McAleer has refused 10 waive on
Vaughn and Quinn. two New York pitch
ers on whom Chase asked waivers sew
eraI DAYS ago. McAleer believes that this
pair would strengthen the Nationals
pitching staff. though he has little hope
of securing them. The fact of the mat
ter is that the action of the New York
club in asking waivers on these players
Is not for the purpose of getting rid OF
them for the waiver price. 1t appears to
be a mere feeler TO learn what the other
clubs are willing to give in the way of
players in exchange for them, and If such
is the case Washington is out of consid-
Grafton for the reason that the Nationals
have no material which New York would
want and which could he spared here.
