The Tigers topped the team poll with 209 points. unbeaten football team, runner-up in the poll for the second straight year, enjoyed the distinction of posting a clear margin over rivals for national gridiron honors.

The Senators had one of the poorest mound corps in the league last season and so far have failed to make a deal that would improve it.

Tuesday tiade brings their number of outfielders to eight- Manush, one of the big factors in Washington's drive to the pennant in 1933 and a heavy hitter the next year, fell into such a slump the past season that he spent much time on the bench. The 35-year-old, 200-pound outfielder is a great admirer of Manager Joe Cronin of the Red Sox and local experts have expressed the view that a change of scenery under Cronin might bring Manush hack to the heights he scaled when he won the league batting championship in 1926 with a .377 average. Both Reynolds and Johnson are four years younger than Manush. Johnson hit .315 last year as compared wuth .272 while Reynolds hit .270. Manush broke in with Detroit in 1923, went to St, Louis in 1928 and came to Washington in 1930.
