GRIFF REMAINS SILENT
ON RUMORS OF DEALS

TAMPA, Fla, March z6.-That
rumor of a deal between Nation
ais and White Sox refuses to die.
The latest is that the Sox want
Peck i'm exchange for OutfieIder
MostiI. Perhaps they do. They
wanted Harris last winter and
may be willing to take about half
of the Washington club for a
player or two. Griffith, though, is
MUM about the entire affair.
Also he has nothing to say re-
garding a deal that would send
OmfieIder George Fisher to Min
neapolis and bring from that club
to the Nationals Carl East, a
hard hitter. The Nationals prexy
may have said something had his
team defeated Indianapolis, but
the loss to DOME Bush's aggrega=
