GRIFFITH IS AFTER

Climbers Boss Dickers With

By SENATOR"

ST LOUIS. No. Aug. 2.-Manager
Griffith is diCkering over the telegraph
wire with Harry Wolverton, leader OF
Coast League. for Bill Williams, the big
Hawaiian pitcher, and if Wolverton will
come down on his price a bit, Williams
may be purchased by the Griffmen
Wolverton wants $1,000 in cash and
players. preferably players. Griffith Is
trying to obtain Williams for smaller
amount and to give more money than
players.
In Detroit Griffith was tipped off to
the reat work Williams has been do
ing for Sacramento this year, and i'm
mediately got busy. He is in good
favor with the Sacramento club through
his sending Moran and Kenworthy
cut there this year. and Wolverton is
anxious to please him If possible.
But his demand for $1,000 looks too
high for Griff, especially when Will
Jams has never been tried. Kahoe has
looked at him, though, and says that
he might make a big Lacquer.
II Wolverton comes down in his price
somewhat. Williams may be purchased
If Tom Hughes fails in his application
for a chance TO umpire, he may go 10
Sacramento in the deal for Williams
Hughes says that he woul dixie to play
on the coast and Griffith means to sat
isfy the veteran when he has to lei
him 90. The other players to complete

GR|FF CHANGES HIS
MIND ON PURCHASE
viii Not Get GiIhooIey, of Mon
treaI, Says Manager, and
Denies Report.
By SENATOR" /"

ST. LOUIS. Mo. Aug. 21.-On second
thoughts Manager Griffith says he will
not have Gilhooley. the Montreal out
fielder. After being rather tightmouthed
about the reported purchase of the In
ternationaI League sensation GriI says
he does not want him and denies the re-
port that he was about to purchase Gil
hooley.
"Kahoe reported on this player
month ago." said Manager Griffith to-
day, saying that while he looked fast
on the bases and a good fielder. he
could not hit any better in the Inter
national League than Shanks or Noel
Ter are hitting in this league. Therefore.
it Is foolish to believe that he could
better their marks with my team. 1
have not considered his case any
farther
However, Mike Kahoe is on a hunt for
an out6eIder, with but little hope Of
finding one. Griffith says that he is
willing to pay a good, fancy price for
a real outfielder who can hit go, but
that the player must also be able TO
field as we'll as either Shanks or
Moeller.

Climbers Chances Slim
By Law of Averages

Washington has only the remotest
mathematical chance Of winning the
American League pennant, according 10
7. \. Ph"lan. an expert accountant and
statiStician. The law of average and
the science of mathematics are Iar
older than baseball. he said. and there
Is no team that can beat either of them.
To the mathematical mind, Washing
ton IS out Of il. 1t is only those who
eXpr, IS IN opinion on a hope for the
lIupOssIblr, who will maintain that
Washington has a chance.
'CJnSICeTnS the number of games
playcI III DOIn the American ana Ma
IONai Leagues" continued Mr.. Phelan,
! II IS practically an easy matter Tor
the expert to figure out the ultimate
result unlcss something unprecedented
Should occur and this seldom happens,
Now, take the Washington team as
an Illustration. Its record at the pres
mt time IS slXty-three games won and
IOrty lost. with a percentage OF
.J62, and about forty games yet to play.
Now, II the team should win every one
Of the forty games, ii WOull finish the
season with u record Of lU3 games won
anu forty -nIne lost. Or "A percentage OF
.U7D. The pcrc centagc of the Athletic
team: Wednesday night was .66i, and
CURING that the team will win but
One-half OF the tort games yet to be
played. which Is hardly possible, the
team viii hnish the season with An
averaEc of 62l. If Washington should
wir three out OF every Iour games
PLAYED from this time on, il would
linish the season with a percentage of
.6l@. or nine points less than the Ath-
letics if Connie MaCk's team should
lose one-half of the games yet to be
played.
This deduction is equally true with the
CIeN Gland team, and when IL comes to
the National League, where the New
Works have an advantage of thirteru
full games, the race In over.
