Bobby 0uinn's Boston
Outfit After Sept. -

BOSTON, Sept. 3.--The Red Sox
announced the absolute purchase of
Fred Wingfield. a right handed
pitcher, from the Chattanooga Club
Of the Southern Association. Presi.
dent Bobby Quinn would not saw
how much he paid for the new
pitcher who won ten and lost six.
but he would not deny it was
$4,000.
HE will join the club when we
go on our western trip after the
series with the Yankees here. He'll
meet US at st. Louis on September

and guess we need him and some
Others" observed the chief Of the
Red Sox.
Wingfield was with the Wash
lngton Griffmen at Tampa this
spring, falling to make TIE grade
on his big league trial. With Chat
tanooga he played both in the in
field and outfield in addition TO
pitching.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1924-09-03

Another trip approaches, but
the Griffs are not worrying. The
championship and the world series
glory and gain beckon to them.
The team that twice rode into
first place at the expense of New
York and Detroit means to hold
that margin and tromple down all
opposition between now and the
close of the campaign.
There are no weaklings in the
roster. Walter Johnson may
counsel caution in thinking of VIC
tory, but the grand old master
knows down in his heart that his
team will win and he will close
his career by pitching in a world
series, something denied him for
seventeen years.
Bucky Harris and his gang have
earned the title this writer rather
recklessly gave them months ago,
"The Fighting Griffs." All they
need do is live up to that title
for three more weeks and they
will ride right into the 1924 world
series. THEY'LL DO IT!

The doubleheaders proved a
severe strain on the Griffs. They
tumbled out of first place, though
not without offering the best of
opposition. All through July
they battled to keep at least
within hailing distance of the
leaders and were there when
they went West for the second
time.
Arriving in Cleveland, the
Griffs found the Indians still
rough and dropped three out of
four. They were not too happy
on reaching Detroit, yet facing
the leaders-Cobb's team was
leading then-the Griffs gathered
all their strength and won the
first three victories. They drop
ped the last by a close decision.
Leaving Detroit the Griffs
honestly thought they would take
at least three out of five from
the Browns in st. Louis. Imagine
their shocked surprise when they
were knocked for a row of five
shanties. 1t is right here that
we are getting to the real low
down.

that the club that gets the pitching
will win. am sure it will be the
team that has the catching. And
that catching will mean catching
up with the Giants or the Washing.
ton club. A lot Of folks think that
this writer is prejudiced. That Is
not so. He's a Dutchman.
A fan writes me to ask whether
l figure the Giants as a better club
this year than the Yankees. Ny
reply, based on careful tests, is
yes, the Washington club is the
marvel Of the universe, including
Chevy Chase.
At this writing the Giants are
handicapped because they have only
ten or fifteen pitchers. They ought
to have at least fifty. Then they
could use ten at the same time,
putting one Of them in each posi-.
ton and that would leave one to
act as umpire at the plate. Under
this system, which Mr. McGraw and
! are going to patent, every pitcher
thus placed would be armed with
gross of baseballs. They would
all begin to throw at the same
time, and the coroner's jury would
bring in a verdict of guilty.
After interviewing ali the big
guns. such as Speaker, Barney
Dreyfuss, Connie Mack, Colonel
Rupert and the various ground
keepers, have come to the con-
clusion that the team that gets the
breaks will have them. What they
do with the breaks is entirely up to
the men themselves, as this writer

lete and not a railroad man.

or course, Eddie can't keep on
going much longer. There is an
end to everything and everybody
even to such wonderful ball players

I'd like to see him win the prize I

I'll be pulling for him because I

A few seasons ago those who
incline the listening ear to the

Giants wanted Hornsby. No doubt
they did, but John McGraw entered
prompt denial that he or any of
his agents had approached the st.
Louis star. Hornsby, at that time,
was in the process Of argument
with his employers. He wanted
more money-a sum in his estinia-

ability as a ball player. Club Off

much.

comes the moral. The man who
went to work for what he could get

From a man who is close to

to compromise for $685. a year.
He is worth that. The leading
batsman Of baseball could obtain
that much money in several major

He furnishes sterling example of

he is not rewarded suitably when
the time comes for his contract to
be renewed there is no justice in
baseball.

think OF him as old because he is ap.

he is SO fast we forget that this Is
