Nationals to Get Infield Material : McGrawmen Achieve an Interesting Record 'PROPST, THIRD BASEMAN ‘JOINS CLUB THIS WEEK Recruit Performed Well in Defunct Cotton States ! League—Prothro of Memphis and First Sacker Are Sought—Johnson Blanks Tygers. BY JOHN B. KELLER. HAT 'more strength in the inficld is needed by the Nationals has been apparent all season. With Joe Judge, regular first-sacker, out of the game much of the time and other members of the inner de- fense temporarily incapacitated, the club has been unatle to go far in the American League race. Its scant reserve has not filled capably the shoes of the first-string absentees. An earnest effort to bolster the Nationals in this respect, however, is being made by President Clark C. Griffith, and it may bring results satisfactory to both club and fans in the near future. Negotiations for the purchase of several promising minor league infield- ers are under way, and one now a free agent is to sign a National contract within a day or so. The athlete expected to attach himself to the salary roll of Prexy Griffith’s outfit is Jake Propst, who played this season with the Green- ville team in the Cotton States League that went out of business not so Tong ago. The head of the Nationals and Propst have exchanged letters, and the latter declared he would come here this week to put his name on the papers. THE OLD MASTER AGAIN | If- Propst can perform up to his — 1 rlowing advance not s, he will be a very welcome addition to the Na- tionals.
