Mats Could Use His Type.

to play. But he did walk daily to
the radio booth, high in Comiskey
Park, and fulfill broadcasting engage
ments while he was on the shelf.
1t Is more than suppOsition that
Dykes did not take kindly to Zeke's
climbing 10O-odd steps while, all the
time, he was supposed to be unfit for
frst-basing. And they say that Dykes
exploded when Zeke was reported out
dancing during his convalescence.
According to word around
this town, Kuhei will not be
wearing = Washington uniform
next year.
Chicago is just as positive even
more so >. that Bonura will not be
playing for the Sox. Putting two and
two together and subtracting Rookie
Wasdell, it is logical to suppose that
Bonura may be on first base for
Washington come next April.
Wasdell has no crime save that he
bats left-handed and the Mats already
have five southpaw hitters in Me-
Almada, Buddy Lewis, Cecil Travis
Johnny Stone and Buddy Myer. II
may be that Bucky Harris and Mr.
Clark Grif1th will gamble on Wasdeil
anyway.
But that big Bonura, swinging from
the right side Of the plate and driving
across upward of 100 runs, would not
look so bad in the batting order, al
that.

MATS 1888 PLANS
70 INCLUDE MYER
Grlff Feels Buddy Has Two
More Good Years-Younq
Outfit in Sight.
BY FRANCIS +. STAN.

LARK GRIFFITH is a past
master at denying a trade
rumor and simultaneously
completing the reported deal.
but if it is any assurance to Buddy
Myers supporters the Old Fox is in
cluding the veteran second baseman
in the 1888 plans of the Senators.
AS his Nationals turn into the last
two weeks of the season and trade
winds begin to gain in velocity Griffith
is steadfastly pooh-poohing any talk
OF Myer leaving the Washington firm.
AS said before, he is an artist at
denying things. Back in 1884 he in
dignantly stymied rumors that Joe
Cronin would be sold, but came late
Fall and Cronin was shipped off to
Boston.
At that, Griffith probably is the
staunchest booster Of any Importance
that Myer is able to boast. The Old
Fox processes TO see at least two more
good years of base ball ahead of the
33-year-old infielder from Mississippi.
He likes Jimmy Bloodworth, the rookie
who has been playing second base
recently, but he doesn't think that
Jimmy will be ready by next Spring.
Ditto for Jerry Lynn, the young man
who came down from Salisbury the
other day.
His Kind of Ball Player.
II STILL think that Buddy has a
chance to come back again."
snorts Mr.. c., when pressed on the
Myer question. Why should fellow
like Myer be washed up, anyway
He's only 33 years old and he's always
taken great care Of himself.
Last year he was sick from start
to finish. He only batted about $50.
Well, if he was sick, that was all right.
So far this year Buddy's hitting we'll
in the .280s and he's got chance of
winding up with 29O average. That
isn't bad for fellow coming back.
He's driven across quite few runs,
too.
Myers my kind of ball player
E. always has been. He's fast, even
now. and he knows how to run bases.
l don't see any hurry in counting him
out. Chances are that We will have
an awfully young team next year and
We need somebdy in the infield TO
sort of hold it together"
While Griffith is denying reports
of Myers departure he keeps his
tongue in his cheek when the name of
First Baseman Joe Kuhel is brought
up. Mr.. G. becomes highly indignant
and accuses people of trying to UNDER
mine the morals of his ball club by
specializing on Kuhel, but he does not
insist that joey will be Senator next
year.

He's in Durance Vile.

OTHER students of Mr.. Dykes say
that Jimmy doesn't think Bonura
Is as hardy as he looks that he
isn't adequate enough in the clutch.
1t is rumored that Dykes took care
sul note Of the fact that Bonura was
leading In. entire league in driving
across 1uus during ApriI, May and
june. linen DyAss is supposed TO
have noticed tiIat BonUrA stopped
driving across 80 many runs.
Zeke has been in durance vile more
or less ofncially since August IL, &C.
Evening star., 1937-09-21

cording to some Of the White Sox
attaches. The Sox were playing the
Yankees on August IL and the game
went into extra innings. Bonura
worked himself to third base during
the course of the twelfth or fourteenth
inning and while Jackie Hayes was
batting he set sail on q steal of home
The only person in the ball
park who was not surprised by
this amazing action was Mr..
BOnura. They say that Dykes
fell on the bench.
Hayes, the hitter, later said that il
the ball had come over the plate he
would have swung That meant that
Mr.. Bonuras head and whistling
bat would have sharply contacted. 1t
was 8 to S and take your choice as
to which would give.
Anyway, zeke slid home with fine
flourish and the winning run but he
could not get up. He sustained deep
and painful groin injury and the
chances are that he will play no more
this season.
