CROWDER
SOLD FOR
ZACHARY

Tom Zachary, the 3O-year-
old lefthander of the St. Louis
Browns, and formerly one of
the Washington Griffmen, is
coming back to the Griffs i'm
mediately. He will join the
team on the present road trip.
CroWder to Browns
Alvin Crowder, 26-year-old light
handler, who had brief trial with
the Pittsburgh Pirates before he
came to Washington last year
from Birmingham, is going to
report immediately to the st. Louis
Browns.
Griffith Strategy
This baseball deal was announced
by President Clark Griffith today.
1t is the first Of several impending
negotiations he has under way to
help the Griffmen overhaul the New
York Yankees in the 1927 American
League pennant race, If possible.
The deal is not an outright trade,
the surface facts indicate.
Zachary comes to the Griffmen by
the waiver route. Crowder is sold to
the Browns outright. Crowder was
waived on by all of the major league
teams some time ago, and this situa-
ton left Griffith free to dispose Of
Crowder at his own figure and under
his own terms.
Baseball enthusiasts of Washing
ton have yelled loud and long since
Zachary was traded to the Browns in
1928 along with Pitcher Win Ballou
for Pitcher Joe Bush and Outfielder
Johnny Tobin. Zachary and Bush,
being the main material in that
trade, were scrutiniZed carefully by
fans in the 1926 race, the former
IA and losing Is for the Browns last
season. while Bush won and lost
in Washington before he was un-
conditionally released June "a, last,
by the Washington management,
only to hook on with the Pittsburgh
Pirates, where he won and lost s
games. Joe is now with the New
York Giants and won his first game
from the Braves last Friday.
Looked Like Good Trade
At the time of the Zachary Bush
deal, despite the moaning from
the public. the trade seemed plausi-
bile in view of the 1925 figures.
Bush had won 16 two summers
ago with the tail-end Browns and
Zachary had won a bare dozen
with the champion Washington
team.
The negotiations at the time Sere
