“Last year Sheehan was forced to struggle along all season with out a full set of outfielders, using a first baseman, Jimmy Wasdell, in right field most of the time with assorted infielders and even Catcher Otto Denning having a fling at ‘an outpost. “But it is different now.

The Senators finished sixth with a percentage of .428, lowest since 1619 when the club: wound up with an even 400. “Even with all our disgraceful ball last season w e showed sparks of having something,” Harris said." “I think we can patch up a few of our weax spots and make some progress this season.” The bright ® spots Je 2 Harri Ss Senators’ 1 3 Bucky H cast are Gerald = Walker, the outfielder obtained from the White Sox; Jimmy Pofahi, rookie shortstop, formerly of Indianapolis, who hit. .303 for Minneap- . olis and was fifth in total bases, | and Sid Hudson, a rookie darkhorse ' who may be the season’s sensation if his work the first two ‘weeks here isn’t a dream. Walker ‘is important in the Washington outlook because/he’s the first sparkplug the Senators have had in years. The club has had a reputation of being loaded with players just going through the motions. Walker, happy to get away from Chicago where he insists they have . failed to live up to verbal p omises made him by the late J. Louis .Comiskey, is working his head aT ‘and looks like the fellow who hit |.353 in 1936 for Detroit.

Pofahl Looks Good |

Pofahl’s arrival has made the Washington infield in Harris’ opinjon. The Minneapolis recruit looks

like a hitter and there's no doubt uestion

about his fielding. The mark is his arm. He's bee ing it this spring because jured shoulder he suffere taxicab accident late last season. If

The Yanks’ three top men. Ruffing, Donald and Pearson only won 46 games. Chase gives evidence of having a better year. Leonarfl’s knuckle ball is one of the most feared pitches in the league. KraKauskas is one of those pitchers who has enough stuff to win 20 but you never can tell when he’ll measure up to his. promise. Joe Hayes, who won eight and lost 12

{last year, looks like he’ll be an im-

But the fellow who ‘has Harris raving is 6-foot-4 Sid Hudson, who won 24 and lost only four for the Sanford Florida state league club. He finished every game he started, fanned 192 and two of his defeats weren't his fault. "One was lost on an error and in the other his team failed to score while he allowed only one run, “It doesn't seem possible that a 23-year-old kid can jump from a Class D league to the majors,” says Harris, “but all I know is that 3id Hudson is the greatest looking young pitcher I've seen since I had Schoolboy Rowe at Detroit in 1933. Washington’s outfield will be easily the [fastest in the majors. Walker, who'll season. George Case, in center, led both leagues with 51 stolen bases in 128 games and is:probably the fleetest runner in the game. Lewis, in right, stole 10 bases and isn’t exactly a slow poke.

The hope is that young Early, caught 32 games last season, will come into his own and divide the receiving job with Ferrell. |
