BY FRANCIS Z. STAN.

~LARK GRIFFITH, long famed
for his trading propensities
but never on q wholesale
~ scale, will lend receptive ears
to overtures for all except three Of his
Nationals when the big-wigs Of both
major leagues convene in Chicago
December 10.
This was indicated by the WASH
ington club president today as, in pre-
pairing arguments and counter argu-
ments for possible use in base balls
big annual verbal battle. Griffith de-
clared he was ready to rebuild his ball
team.
1T may be a very gradual process, "
Griff cautioned. I'm fact, 1t is almost
certain to be so, but If any club
owners are interested in my ball play
ers and their trade talk sounds rea-
sonable will be ready to do business
I am not saying every other player
will be put on the block. but will
say that three are sure TO wear Wash
ington uniforms next year--Buddy
Myer, Cecil Travis and Jake Powell"
Positively this trio is not for dis
posal, averred Griffith, unless an offel
comparable to the magnitude of that
which caused him to part with Joe
Cronin a year ago is made,
"They-Myer, Travis and Powell
will form the nucleus of my teams fol-
the next several years I hope" con.
tinued Griff.

sists and l8 goals? Or that Chapman
was third highest scorer and the most
prolific assister in pro hockey? CHe
made 80 assists on scoring plays.)
"Yet," said Dutton. Chapman was
penali7ed only four minutes all season
and Schriner only six. King Clancy
Of Toronto, for example, spent seven
minutes less than an hour in the
cooker. Horner of Toronto was
penaliDed more than two hours. That
is two whole hockey games. unless you
want to be nasty and mention over
time."

Three Man Nucleus Lucky.

Three-Man Nucleus Lucky.
GRIFFITH apparently likes to toy
with the idea of rebuilding his
team around three or four men. "It' S
sort Of like an omen, saying this, "
he recalled. "As I remember II. this
Is the third time I've planned re-
building Washington team around
three men.
'In 1912, my first year here, I built
O team around Clyde Milan, Walter
johnson and George Mcbride. We
finished second that year and the
next and stayed in the first division
two season after that.
I'm 1920, I think it was, built a
club around Joe Judge, Bucky Harris
and Sam Rice. They were the nucleus
of the 1924 and 1925 clubs"
So far in what Winter trade talk
has taken place the Nationals have
played very minor part. Griffith
admits that shortly after the season
ended he was involved in some pre-
lininary negotiations with one or two
clubs, the overtures having to do with
Washington outf1elders in exchange
for pitchers. Negotiations suddenly
were dropped, however. and Griff had
twiddled his thumbs since.
Next week, though, when the three
day session opens in the Palmer House
at Chicago, Grifdth frankly doesn't
expect to be doing any thumb-twid-
ding. The undercurrent In the Amer
lean League front Offices Is that the
Red Sox and Athletics have COM
pleted the widely rumored Foxx-
Cramer Higgins McNair movement
and that when this formally Is an
nounced, possibly next week, some
thing Of a free-for-aIl is due among
other clubs in attempts to add
strength.

In the series.
At the present time Roosevelt Is a
much improved edition over last years

yet anything to stand up and cheer
about and their passing just bit
wild. the Riders nevertheless present
an aggressive aggregation which is
willing to learn.
Passing Is Impressive.
WEAVING the ball down under the
w baskets for shots, Littman's boys
no longer send heaves at the back
board from distant points. Should
Roosevelt advance as rapidly in its
remaining pre-Series tits as 1t has
done to date, the Orange and Blue

from last years Montgomery County

erased APPOINT margin to lift Be-
thesda- Chevy Chase to 2l-to-2l tie.
Ed Thompson, one of the men fight

his bid for the job no little when he

his huge paw in front Of the ball, toss

it to Kolius, the grid star swishing

the final whistle.
Starting four inexperienced MEM
bers of his squad along with Beamer,
Littman watched the visitors step into
a 81 lead before mis- regulars rushed
into the fray to queil the uprising and
vault into a 1913 lead at halftime.

pointers with a brace of foul shots,

closely followed by Harris of Bethesda

the masses we're drawn into the war,
but an imperialist war: that is to
say, a war Of the great imperialist
powers of finance-capitalist groups
for world profits and world plumber,
for territorial annexations, tribute
and colonies (the subsequently re-
vealed secret treaties Of the Entente
Powers, the Brest-Litovsk Treaty
imposed by Germany, and the YER
sailles Treaty imposed by the vic

correctness of this analysis.
Marxism, Lenin insisted, was not

oppression remained: 1t recognized
the necessity and justification of a

cialist fatherland against capitalist

in the present imperialist war the
working masses had no interest to
kill one another for the profit of
their masters: their interest was to

Second, that the consequent line
of the working class in every coun-
try must be to fight their own i'm

rialist war into civil war, into war
for the overthrow of the capitalist
class and for the victory of social

from the cycle of world wars and
universal destruction into which
