GRIFFITH SPIKES
REPORT OF TRADE
WITH ATHLETICS
Wouldn't Swap Sam Rice
For Babe Ruth" Ayers
National Boss.
By JACK NYE.

That wild rumor that Clark Grif-
nth was planning to trade Sam Rice
and Joe Judge to the Athletics for
a classy young infieIder and two
veterans who have seen better days
has died aborning.
Its brief span of existence was
something less than twenty-four
hours The last breath was drawn
and rigor mortis began to set In
when Griff himself, blowing into
town yesterday evening from New
York, denounced such talk as
''poppycock"
This Is the usual time of the
year for such wild reports" said
the National boss.
Trade Rice!" he snerted. why.
1 wouldn't trade sam for Babe
Ruth"
That's saying a mouthful. but it's
the way Griff feels about it.
Never Talked to Connie.
Just how the report got its start
7 never even talked to Connie
Mack while was in New York."
he said. The closest I came TO
him was when saw him walking
through the hotel lobby. There
have never been any negotiations
between Mack and myself for a
trade this season"
Grin let il be understood that
when he doeS indulge in trading,
which he does now and then and
expects to do in the near future.
ne isn't going to wreck his ball
club in the progress. It's all right
to trade "chaf for chaff," as .he
put 1t, but when IT comes to getting
rid OF ones brightest stars, that's
another thing.
The three Philadelphia players
whom Dame Rumor was trying to
wish on the Nationals were Joe
Dugan, a promising infieider; Tilly
walker, a capable outfield veteran
who is on the verge OF hitting the
downward trail. and Scott Perry, an
aged pitcher who won eleven games
last season and lost more than
twice that number.
In return all Connie Mack was to
get was a wonderful first baseman,
who maintained .3S3 batting ave-
rage last season. and Sam Rice,
leading base stesler of the league,
champion fly chaser and a 33S
hitter. In view of Griff's reputation
as David Harum, it's almost an
insult to his intelligence.
HugEfzs' Plans Fail. .
Miller Huggins. another who is
said to have cast envous gIances to-
ward Rice, also found that there
vas nothing doing in that direc-
iion. He was told that there were
several players whom GYif1th would
a't even discuss. One of 'em was
sam Whether any headway was
made by Huggins in haggling for
: other players remains to be seen.
GriR explained the reason why
noae Of the insurgent triumvirate
of the league. save Col. Jacob Rup-
pert. were offered places on the
board of directors. He declared that
the others. especially Comiskey. had
trfsd to wreck the league and put
Z under the control OF a civilian
commission. and that it was unsafe
to trust the fortunes of the league
in their hands at present. Col. Rup-
pert, Griffith declared. was not held
responsible for the insurgent move
and was offered a seat among the
directors, but refused to accept IL.

Comment to Await Verifcation
Senator Borah said he and the other
friends of Senator Johnson's candidacy
would wait until they verified the press
report of the national committee meet
ing before making any public comment
on the Craftsmanship. He made the fol-
lowing statement on the treaty plank:
81 hardly think the party will go on
record in favor of ratfying a treaty six
months hence which is already under
condemnation in Europe, and which will
be more and more condemned as its
disastrous economic effects are felt |
venture the opinion that the party will
not follow the course indicated by the
press reports published in Chicago to-
day.
"ln all probability there will not be
a nation in Europe standing in favor
of this treaty by the time the next
President is inaugurated. The Repub-
lican party might take very serious
chances of furnishing the next Presi-
dent if 1t entered upon such a course.
If the party managers think that peo-
pie who have been enjoying the belief
that the treaty and league are things
of the past are going to receive this
news with enthusiasm, in my judgment,
they are greatly Mistaken

Wood Says He Found
No Dangerous Unrest
Cry Of Country Is for Radical
National Economy, He asserts
after Conference With Lodec

WASHINGTON, May 1l.-Maior
General Leonard Wood, here to-day
for hurried conference with Senator
Lodge, Of Massachusetts,, and other
Republican leaders, declared that in
his recent trips over half the country
he had found no evidence Of dangerous
unrest.
"The unrest we find today the
General said, "is the unrest growing
out of the industrial situation, with
high cost OF living and realization
that increased wages do not give all
one needs in the face of high prices
our own Indifference"
The cry Of the country to-day is
for radical national economy, General
W ood declared.
"The people arc more interested in
the cost of. living than any other
thing he added
General Wood declined to comment
on President Wilson's letter to Oregon
Democrats concerning the league of
nations.
THE great sentiment throughout the
country to-day is for a league OF ma
lions with reservations that would
completely Americanize it, he said. "lt
the Lodge reservations don't answer,
is big demand, however, to get the
whole league question off the slate"
On the question of soldier relief
legislation, the general said he did
not accept the view that there was a
reaction against it, declaring 1t was
more question of studying methods.
General Wood next week will go
into West Virginia, whore he will
wind up his speech making.

By Carter Field

From Tho Trtbune's Washington 8urcnu
WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE optim-
ism of General Leonard Wood, who Wis
tied the capital 'o-day for confer
ence with Senal Moses, of New
Hampshire. his Southern manager al
most offset the pessimistic reports as
to Woods chances trickling through
from the meeting of the Republican
National Committee at Chicago ycster-
day.
General Wood conferred with Repre-
sentative Lufkin, of Massachusetts, his
New England manager, and with Sena-
tor Lodge, of MASSACHUSETTS as we'll as
Senator Moses. He talked with the
newspaper CORES spondents, urging that
one day be set for the Presidential pri-
maries in every state. and that some
thing be done to reduce the heavy cost
of making a Presidential fight. The
hard campaign has not told to any Wis
ibc extent on the generals health as
he seemed even more rugged and Wig
orous than before he entered the
battle.
His friends here. however, are some
what concerned about the reports from
the national committee meeting. One
member of the committee. who has
demonstrated is loyalty by helping
the general get delegates instructed for
MIN, was most pessimistic, saying that
the general impression of the commit
tee was that a dark horse would be
named for head of the ticket.
Pin Hopes on Convention
Many Republicans here, however. who
are supporting General Wood refused
to be worried over the reports from
Chicago.
The national committee and the Re-
to be two very different bodies," one
strong man said as a group were dis
cUssing the situation.
'Well. if the committee is as wrong
about Wood as it is about the league
of nations issue, | don't see where
you Wood people have any cause to be
discouraged" said a Johnson advocate
in the group.
A third report from Chicago. which
if accurate, shows a wide divergence of
opinion between the national commit
tee and the Republicans in the House
and Senate, is that ex-senator Albert
J. Beveridge, of Indiana, may be per
manent chairman of the convention, fol
lowing Senator Lodge, who as tenn
porary chairman will sound the "kcy-

1t is said that Mr. Beveridge would
