'GRIF' AND FRAZEE
DISAGREE ON PECK
One Says Infielder Will Man
age Senators. Other That
He Will Not.
BY WILLIAM b. HANNA.

Washington reports yesterday had 1t
that Roger Peckinpaugh was not to be
the manager of the Washington team. or
at least that Clark Griffith. the big
man of the Senatorial outfit, was by no
means sure that such would be the case.
Harry Frazee, Red Sox mogul, who gets
along pretty well in spite of walls of
distress from those who object TO his
running his affairs the way he wants to
run them, Is positive Peck will be the
next manager. He repeated yesterday
that the late Yank would be found al
the wheel In the capital the coming
season, and feels sure Griffith had that
in mind when he consented to part with
Dugan for Peckinpaugh.
AS for a Cleveland syndicate being
here to buy the Red Sox from Frazee.
nobody from Cleveland or anybody has
been to see him. and he hasn't had any
intimation that anybody will. That re-
port Mr. Frazee, like a good many other
reports Of the kind. evidently regards as
all moonshine.

say, since Frisch led his league In base
stealing? Not at all. Frisch has a
sliding weakness. He can do the fall
away in only one direction. and Mac
wants his sliders to be able to throw
themselves in either direction. Hence

Cincinnati Reds, is laid up at his nome

Mr. Heydler will investigate this report
and take action II he finds there Is need
OF it. Rhines was an underhand pitcher
Of renown a generation ago. Rhines

John McGraw doesn't see wherein the
Boston Red Sox have suffered particu-

made. The swap between them and

involved reported to Manager Duffy.
Frazee says that will be all right
that they will report.
