President Griffith Is casting about
for nm outfieldcr and q catcher. With
Foster Camel returned to the minors,
his club has no extra gardener other
than Goose Goslin now and the Goose
is In no condition 10 play. However.
he must stick around for emergency
work. But II another experienced out
fielder could be procured, President
Grifnith declares he would have Cos
Inns ailing throwing arm put in cast
and kept there until 1t heals. IL IL IN
to heal. The desire for catcher Is
nothing new. Since the start OF the
campaign Griflith has had his scout
Joe Engel. on the hunt for likely re-
ceiver. To date nothing worth wniie
has been uncovered by Joe.
Rucky Harris has Il fractured bone
In the third finger Of his left hand. 1t
was learned yesterday after an &-fay
was made OF the digit that has been
causing him SO much annoyance. The
break, which occurred about 10 days
ago while not so serious, still is serious
enough to keep the second sacker on
the bench for several more days, That
is. unless Bucky deems II absolutely
necessary that he play. Then much
more than broken finger would be
needed to keep him idle.
LLOYD Brown. sauthpaw Slabman of
the Nationals. stiil Is In the hospital,
whence he was removed the other day
To undergo an operation on an injected
hand, Although the badly swollen hand
was relieved of much pus, 1t still Is
draining and the rookie Is not likely To
be of much use to the club for some
time to come
