The first thing that Clark Griffith did
when he resumed his work at baseball

tions for the completion Of the list of

In answer to his offer Of April 6. Cor

Griffith then wired Zoe Kelley. offering
him two OF the remaining dates for
Toronto. and 1t is believed that the In
ternational Leasuers will accept for at
least one game on their return from the
southern training camp.
Recommends Bean.
Johnny Beall, we'll known some sea-
sons ago on the amateur baseball fields
Of Washington, is the latest to be
recommended to Clark Griffith as a cap
able candidate for one of the outfield
places with the Nationals.
Beall Is a big, rangy, fast fellow,
whose principal asset IL his batting eve.
While he has played in several cities
since his advent into the professional
ranks. he has been steadily on the up
ward trend, and during the season just
closed, stood among the first twelve
hitters in the Western League, hitting
go for the campaign.
He has twice been purchased by major
league clubs. Two years ago the Chi
cago Americans bought him and carried
him to Los Angeles, where he was
planted to await further development.
1t was thought he would be held by the
White Sox, but in some manner Boston
got him, and, 1t IL understood, he is to
be sent back to the Western League
once more.
White q Booster.
One OF Beall's strongest boosters is
Doc White.
I'VE saw enough Of Beall on our
training trip to convice me that he has
the makings of good man. and I
think any club in the majors could well
AFFORD to buy him. I don't know how
