Weaver May Be OptiOned.

~xyHETHER Weaver would go from
w the Nationals permanently or
merely be optioned to the
Albany Club of the International
League was not certain this morning.
A telegraphic request for waivers on
the pitcher was made by President
Griffith last Saturday, but did not
take effect until Monday. AS Amerl-
can League clubs are given " hours
In which to claim a player under sucn
conditions, the waiver request does
not expire until tonight. =.
Up to today no club in the circuit
had claimed the pitcher. However
ihould any do so Griffith proposes 10
withdraw the waiver request and en-
deavor to make a deal for weaver
Unable to do that, he would seno MN
to Albany.
Weaver instead of Bean or Coppola
Is being let out to make way Tor the
new pitcher, partly because OF his m
different record last season and tnls,
but mainly because of Manager Har-
ris' desire to retain Bean for rellef
work and the rookie Coppola for de-
yelopment under his own eye.
The rookie sensation Of the year IN
1882. when he won % games and lost
10, Weaver began to fade the next sea-
son. Then in the Nationals pennant-
winning campaign he showed record
of only 10 wins against 5 defeats.
Affected by a stomach disorder last
year, the lanky right-hander pitched
only .423 ball.

Coppola Harris PrOtege.

~HIS year Weaver reported at
training camp far underweight
and has been unable to get IN
satisfactory condition. He has pitched
in only a dozen innings to get one win
and one loss.
While Bean was badly battered IN
his initial appearance in a Washington
uniform last Sunday, Harris still be-
lieves the transfer from the Indians
will prove helpful in relief roles. That
is something Weaver never has been
able to do with the Nationals.
In Coppola the Washington manager
sees a corking fast-ball hurler in an
other season or two, but he prefers
bringing the youngster around himself
rather than leaving the task to a
minor league pilot who might not be
so cautious in the handling of such a
fine prospect.
There was little surprising yesterday
In the annoUr cement OF the deal
whereby Newsom became the property
of the Washington club. For some
time it had been no secret that CLARK
Griffith was endeavoring to nab the
fast-balling highlander. Bidding for
him began when the Nationals presl-
dent and Manager Harris were at the
major meeting in New York last De-
cember and was renewed frequently.

Buck Bucky's Choice.

The deal is strictly HarriS-made
one. While Joe Cronin was managing
here he preferred George Blaeholder
to any other of the St. Louis pitchers
and several efforts were made to land
this highlander who only yesterday
went to the Athletics in swap. Har-
ris, though, regarded NewSom as the
bett r boxman not only because OF
the eccentric hurler'S greater speed,
but also because of the difference IN
age Newsom is four years younger
the Blaeholder and seemingly much
the ,ronger.
+ ording to Griffith, the $4,000
mai out for NewSom exhausted the
ous r-million the Nationals got when
the shipped Cronin to the Red Sox
last Winter in base balls biggest deal.
Nearly 100000 has gone for the pur-
chase of experienced material, such
as Newsom ana Hadley and the acqul-
sition of minor leaguers. A slzeable
sum has been spent on minor farms.
And there were other debts the ball
club had to square up.
Another bill was run up right after
Newsom became the property OF the
Washington club, too. The pltcher
had to sign another contract, OF
course, and the one to which he
penned his name called for a substan-
tial increase over what he was rece1v-
ing from the Browns. But both Gr1f-
fifth and Harris are confident Newsom
will be worth the raise.
"Buckll get us in this pennant
race" the washington president pre-
dicted. The manager would not go
that far, but claimed "Newsom ought
to put new life in a club that has
needed only a little more pitching to
make it a dangerous ball club at all
times"
