ETROIT, Mich., August 26.— Several changes in person- nel are likely to be made by the Washington .Base Ball Club before next season rolls around and not because some players have not been performing in a big league way.

Campolo is 6 feet | 7 inches in height and weighs 240 | 1pound!. Schaaf is well over the 200- | pound mark anhd has, in addition, blos- | |somed out as a strcng puncher in hlsl | Tecent bouts.

His backers believe that Ernie will wear his big opponent down | before the end of 12 rpunds and possibly | put over a finishing wallop. Campolo | never has been knocked out in this| ccuntry, taking the count only at the | hands of Monte Munn in Buenos Aires. | | Th: Argentine's list of triumphs is | | unimpressive for a battler who was once | expected to emulate the feats of Luis ‘Ancel Pirpo.
