1t is understood that Youngblood
and Turk are being placed out mere
Iy for the purpose OF getting the
work they need, it being figured they
will develop faster with regular toll
than in having their labors confined
to pitching to the Griffmen in bat
ting practice prior to the games.
Their departure leaves vacancies
for the addition of several athletes,
but, aside from Dad Hawkins, the
Tampa right-hander, who is due to
reach Washington the 10th of this
month, the identity of the additions
contemplated at present is shrouded
in mystery.
1t is reported that an infielder, an
outfielder and two pitchers are slated
to check in at the capital before
the month is out, but no official an
nouncement has been forthcoming as
to who they are or where they hail
from. Third Baseman Conroy of Min
neapolis may be one of them. and
Outfielder Fisher, also now under
Cantillon's guidance, may be an
other.
Smith, while a fair fielder. with
fine throwing arm, has been a dis
appointment, so far as hitting Is con-
cerned, since he was obtained from the
Browns last June a year ago in ex-
change for Frank Ellerbe. But the
governor also has been something of a
flivver with the Fohls, especially this
season, his hitting being many points
under the mark expected of him, so the
Griffs cannot be said to have gotten
the worst of the swap.
