JOE KUHEL. Washington FIRST
baseman, who recently was
fined 500 by President Clark
Griffith for an attempted assault
on three local sports writers, ac-
tually shelled out very little money,
if any, from his own pocket to pay
the fine. In fact. he may have
profited by his action.
In sympathy with Kuhel, every
member of the squad ''chipped in"
81 apiece to ease the burden for
Joe. There rs an unconfrmed

check for $50, which would have
netted him a profit.
Kuhel was fined after attempting
to assault a trio of writer's follow

charged with an error on a close
play. The play later was scored
as hit.
