt infrequently, but when we have | ;] used it we haven't gained much.

Section a_n three-handed sames have a ringer the one ha to the stake pire, was hit by a batted ball during at. “All pitchers are tough for me, buf when I get up in the morning feeling lucky, none of them is tough enough. Why. a batter can go four days and hit ‘em just as hard s any other day with out ‘getting & hit. Then he'll do the same thing the next day and have a harvest.” With that off his chest, Rice strolled up for his turn at bat against the White Sox, swung three times and missed. “Now there you are,” hfi Ahoubt:ltl! wzh'h s grin. “I struck at those s the D T same as ever, but I wasn't lucky.” y. & sville, 1 Few base ball players or managers A’ Indianavolis, postponed | wji] agree with the Washington veteran who is carrying on in Washington's sur prising fight for the American League flag, and among them is Walter John= son, manager of the Senators. “If Sam has any luck it is because he is lucky enough to realize that clean living pays big dividends.” Walter said. “He is playing the best ball of his base ball life, now when he is supposed to curl up and retire. He is leading in hitting and is a dangerous base stealer and one of the best outfielders I ever saw. Sam is one of base ball's model players.” If it hadn't been for a “join the Navy” sign, Rice may never have been known in the majors. Back in 1910 he decided to leave the farm in Indiana and try his fortunes. He drifted into Galesburg, Ill, and asked for a try-out as pitcher with the home town club. He pitched and lost one game and was re- leased. Sam went to Louisville, saw the “join the Navy” sign and joined as a fireman. After helping the Marines out in a siege of Vera Cruz he got a furlough and went to Petersburg, Va. He watched the Petersburg club play ball, thought he was good enough to play and asked for a job. He made good until one day he started waving “goodby” to the team’s manager. “Goodby? What do you mean?” the puzzled manager asked. “Oh, I was just on a furlough from fl;l‘eedNnvy and am going back,” Rice re- plied. The manager bought his release and tswo &enn ‘lvalt&r Sam was sold to the enators, whom he has been starring ever since. RESULTS IN MINORS. INTERNATIONAL LEAGUE. Toronto, 3-2; Rochester, 0-1. B e.
