SENATORS' LINEUP
KEPT INTACT FOR
E
BILOXI, Miss., March ST. (AP)
The 1034 edition of the Washington
Senatora will be a virtual reprint of
the league pennant winning 1933
edition.
Manager Joe Crontn feels that a
team that can win the pennant and
challenge for the world's champion'
ship la capable of repeating and with
a bit of luck can win the world'a
baseball flag this year. This youth
ful msnager and his ambitious team
mates still feel the lash of detest In
the world's series last year and are
eager to get another chance at base
ball's highest prize.
Cronln and his Senators are about
the hardest losing lot that ever
bandied balls and bata and they still
believe that hard luck and hard luck
alone was responsible for their losing
the world's title.
One msjor Improvement Is seen In
the work of young Cecil Trsvts, candi
date for third base, which has been
held by the brilliant Ossle Bluege.
Travla has earned a ahare In the Job
and If Bluege ahould slump he may
take It over. In addition to being a
fielder of first water, Travis la a
natural hitter, never having batted
under .340 In la brief baseball career.
Then there Is a young catcher by
the name of Elmer Klump, up from
Chattanooga, who has the regulars
bearing down hard to hold him off
their Jobs. He will at least be used
as utility and before the end of the
season may be a first line catcher.
For pitchers the Senators are amply
supplied In the big four, Crowder,
Whltehlll, Stewart and Weaver, with
Jack Russell standing In sharp relief.
Russell is regarded by his manager as
the best relief pitcher Washington
has seen since Flrpo Marberrr, who
was one of the best baseball ever has
seen. Behind the regulars Washing
ton hss a hustling lot of candidates,
out of whom good support can be
obtained, .
