WASHINGTON IS UNCERTAIN CLUB Fate of Washington Team Lies Solely With Pitching Stall' (Editor s note: This is one of a Series on major league baseball teams in training. Fly Stuart Cameron. (Vnited Press Sports Editor) Washington. Apr. 12. -(U.R) The fate of the Washington Senators lies solely with their pitching staff The uncertainty of the Nats’ mound detail makes the club the least known factor in the American league race. This year’s version of the club which finished first in 1933 and next to last in 1934. is a powerfulhitting. sure-fielding outfit. But the pitching staff is old and unsteady. If these seniors should happen to click the Senators could score a surprise similar to the one registered by Washington two years agd, and by Detroit last year The big four are Earl Whitehill, Sfonte Weaver. Bobby Burke, and Irving Hadley. Whitehill, ace lefthander. and Weaver, who throws with his right, both have been 20gnrne winners.

I Hadley has been troubled with a lame arm and it may be some time before he is able to step into a regular pitcher’s role. Two positions, shortstop and i center field, are still undecided Short was left open when Joe Cronin went to the Boston Red Sox. and probably will be filled by Ralph Kress, but Lyn Lary and Ossie Bluege are battling for the; Job. Centerfield will be covered by I Ered Schulte or Alvin (Jake) Pow ell. Schulte has held the job for some time. Powell is the club's best rookie, ami may get the call over Schulte. The other places are fairly definitely set and a proluble batting I order is Powell, cf: Meyer. 2b; i Manush. If; Stone, rs: Travis. 3b; i Knhel. lb; Bolton, c; Kress, ss.

The l l inexperienced Cliff Bolton is rated l No. 1. But he’s far from being a ' finished receiver.
