They Tan into plenty of trouble here in June, the White Sox licking them in three of five tussles. ‘With the Yankees threatening their hold on second place the Nationals must show some improvement over their sec- ond swing around this sector if they would remain well up in the money. ‘That's why Johnson hopes for some- thing like & clean-up this time.
