It is a few other things, too, mixed, shaken well and fizzed up to make the Nationals and Sir Walter Johnson the | of the game which are making the standouts in major league base ball on this very afternco. | For instance, gentlemen, there’s Mr. | Spirit, Reynolds, late of Chicago, but never late when he is scurryng down the lane with the mail. Carl is “that” which Walter Johnson sought for a long while—a right-hand hitter who could hit and bring in young men wio all of last season had to linger wnto old age upon the hassocks. This afternoon Carl's record shows | that he has brought in 14 of his mates who would have spent idle moments out on second or third base in other years. Those 14 runs came at times when they counted heavily, just as heavily as Carl leans on the ball. Carl has had company in bringing in runs; Sammy West has poled in 14 and Heine Manush, the 'Bama bamber, has hur- ried along 13 of them to make a grand total of 41 runs that can be credited | to these three energetic young men. While Sam, Heinie and Joe Cro- nin, the latter going at record clip im his last 10 games, are hitting with brilliancy, Reynolds, somehow, typi- fies the punch which the Senators lacked last year and which is mak- ing them this semester. Sam, Heinie and Joe always came across with their share. But, as last year’s rec- ords show, they were not enough to shove the old Johnson machine over the ridge. Now Carl is in there. He is the extra mecessary punch. Down in the tomblike Biloxi this Spring Johnson dilated upon the value which Reynolds wculd be to the team. | “He is just the fellow we need to get in those runs which have been dying on the bags,” said Sir Walter. But even in that optimistic moment Walter probably did not believe that Reynolds' presence in the line-up would be enough to help the Nats batter down Grove, Earnshaw, Walberg, Ruffing, Gomez and Pennock at the season’s start. But there's the big dash-and-spring | tionally known figures on the \CHEVY CHASE TENNIS man from Southewestern University right among the first-class hitting workmen of the American League, with a batting mark of .397, which is a very sweet trio of figures even Jor the young man who has been a Detter-than-.300 hitter for some time. | Carl, despite his mark, and the man- ner in which he laces the ball at a| sizzling pace across the infield, is not a | spectacular player at bat. He lines them | out splendidly, but the ease with which | he cuts at the ball, his workman-like | procedure before, and after the blow, | does not make him a standout. And up among the home-run hitters, the long-distance wallopers and the spectacular clouters, you will not find Mr. Reynolds’ mame. You will find none of the Nats among the home-run hitting lumi- . But, gentlemen, you will not have to put on granny’s glasses to see the boys in the batting list. They are there several ways. There are three other departments Nationals the standout team of the season at the moment. There are two other assets besides the three, grit and which belong to the team as a | group. These two title necessities be gan to become evident in the South- land weeks ago. There began, down there in the ham and grapefruit belt, a feeling of “I'll show 'em” by several members of the team whom Time touched and aroused. They resented the feeling that they were slipping and decided to take this season to prove that they were not. Mr. Joe Judge, the ever-blooming base ball perennial, for instance, not only said something along the above lines, but is making it stick hard enough to toss a brilliant young first baseman out of the line-up. But the credit for the stimulating of the punch in your Nationals goes to Carl Reynolds, the ez-Sozer, whom a whole lot of men in base ball said was too brittle to do much harm on the sacks and who was slipping as a .300 hitter after a bad | showing last year. | Mr. Reynolds, hired to do a job, not | has only done what was expected of | him, but has given much more for bet- | ter measure—Carl has added spice to last year's punch. And he has plenty | of winning college spirit which Walter Johnson says & team must have to come through. SWIMMING STARS VISIT New York Girls to Take Part in’ Meet Here Saturday.
