"Wiu Fix NeHsam -

GRIFFITH frankly admitted this
morning that he wanted to swing
the st. Louis deal far more than he
wanted to make a trade with Detroit
for Buck Newsom. If Blushing Buck
thought he was insuring his trade to
some other club when he phoned
Washington newspaper men from his
home in Hartsville, S. c., earlier in
the week he was dead wrong, at least
according to Griff.
He came to Washington making
Q measly $1,000 per year." said Griff,

getting $1,000 last year, and he had

M Base ball overlooked even the
" great Dizzy Dean today and
gazed at a hard-boiled man Of
70, Commissioner Kenesaw M. Lands,
for his long-awaited decision on the
strange case of Bob Feller
The gray-thatched car of base ball
had one Of two apparent decisions to
render: To declare Feller free agent
or to rule him the property Of the
Cleveland Indians.
However, no one knew for sure
whether lands would rule in the case
Of the sensational schoolboy pitcher
today or wait until some colder day
in January. The prevailing guess was
he would act today.
The commissioner definitely was on
the hottest spot Of his 16 years Of
caring.
Other Players Concerned.
SHOULD he rule Feller a free agent
he would open automatically the
doors for at least 20 other we'll known
major league stars, who would like
nothing better than to be free agents
on identical grounds Of minor ajor
rule violations so they could sell their
services to the highest bidders
II he doesn't rule Feller free agent,
the gruff commissioner would be ac-
cused Of overlooking rule violations If
for no other reason than that Feller
was signed at the age of IS, whereas
Lands consistently has refused to
recognize any contract signed by .
player under II.
It was such mess that many
figured the commissioner would rule
Feller the property of Cleveland and
then resign his Office with the admoni-
ton that they needed his counsel no
longer.
Cleveland bases its claim to Feller
on the grounds that while it might
have made mess out of his con-
tractual papers that it was above
board on the contract and that Feller
did sign a minor league contract with
Fargo -Moorhead of the Northern
League, as required.

Griffs Sure to Profit.

IF WASHINGTON should get Hens
ley in trade and ship him to Cleve-
land for Pytlak and pitcher, it is
likely to cause considerable discus
sion, some of it unfavorable to the
Washington ball clubs choice. Dur
ing the current meeting the relative
merits of Hemsley and Pytlak have
been brought up several times. Horns
by, naturally, has defended Hemsley,
but despite the partiality to be ex-
pected there was some food for
thought in Rogers argument that
Hemsley, for all of his extra curricu-
lar activities, is the more rugged of
the pair.
Still, the Washington ball club
bosses prefer Pytlak, the smallest
catcher in the major leagues today
and backstop who never in his big
league career has caught more than
30 games. Illness hampered him most
Of the time. but last year he hurdled
this perennial obstacle and seemed
bent upon catching the full season
until Monte Pearson hit him on the
Jaw with pitched ball and broke the
mandibles in several places.
Even if the Griffmen got Hemsley
and chung to him, they scarcely could
lose. Bolton never has fulfilled his
promise, and Hill does not figure in
the 1887 plans. Nor would the pitcher
who would be given to st. Louis be
much OF a loss. Hornsby probably
would ask for Ray Phebus, who
worked only once for Washington. If
Phebus were not the hurler, it prob
ably would be a case of shunting
somebody like sgd Cohen or Monte
Weaver to the Browns, and this would
be no great blow to Washington.

BY FRANCIS E. STAN,
Stan Correspondent Of The Star.

n YEW YORK, December To-
Base balls annual hog calling
" and space-grabbing conven-
q ton passed into its final stage
today with rumors still flying thick
and fast and the Washington ball club
virtually certain to be involved in a
possible series of startling happenings.
Into the wee hours of this morn
ing President Clark Griffith of the
Nationals and Manager Rogers Horns
by of the Browns were closeted in q
two man meeting, and it seemed likely
that some time today Washington will
get Catcher Rollie Hemsley and turn
ut least three players over to st. Louis.
If Hemsley is ticketed for Washing
ton, however, his tenure as a Senator
Is likely to be brief. Although Griffith
and Manager Bucky Harris hold Hens
ley's base ball ability in high regard,
they do not admire his off-the-fleld
activities and apparently the Cleve-
land Indians do not give hoot what
Rolhcking Rollie does after he doffs
his uniform. At any rate, it would not
be surprising if, by nightfall, Hemsley
had become member of the WASH
ington club, and then, without so
much as reporting to his Capital own
ers, bounce into the fold of the In
dians in exchange for Catcher frankie
Pytlak and Pitcher Oral Hildebrand.
Deal Is Likely Today.
GRIFFITH frankly admitted early
yesterday that Washingtons best
bet to swing a deal in addition to
the Whitehill-Lee-Salves trade was
with the Browns During time out"
at the regular American League meet
ing yesterday afternoon he made a
date for O'Clock last night with
Hornsby. Then he went out with
Tom Yawkey and Joe Cronin of the
Ped Sox and didn't return until nearly
1880 o'clock, when he went into con-
ference with a very impatient Mr..
Hornsby.
After an hour of conference Grif-
nth stated that nothing would be an
nounced Immediately, but he indicated
that sometime today he may be able
to state that Hemsley is a National
as q result of trade that involved
the shipping of Cliff Bolton, Out
fielder Jesse Hill and pitcher to be
named to st. Louis.
Griffith refused to throw any light
on the subject of whether he will keep
or trade Hemsley. That will be a
separate deal, as far as this corre-
spondent has been able to determine.
Griffith and Harris probably believe
that Hemsley is a better and more
durable catcher than Pytlak, but they
also seem to believe that Pytlak is the
more reliable Of the pair.
