GrOh Deal Gives NPGraw
deadlock on Pennant

BUFFALO, Dec. Listeners around
the baseball lobby conference here to-
day might be led to believe the National
League peuuant race next year Is IN
Bright lights OF the majors and the high
minds of the minors voiced the opinion
that John McGraw's purchase of Heinie
Groh, the Cincinnati third baseman. gave
the New York Giants a deadlock on the
next pennant.
Wise baseball heads. however. do not
agree on the business sagacity of the
deal whereby the New York club gave a
star outtelder, George Burns, a fair
catcher. Mike Gonzales, and a sum
reported around 100000 for a player who
has no more than four or five years ahead
OF him and no great drawing power at
the gate.
Some sentiment was expressed that the
deal would not be good for National
League baseball
There's not much need to play out
the schedule now one prominent Ma
tlonal Leaguer said.
In buying Groh, McGraw gave the
greatest sum ever put up for player
whom he allowed to get away~from him
six years ago.
