CLUB'S PUNCH GONE AS SAN'S ARM ALS Sore Elbow Keeps Him Idle| as Nationals Sink to Second-Place Tie. BY JOHN B. KELLER. RAGGED back to a second- position tie with the Yan- kees by defeat yesterday, it looks as though the Na- fionals will have to fight for place money in the American League race minus their greatest power in attack, Sammy West. For the second time in little more than a week West's left elbow, which has been ' troublesome to the player more than two years, has gone back on him to force him out of the line-up, and not even West himself has any idea when he will xeady for service again. Sent back to the game only last Sat- urday, after idling several days to nurse ‘the ailing joint, West in five successive games slammed at a .500 rate batting in the third notch. “I belleve we shave found the spot for West in the hitting order,” declared Manager Johnson, com- menting on the player's spurt at bat, ~He is the biggest punch the club has and looks just right in third place. Sam ought to get that second money for us.” However, the elbow flivvered again yesterday, and West found himself un- able to swing & bat effectively in the pre-game drill. That forced the employ- ment in the outfield of Heinie Manush, ‘who has been woefully weak at bat for Heinie will have to be-kept in action through most of the .l games remain- ' schedule. + ing on the Na 9 ley need all the of- <they can muster the . dealt .a severe blow. absence may well mean of second place in the race. d ol i title.)
