Griff Admits Triple Trade

Con6rms Rmmors Of Deal, But Denies He In

Manager If Swap Goes Through.
By w. ]. MeBETH.

NEW YORK. Dec. 90, "A setting
hen" is on the nest. nd when she
flies away cacking you baseball
fans may look for something more
startling than anything that has
transpired in the player mart to
date.
Roger Peckinpaugh. star short

in 1922 The deal is as good se

binary of major clubs" viii turn
over Peckinpaugh to Griffith. prcsi-
dent of the Washington club. for
Infielder Joe Dugan. Griffith in the
meantime has to snare Dugan from
Connie Mack. who has soured on
the youngster. and who intends to
dispose of him at. any price.
Just what the "Old Fox of thc
Capital City intends to pass along
to Connie Mack for Dugan is prob
lematical. It has been known. for
weeks that Griff was sweet on
Peckinpaugh. He has designs On
the captain of the champion Yam
KEGS to lead the Senators in 1922.
Those close to the inside insist that
Higgins would have been able 10
make an even-up swap of Peckin-
paugh for outfieider Sammy Rice,
one of the very greatest outfelders
of the game.
There is some reason to believe
that New York may be interested
In the prospective swap between the
Red Sox and Senators. Strong as he
has made his pitching stan through
the acquisition of Jones and Bush.
the little pilot of the American
League champions is still without
proper outfield strength perding
the return to grace of Babe Ruth
and Bob Meusel, the great clouting
duo of the club.
There is still a bunch that Sam
Rice is coming here to fill In until
the big Bambino returns and after
ward perhaps. The scheme, they
tell us, is that Frazee will turn over
Peckinpaugh to Griffith for Joe
Dugan, Griff will give Rice and a
young pitcher (probably Har

There is also reason to believe

Higgins has plenty Of Teserv'
strength. No team in either major
league is better equipped for bar
tering. The midget manager has

to anything. and there are plent,
