Just what Griffith will receive for
Henry Is a question. Really, he will
be protecting himself in disposing OF
Henry, for the big catcher has deliv-
cred his ultImatum against remain
ing with the Washington club. II
deals for his services fail. the wash
ington club will be left without Hen
~ or any other players or money
that might have come for him, for
the big backstop has told friends that
he will retire from baseball rather
than perform another year with the
Griffmen.
In the old days it might have
been difficult to get waivers on Hen
~ from other American League clubs.
However, in these war times the two
organizations are working together
in a more friendly manner, and,
rather than allow Henry to quit the
game, il is expected that Griffith will
have no trouble in obtaining the nee
essary waivers that will allow Henry
TO go over TO the National League.
Denies RumOrH Of Deal
Rumors OF a three-cornered deal in
volving the Washington. New York,
and Chicago clubs have been denied
by the Old Fox Harry Frazee also
denied last December that Ed Barrow
would become connected with the
Red So1 in any capacity whatever.
Today Barrow is the manager OF the
Red Sox Tomorrow or the next day
the contemplated three-cornered deal
mentioned may be an accomplished
fact. DeniaIs form a part of the ar
rhaic methods used by baseball mag
mates and hoodwink few
Manager Griffith is willing to part
with Ray Morgan. but he must re-
reive a capable infielder in exchange
for the Bsltimorean. Morgan is now
4 hold-out. though that means little
or nothing. II Griffith can obtain q
third baseman or a second baseman
worth while. Morgan may be traded.
Eddie Foster can hold down either
second or third acceptably, and SO
Griffith is allowed some leeway in
his trading.
Barring second base or third base,
depending on how you look at It, the
lineup OF the Griffmen is about set
tied for the coming campaign. Here
and there a player may be taken by
the army. but hardly one OF the reg
ulars will thus be lost to the team.
Few are unmarried or without de-
pendents, and on this account the
