; WASHINGTON. May 2T JF)
Even the man who owns them,
Clark Griffith, Isn't unite sure
what Is keeping the Washington
Senators, current wonders of
the American league, soIgh in
the race.
Normally, Griffith can analy
se any baseball situation, as
quickly and clearly as an in
fielder tasking up his m I n d
which base to throw to for a'
double play, but not this time. ,
"It's f ot all kinds of fanny
antics," the "old man" said
Thursday. "I rues you're tot
to say it's the spirit. These fel
lows have found : out they can
win, so they simply- to on win-
;' nint" ' - -' V :-; : '"v
"And fine pitching," he was
quick to add. "Our pitching has
been marvelous."
Bat fighting, spirit, the old
eollete try r and .that sort ef
thine is hard to define.
- "It shows up in a lot ef ways,
Griffith said, "such as Ellis
Clary's fltht while he was at
bat a couple of weeks ago. -
"Or In taking chances on the
bases or in going after the hard
est plays when we're In the
field. Trying, working hard for
every break; that s probably it."
That ' doesn't drive in runs,
however, and recent lea rue sta
tistics show the Senators at the
top ef the list In runs scored.
"Well, that's another of those
Em- Ameiricaia Leagee Peniianil Ctia!
peculiarities, puzzling to figure
out. he admitted. "We aren't
hitting a lick, yea might say,
yet Stan 'Spence, with about
.167 average, leads the league in
runs batted in.
- "A team that scores that way
'must have a lot ef speed and
we hare It In runners like Case,
Sullivan, Vernon and one or
two ethers.- .

Check In Your Own Back Yard, Boys
1 ; vThe man with the sack brought ns yesterday morning a well- .
,1 ; signed letter wanting to know how come Parrish gets all that pub- '
llcity In the Statesman while Leslie gets none. Answer to whom
it may concern as well as these petitioners: .When and If the seuth-
' era school gets someone Interested enough In Its athletic achieve
ments to at least phono us the what-fors and whereases, we'll be -nly
too glad to .get It In. Parrish Coach Bob Keuseher sees, to It , -personally
that events transpiring In the north are brought In.
- So you see what we mean? I . ;
" "And you're all wrong on that favoritism stuff. Far as we're con
cerned, it's may the best team win whenever Parrish and Leslie get
together. Only beef we have is that they don't let 'em get together
often enough any more. - ' -
