CASUALS AGAIN FT FOR SERES W HUB Spencer 'Due Boost in Bat- ting Order—Harris Aids in Third Win Over Yanks. BY DENMAN THOMPSON, Sports Editor, The Star. OSTON, northernmost port of call in the American League and a marrow-chill- ing spot in the Spring, to- day will be the scene of the Na- ing what they have accomplished under conditions prevailing in the Capital for the past four days, they should further improve their position in the pennant race as| the result of a trio of battels with the Red Sox, the first of which is scheduled for this afternoon, with General Alvin Crowded billed for mound duty. There is no assurance there will be| any battling at the Hub, for the Cham- | pion A's have been frozen out every | w afternoon beginning last Sunday, but if | the Boston management will consent to | stage the games W. Johnson's Eskimo | jud marathoners will be right in their ele- ment among the frigid breezes that sweep Fenway Park, especially if the contests last about twice as long as an average tilt. Fi Their qualifications for pastiming at| &, great length under semi-arctic condi- tions were conclusively demonstrated by | the Griffmen in the quartet of jousts | with the Yankee here which ended yes- | terday with a third victory by a 9 to 5 | F3\; count and boosted them into undisputed possession of second place, a game and a half back of Cleveland’s fast-traveling Indians.

In the initial setto on the Sabbath | which resulted in a Washington win by 9 to 17, seven hurlers were used over a period of two hours end thirty-two min- | utes the eight and a half innings con- | sumed. . Monday, when the Nationals copped, 9 to 8, in:twelve rounds, seven slingers again saw service in the three hours and nineteen minutes of tilting. Tuesday, which brought & 7-all dead- lock for fourteen frames five mounds- men performed in the course of three hours and forty-six minutes, while yes- terday’s affair brought forth another quintet of boxmen. with eight and one- half innings reeled off in a snappy two hours and twenty-nine minutes. ESP] minor -ailments which ca a ‘revision of the line-up in of the last two games here, Johnson's outfit set sail for the Hub last night in.good physical trim with every member of the ensemble able to function should occasion require. Sam Rice, who pulled up with a lame back following the Monday fracas due to an accidental nudging of the right field fence, reported he was ready to carry on, while Sam West, who made nis season’s debut as a flychaser in such sensational style in Tuesday's tilt, claimed his slightly twisted left ankle again was ready for heavy duty. It is likely, however, in view of the effective manner in which Dave Harris pum- meled the pill yesterday and the steady pace Harry Rice has been maintaining that the latest outfielding trio may be| continued in action for another couple days, at least. orstan;n: a geme for the firct time this year vesterday Harrls, with a lusty | double and a ringing single drove in two | runs and paved the way for a third,| while adequately taking care of the| chores in right field. If one of the two Sams is restored to action shortly it probably ‘will be West, for Rice has been hitting far below his usual pace thus far this season. CHANGE that Pilot Johnson might make with good effect, for a time at least, would be the lifting of Manush who is having as much trouble as Sam Rice in getting his batting sights adjusted. Assigning Harry Rice to left, with West in center and Harris in right would considerably bolster the | attack of the club until such time as| the veteran pasturemen regain their| thumping touch. | Gehrig, Yankees, 15.
