/ EONGE SloaER - sale 10 llt
Boston Braves marks the i'll
T auguration of an extensive
~ campaign of rebuilding for the
| Nationals. According to Presi-
| dent Grifith a thorough housekeeping
is in prospect for the Washington club,
now occupying last place in the Ameri-
| can League race, and by means of trades
and purchases it is planned to replace
all the dead wood on the team with
younger and more ambitious material.
Just what athletes are regarded as
having outlived their usefulness was not
intimated in the presidential pronuncla- =
mento. but il was gathered that there
are not many assured of retention ana
that with the exception of mere hand
full any performer on the roster Will
be considered as trading material should
the opportunity for a deal to strengthen
the club present itself
The disposal of SiSler came as a sur
prise to no one who has followed his
work with the Nationals this Spring.
Purchased from the St. Louis Browns
at the Winter league meeting in New
York for $4,000. it was expected that
he would supplant Joe Judge as regu-
lar first baseman. He was regarded as
a better batsman than the Washington
veteran. as his lifetime average OF .344,
compared to Judges .297, indicated
and his 1927 mark of 1927 was some 90
points higher than Joe's, while his feat
last season of leading the league in
stolen bases with 27 attested to the
SoundneSs of his legs.
SisIer Disappointment Here.
From the outset of the training sea-
son Sisler was a disappointment in a
Washington uniform, however. He never
succeeded in getting his eye on the
ball. his term here netting him an ave-
rage Of but .224 and he had slowed
down to walk in fielding his position
and running tn. bases.
Although no announcement has been
Forthcoming from Rogers Hornsby. who
last week succeeded Jack Slattery as
pilot of Boston's National League entry,
it is expected that Sisler will be made
the regular fiEst baSeman Of the Braves,
who have been using Burrus and j.
Cooney at that station. according to
the type Of pitching they faced.
1t is more than probable that with
steady work Sisler. who as a member
Of the Browns was voted the most valu-
able player TO his club in the league in
1922. when he amasSed batting aver
age Of .420, win boost his average above
the 300 mark but whether he viii be
able 70 regain any considerable part of
the speed for which he formerly was
noted Is a question
In any event the local management
felt ii could well afford to dispense
with the services Of Sisler. He was sold
outright for the waiver price. $500,
the Braves being the only club in either
major circuit which put in claim for
his services. This represents only half
Of the sum Washington paid for him.

HADLEY CUTSLONG

Sisler came to Washington with the

was informed of his sale before the
game with the AS got under way and
was not in uniform during the combat,
leaving in the evening for New York
where he is likely to get into the game
for the Braves against Brooklyn this
afternoon
Although Manager Harris and his

the former star and one-time manager
of the Browns, by whom he personally
was well-liked, 1t is believed the Wash

Sisler was one Of the highest salaried
