OUT;
WEST IN

Sam West, Birmingham crack
outfielder, has signed his Washing
ton contract for 1927 and President
Clark C. Griffith has decided he
doesn't want lack Wheat, the vet.
eran gardener recently given his I'm.
conditional release by the Brooklyn
Robins. There, in a nutshell, Is to-
days baseball news for Capital fans.
West sends in his contract" an
nounced President Griffith, ''from
his home in Rochester, Tex, wher-
ever that is. Best of all, he also
writes that he has recovered COM
pletely from the 'beaning' which put
a sudden stop to his career with
Birmingham last sumner. That's
fine news, I think.
"When Engle began looking
at West he believed the young
ster would be just the player to
make our Outfield. He is only
20 years old and is as fast as
Sam Rice. He was hitting for
$40 and driving in runs galore
for the BaroIls when he was hit
on the head by pitched bah. = :.
we expected TO nave West re-
port for a fail trial. but that accident
stopped that. His doctors advised
that he rest for the remainder of
the season. He followed directions
and now claims TO be as we'll as
ever. ~e@'
"Bucky Harris plans to give West
a thorough trial at Tampa. If the
youngster shows no bat shyness he
may come through as a regular. A
lad with his speed is always well
come.
II have heard from Wheat, but
have decided not to entertain mis-
proposition. We didn't want him as
a regular outflelder but more for use
in pinches at the plate. He could
hardly be called a necessity in any
manner and so we have dropped the
whole thing"
Wheat Is said to have received
offers from the Giants. Yankees and
Chicago Cubs in addition to that
from the Griffmen and may land
one job or another. The Giants nscd
him to take Irish Meusel's place in
left field and II is thought that is
where he will eventually land.

Then too, the substantial house
