26 Clark Griffith Is in New York to Effect Big Trade SPORTS CONFERRING WITH FRAZEE TO OBTAIN PECKINPAUGH Dope Brings Shortstop and Menosky Here, Dugan, Erickson and Two Others to Boston and Judge and Miller to Mackmen. BY DENMAN THOMPSON. T tion b; may be forthcoming w ers, although refusing to"divulge wh Asked yesterday concerning a re- port from New York that he contem- plated letting go of Joe Judge, in ad- dition to other talent, to land Peck. Griff was his us non-committal self when the topic of a prospective trade is broached, although he d paraged the idea. Then, without making any announcement of his in- tentions, he boarded a train at mid night for New York. where he today is in conference with Frazee. How the Trade Is Doped. Although the’ ramifications of the swap, at present in the formative stage, are a matter of conjecture. most of those interested in ferreting choice morsels for consumption of thé base ball fans agree it is being planned primarily by Griffith to provide the Na- tionals with a manager as well as a shortstop in Peck, although Griff has denied the former Yankee captain being considered as a pilot; secondl, by Connie Mack to get rid of the tem peramental Joe Dugan, who considers himself underpaid and ill tr Philadelphia fans, and consequentl takes French leave from Shibe Park at frequent intervals, and finally by Frazee, who sees in Dugan, a Hol ©ross boy and popular in the Ba state, a potential shortstop of abilit: who might aid him in getting back into the good graces of the Boston public, if such a thing is possible. turally, many more players than Peckinpaugh and Dugan are involved, but who they will be is largely a mat- ter of guesswork. The dope from New York, the headquarters of the Boston magnate, that Duffy of the Red Sox has azreed to send Peckinpaush and Mike Menosky, the former Griffman. who recently an- nounced he would not play for Frazee again_under any circumstances. to ‘ashington in exchange for Dugan, af Erickson and two other player Griffith is said to have practicall agreed to this transfer. but the gl important details of how he expécts to wean Dugan from the Athleties are lacking. It is assured he would have to give something of real value in the way of players. = One guess ventured, by a w York scribe is that Griff will parts with Joe Judge and Bing Miller. It is pointed out that Mack needs a first baseman more than anything el ailable ing only Brazill. a nome too satisfactory performer: Joe Hauser. a minor leaguer from Milwauk who has yet to demonstrate his cl st company, and Johnny Walker, who belongs behind t With Jimmy bat.

January 4.—The American Olympic committee would welcome an investigation of its recent report to which exception has been taken by Baron Pierre de Coubertin. head of the international body. This was made plain by Gustavus T. Kirby, ! head of the American committee. The report dealt with comment on the 1920 games at Antwerp, the Olympic congress at Lausanne last summer and the treatment accorded the invitation from_los Angeles to hold future games there.

W YORK, January 4.—It is a long. long grind upon which candi- l\J dates for aquatic honors enter today at the various universities that go in for intercollegiate rowing.
