v VERY definitely Uncle Clark
" Grifith has signifled his in
" tention of doing some shop
ping at the base ball martS
this Winter. Very probably Bucky
Harris will be tagging along. And
very likely, somewhere along market
lane, Bucky will pause, peer at
diamond puppet with pinch-hitting
possibilities, and recommend:
Uncle, buy me one of those"
First and foremost, of course, the
marketing will be for pitchers, but
when he has bent every effort in this
direction and turns toward bolstering
other departments, Uncle Griff un-
doubtedly will have in mind the ac-
QUESTION of a reserve with penchant
for pinch-htting.
The Nationals downfall this season
primarily must be traced to poor
pitching. AS team, Washington has
hit and fielded up to expectations
But even when a ball club boasts five
OF eight regulars with averages of
better than 800, it still can use a
pinch and that has been
proved this season to Harris sorrow
Hit Less Than Average Hurler.
THE failure of his pitchers only en-
phasized Washington's need for
part-time clouter this year, and
though Manager Harris has tried
many. none has filled the BILL One
man, no matter how much of an
opportunist, hardly could have Offset
the sour slabbing. but at least the
Dave Harris of 1888, the Moon Har-
ris of 1925, or even the Pinky Har-
grave or Wade Letter of 1924 might
have prevented such a drop to the
depths of the American League.
From time to time Bucky has used
13 different players as pinch-hitters
and If you can bear with few figures
a moment some idea of the deplorable
lack of reserve batting strength may be
obtained. Griff pinch-batters have
been at the plate 81 times, officially,
and only on a dozen occasions did
they hit safely. This is an average of
.148.
Few pitchers-those who most often
give way to pinch -hitters-can do
worse than this. In fact, only Henry
Coppola of the current National staff
is lower than .148 and his mark is but
five points shy Of that anemic average.

TO BUY BRAVES
Adams Considering Bid for
Ball Club Made by Group
Marshall Heads.

- EORGE PRESTON MAR
4 SHALL, prominent Washing
ton sportsman, will mix laun-
dry magnating with big
league base ball, if his bid for the
Boston Braves is accepted by Charles
F. Adams. majority stock owner Of the
club.
Representing New York syndicate
interested in the purchase of the
Braves. Marshall. who operates a
laundry chain here, last night tele-
phoned to Adams a substantial offer
for the controlling interest in the
Braves and the offer now is being
considered
1t is understood that the MARSHALL
headed syndicate is prepared to give
up to $285. 900 for the majority block
OF shares now held by Adams.
Marshall Group Ready.
MARSHALL, well known to the
1 New England sport public as the
head Of the Boston Redskins profess
sional foot ball club and formerly
promoter Of the Palace Laundry team
here in the American Basket Bali
League, has expressed the willingness
Of his group to take over the control
Of the Braves from Adams and the
latter is in receptive mood for such
ar offer according to the Associated
Press.
Adams, who in addition to owning
a grocery chain in Boston controls
the Bruins, the Hubs professional
hockey team, and holds a majority
interest in the new Suffolk Downs
race track. became principal owner of
the Braves Thursday when Judge
Emil Fuchs, then president of the
club, was forced to relinquish ms
stock.
The Boston owner held q seven
hour conference yesterday with Ford
Frick. president of the National
League. and his legal advisor and it
was decided that something drastic
must be done to rehabilitate the
Braves. Adams assured Frick that the
Braves would complete their 1885
schedule and both agreed that the
franchise was. much too valuable to
be placed on an auction block and
knocked down to any low bidders.
Adams Would Be Minor Owner.
IN THE event that the Marshall
group gains control, Adams is
willing to retain large minority in
terest.
The Boston capitalist explained that
his limited base ball experience would
be of little help to the Braves and
that the club needed practical base
ball man at its head. Bill McKechnie,
manager of the team, has been ap-
pointed general manager pro tenn.

young Dee Miles satisfying Harris
that he will make the grade, Wash

Powell, already rated by Harris
as the best right handed bunter

hlts this season to his ability to lay
the ball down. Miles, possibly
faster than Powell, promises to de-
Veiop into an equally adept bunter.
