GRIFFITH MAY GET
,PLAYER FOR BUCKY
Detroit Expected to Send
Jack Warner, InfieIder,
to Nationals.
BY JOHN b. KELLER.

n VOW that George Moriarty's resig-
IN nation as manager of the De-
troit Tigers he headed the past
4 two seasons has been received
by Frank Navin, president of
the club, the way is cleared for the
definite appointment to the Tiger helm
of Stanley Harris, recently deposed from
the management of the Nationals. and
Harris is expected to be informed Of
his appointment today or tomorrow.
While relieved of the Washington
management, Harris still is in reserve to
the club, and it may safely be assumed
that his transfer to the roll of the
Detroit organization win mean the shift
of some Tiger material to the Ma
tionalS. Neither Harris, who has been
conducting the negotiations with Navin,
nor Clark Griffith, president of the local
club, has announced what Detroit ma
terial may be involved in the DEAL but
1t is understood that only one Tiger
will be turned over to Washington, and
that he will be an infielder.
Wouldn't Give Two Players.
When Griffith gave Navin permission
to confer with Harris, a privilege that
had to be asked by the Detroit owner as
long as Harris still was the property of
the Washington club, and empowered
Harris to act as the local organizations
representative in the affair. it is said he
sought a pitcher as we'll as an infielder
in return for the erstwhile manager.
This proposition Navin is said to have
turned down, but he expressed his will
ingness to give an infielder in exchange
according to authoritative sources.
Detroit has several inf1elderS highly
rated by the Nationals ownership, but
of the lot it seems likely that only Jack
Warner, who has been used at third
base, considerably by the Tigers the past
three seasons, might be let out by Navin.
There never was any possibility that
Charley Gehringer, star Second-sacker
of the Tigers, would figure in a deal for
Harris, for Navin values him highly and
Harris in assuming the management Of
the Tigers would not want to have such
= brilliant youngster go from the club.
Jack Tavener, the best ShortStop De-
troit has had in years, also seems out
of the deal for much the same reason,
while Marty McManus, utility inf1elder,
is trifle too old to be considered by
Griffith. The Washington president has
enough elderly players at hand.
Warner Weak Hitter.
Warner, who is little more than 25
years old, has never been f1ashy third
sacker with Detroit, but he would sup
ply the Nationals with something they
long have needed, an experienced un-
derstudy to Ossie Bluege.
Warner, whose home is in Evans
vile, Ind, began his professional base
ball career with the Waynesboro club
of the Blue Ridge League in 1921.
There's no record of him in organized

Of Commerce. The figures for 1923, 1t
was said, will approximate the figures
for 1925. one of the low years, but 1t
was pointed out that this is due TO the
fact that the Ford plant was out Of
production for seven months. With the
exception OF two manufacturers OF
popular priced cars. the other car
manufacturers showed increases for the
year.
The figures on world automobile pro-
duction. just published by the Depart
ment of Commerce. say that the world
production OF automobiles was lower In
1927 than for the previous year by
almost million vehicles, or reduc
ton of l7l2 per cent. This is counter
acted by the fact that export gains
we're made by the United States Great
Britain. Germany and CzechosIOyakia.
In the latter two countries the gain In
production was 100 per cent.
Another significant point which the
figures bring out Is that nearly 50 per
cent OF the worlds production Of auto
mobiles we're needed for requirements.
The figures also show that the United
States Is by far the greatest producer.

Against these figures for world pro-

the Department of Commerce TO be

Gals have been so liberal in put

the automobile driving public
finds that pleasure or bushes;
driving III the city is Just one Stof

This placing of stop signs wher5
the officials believe that the
motorist will not look out fol
himself and his car perhaps Is
the greatest reason for the re-
ported failure of so many motor
car drivers TO stop at the boule-
ward signs. There is an old saying
that familiarity breeds con-
tempt" and this is Just what APP
pears to be happening today in
the stop sign matter.
MANY of the signs are not on
regularly designated boulevard OF
arterial highways, but are at iSo.
lated intersections. and theit
placement appears to be of little
use. The presence Of so many
stop signs only serves TO retard
traffic. for the way 10 prevent
traffic congestion is to get it ou'

Liquor Forfeits Permits.
Driving an automobile while
under the influence of intoxicat-
ing liquor predominated as the
cause for revocation of permits
during the fiscal year ending
June 80. last. according to figures
just made public by Director of
Traffic William H. Harland. There
were All revocations for this year,
and the nearest approach to this
figure for other causes was that
of leaving after colliding without
making known identity, which re-
suited in 166 permits being taken
from the owners. Reckless driy-
ing caused 81 revocationS, and
speeding only 95.
On the other hand. the total ar
rests for the fiscal year 1928
showed a falling off in the num-
Der on account of driving while
under the influence of intoxicat-
ing liquor. The total was 430. as
