MoELLER IN BAD CONDITION
By WILLIAM PEET.

New York, May Alt was learned to.
night that Clark Grihith has another
proposed baseball swap In mind, and
the deal may be pulled on tomorrow
night Jack Dunn, manager OF the Balti.
more Eastern League club, wants Ray
Morgan, the Nationals utility infelder
and offers 10 swap outielder Murphy for
Morgan.
Dunn called at the hotel here last night
and was disappointed when he learned
that Grift mad chased of to Montreal
While Dunn himself would not discuss
the proposed swap. several of the Balti'
more players had gotten wind of the
proposed trade and talked OF It openly.
Morgan was obtained from the Dan.
vile club, Of the Virginia League, last
summer, and has only played a few
ably thinks that, with Bill Cunningham
and Jack Knight. he is well enough forti-
fed in his infield, and would be willing
to trade Morgan for an outfelder OF
Murphy's caliber. Dunn and Grih will
get their heads together tomorrow night
and it is likely that something will hap
pen.
Jack knight, the Nationals lsnky in
fielder, will enter the Georgetown dental
college next fall, and make Washington
his permanent residcncf. Said Jack this
evening: Il have finished one year at
the Columbia dental college, but have
decided not to return next fall. 1 like
Washington, as does Mrs. Knight, the
climate agrees with the baby, and I see
no reason why should not continue my
dental course at Georgetown, as I under
stand that the course there is a good
one. I shall make application before the
fall term opens"
Bob CngIaub, former National. who
last season played with and managed the
Lincoln club Of the Western League, and
who this year has been a member Of
Jack Dunn's Orioles, was handed his un-
conditional release by the Baltimore
management last night Unglaub said
that he could not get himself into shape
and was unable to put forth his best
efforts. Bob is on the lookout for job
and should not be kept waiting long. as
there is still lot Of baseball left in him.
Danny Moeller, the Rochester rambler,
who threw his left shoulder out of place
during Saturdays game, will not put on
a uniform for a week. Moeller's job In
left field will be taken by Howard
Shanks. The last named has the chance
of his life to make a name for himself
in fast company.
Circumstances beyond GrifTs control
have forced the boss to use Shanks, and
the kid is confident that when the time
comes for Moeller to return to the game,
Griff will hesitate before sending him In.
Moeller did not sleep a wink last night,
anc at the breakfast table this morning
his roommate had to help Danny convey
the food to his mouth. Moeller's left
arm hangs limp and useless, and the
player himself is blue and discouraged.
Just my luck. too" he said, when l
finally started going right for something
to happen
The calling OF by Charley Ebbetts OF
the Sunday game scheduled in the Brook
lyh ball park with the Lyceums gave the
members of GriIs family a chance TO
enjoy themselves. Half a dozen Of the
players, including several youngsters,
hIked down to Coney Island. while the
others trekked over to Jersey City to
watch the Jersey Clty-Baltimore game.
The fourth game against the New York
Yankees wiH'be played tomorrow after
noon. and Long Tom Hughes will do
the pitching. Unless Hughes or some of
air-tight box work, II is hard to see
where the Nationals will have much Of a
chance to pull down these two remaining
games. The Washington team up to
date on the trip has hit the ball hard
enough, but the other side has wallOped
our twirlers harder. The Nationals are
about due to win, however, and will be
a sadly disappointed bunch If they fail
tomorrow.
Grihth's flying trip to Montreal was
the main subject Of conversation all day
to-day. There is considerable speculation
as to what men will figure in the Gandil
trade, and several members of the Ma
tionals are trembling in their shoes.
