A—10 The Foening Stad Sportls “WASHINGTON, D. C, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1935. Trade Winds Begin to Blow for Griffs : “Dope” Deadlocks Cards and Giants and Dykes Could Use Some Nationals. A tripping into Griffith Stadium, is likely to be fashioned, Silently and slowly, the front-office cogs in the base ball machinery arz Griffith’s modest office atop the ticket booths, whose feeble pulses have when it comes Washington fandom reasonably may be assured of a series BY FRANCIS E. STAN. FEW feet above the head of roughly, the Washington ball club’s 1936 personnel during the National's due to turn over these days and prob- ably the first wheels to be set into been felt with some alarm this year. Production will not materialize of trades, sales and purchases that may mark one of the busiest local Cochrane, O'Neill, Hornsby Phineag Phann, as he comes final home stand beginning today. motion will be in President Clark until Midwinter, in most cases, but marketing sessions in years. Even Tigers May Talk Trade. JFROM out of the West, in order start- ing today. will come Rogers Hornsby of the Browns, Mickey Cochrane of the Tigers, Steve O'Neill (and maybe Owner Alva Bradley) of the Indians, and Jimmy Dykes of the White Sox. Not one, not even Cochrane, is 50 well | fixed with player material that he is likely to pass up a tete-a-tete with Griffith. A prolific dealer in base ball flesh since grabbing the reins of the Browns, shrewd Rogers Hornsby probably will have much more to say to Griff than “how-d’ya-do?” Rogers hasn't a great deal to offer, but, for that matter, neither has the Washington club—to the Browns, at any rate. The name of Julius Solters may be brought up| in a discussion more than casual. Cochrane, who will lead his cham- plon Tigers into town when the Browns wind up their four-game series, could use an outfield and an infield replacement, as well as a pitcher. Mickey is reported to be sour on erratic Gerry Walker, a pretty good hitting outfielder, and for him Cochrane possibly might ask one of | the Nationals’ gardening corps. Tribe May Eye Heinie. 'NEILL of the Indians quite possi- | bly might help himself to one | of Griff’s flat stogies and, somewhere | in the line of conversation, mention | Heinie Manush. Right-fielder Bruce | Campbell, one of the spearheads of the Cleveland attack, made a re- markable recovery of his serious ill- ness, but he won't be able to play again this year and, by the same token, represents a gamble in 1936. Lending credence to rumors involving | Manush in a trade is the ridiculously | short right-field fence in Cleveland, where 77 of the Indians’ games are played annually, as well as the fact that the Tribe.is fairly well stocked in what Washington lacks—pitchers. Jimmy Dykes of Chicago made no | bones about the fact that he sought | Earl Whitehill Jast Spring and the | veteran southpaw’s recent form should do anything but frighten Dykes away. ‘What he has to offer is something else again, Two Eastern clubs, Philadelphia | and New York, will invade when the | ‘Western teams wind up. Connie Mack | and Griff haven't been trading, nor | is there any indication that they will start now, except in a three-cor- nered deal, but it's quite probable the foundation of & swap or two with New York may be laid. Stone Liked by McCarthy. OTH the Yankees and Griffs are in a state of decadence. It is known | that Griffith feels new blood is needed in his club, and it is believed that Manager Joe McCarthy feels the same way about his New Yorks. McCarthy has been known to watch Johnny Stone with more than passing interest. In fact, it was Johnny and not Manush, according to a reliable report, for whom the Yanks angled so hard a year or so ago. Griffith would have no difficult time | naming & few of the Yanks who'd look | good in Washington uniforms. He's | elways liked Ben Chapman, who| hasn’t gone 50 well for New York this | year, and there is a wealth of pitching talent in the Gotham squad. ‘The Red Sox are the only tossers who will not invade the Griffith Stadium during the 23-game stand here. The Nationals wound up their play against the Bostons on Labor day, but Tom Yawkey and Bucky Harris have put their heads together already, and Joe Cronin has a habit of dropping in to see Pappy-in-law Griff. Joe wouldn’t mind having Manush on his club, but neither has Cronin much to give for the big outfielder, ‘who probably will do his next year's| playing either in Beantown or Cleve- land. At any rate, the trade winds are beginning to blow. —_— Piedmont. Asheville, 5—5; Charlotte, 4—3. Norfolk, 5; Portsmouth, 4.

C., September 4 — Oscar Eckhardt of the San Francisco Missions took full advantage of his closest rival's slump the past week and forged ahead in the sprint for the batting championship of the minor leagues. The big Coast League slugger gained an appreciable edge with an average of .407, while Chet Laabs of Fort Wayne, in the Three-I circuit, in a rut since his return to action following an injury, dropped to .398. ‘With the Three-I having but a few more days to run, Laabs has little chance to catch Eckhardt. The Mis- sion stick artist still has until Sep- tember 22 to work on his average. Missing the trophy for the batting leader, Laabs holds an excellent chance to win the prize offered the best bat- ting rookie of the season.

Finally, the word came down 13 miles of telephone line: “The course is clear.” I knew then that the timers and the others who were to supervise the trip were ready.

I GAVE a hasty glance at my in- struments, temperature gauge, oil pressure, revolution counter and all. I thought of the concealed movie camera that was to record the story of my instruments and wondered if it were working. A mile in 12 seconds, that was what was necessary to attain 300 miles an hour. My speed was in- creasing and the steering wheel en- gaged all my time. The black line was running apparently endlessly un- der the middle of my car as the front wheels straddled it. I passed No. 5, 4,3, 2, 1, and I knew I was hard on the measured mile. A strip of red bunting. I be- gun my measured mile. I tried to steal a quick glance at my revolu- tion counter.

Could I stop in the 6 miles left to go? That question was uppermost in my mind. If I ran far enough beyond my course, the car would cut through the thin- ner salt there and I should bog down, perhaps something more serious might happen. o1 felt a jar on the front of the car.

WWITH the Tigers drifting farther and farther away from the pack in the American League, the old cry of too great a concentration of power has been sounded again. It was the same cry that went up in the Ruthian heyday of the Yanks, and it has brought about an early discussion of trades. With the games rained out in all| sectors yesterday, the dopesters sat around and discussed possibilities. It is kncwn that the Yanks intend to bolster their outfield and infield with new talent; Washington is preparing to sell or barter, and Tom Yawkey of the Red Sox has signified his inten- tion of swapping gold for hitting power. Connie Mack is reported ready to| consider cash offers for Higgins and | Fox, while Mickey Cochrane may let Walker and Owen go. There are a | host of other rumors in the wind.

BY PAUL MICKELSON, Associated Press Sports Writer. HICAGO, September 4 (#).— Cold figures, based strictly on comparative records of club against club so far this sea- son, today pointed to a post-season play-off series between the St. Louis Cardinals and the New York Giants | after all . .. Red’s only hitting about | ¢, the National League pennant. Over in the American League they indicated that Mickey Cochranre’s Detroit Bengals would win the pen- nant by a full nine-game margin over the New York Yankees, who were exactly that far behind them today. The abilities of the various con- tenders to win and lose gamcs at home and abroad were not taken into consideration. Percentages of results to date only were used. For instance, the Cardinals and Pittsburgh have two games left against each other. To date they have split even, each winning 10 for a .500 average. Thus the figures say it's a victory apiece in the final two games. Giants Tough for Cards. A\ GAINST the Glants the Cards have a winning percentage of only .389, which would indicate noth- ing better than an even break at most for the Cards in their final four games against Terry’s men. On the percentage basis, the Cardi- nals are doped to win 16 and lose 12 of their remaining games against the other seven clubs for a final record of 95 victories and 59 defeats. The Giants, unless they fold up on the road, are expected to win 19 out of their remaining 30 for the same record, necessitating the first play-off series since the era of Fred Merkle's “boner.” . On the same basis the Cubs will win 13 and lose 10 to land in third place with 92 victories and 62 defeats, as against 14 victories and 8 set- backs for the Pirates, who then would finish fourth at 88-66. Appears Easy for Tigers. N THE American League, on the same basis, Detroit would win 16 and lose 11 for a total of 99 victories and 55 losses; the Yankees would win 17 and lose for a final standing of 90 and 64.
