No one is more anxious that couple
of players should be added to the Ma
tionals lineup than Griffith. He figures
there still is hope for making some deals,
but he will be better fortified if he fails
in his intentions than he would have
been a year ago, because he has added
some material which is expected to be
useful.
There are reasons for believing that
the coming race in the American League
is going to be harder fought than any
Of recent years. for there are going to
be several clubs stronger than they have
been, and it is doubtful If the three leading
teams in the last race will have as easy
sailing as they did last season. The
Browns of ST. Louis and the Yankees of
New York are two teams which seem to
have bettered their class. and may there
fore be harder to beat.
During the closing weeks of the last
pennant race when Boston was leading
Detroit by SO small a margin that there
was still a good chance for the Tigers
to overtake the Red Sox, providing they
could strengthen their pitching staff and
win a majority of the games yet to be
played. the Detroit club offered to pay
$4,000 to Griffith for either Boehling or
Ayers of the Nationals pitching staff.
Griffith turned the proposition down.
He felt that it was not to the best in
terest of base ball for any club in the
league to help either of the teams con-
testing for the pennant by selling them
pitchers or players which might change
the outcome of the race. He. of course,
knew that the price offered for cne of his
pitchers was a good one. and that he

made an effort to help the Tigers he
