Fred Looked for a lob

ONLY a year ago Griffith coldly
spurned Mr.. Dykes earnest offer
OF Zeke Bonura for Joe Kuhel. That
was because joey batted .321, batted
across 1l8 runs in 1886 and fielded
rings around Bonura. So far this
meeting, Dykes coldIy has spurned
Mr.. Grifiths offer to make the same
trade. That is because Bonura batted
.345 last season while Kuhel slumped
to .283. That is the way it goes in
the baseball business.
Even at Milwaukee GriY was
haunted by memories. In one corner
OF the minors convention hotel stood
Fred Schultz, the former Nat CENTER
helder. He was looking for a Job
No major league club wanted him. so
he finally signed with the Milwaukee
Brewers.
Back In 1885 an agitated
Mickey Cochrane walked into
Grif's office and offered to
trade Pete Fox for Schultz,
even up.
Throw in Eden Auker and it's a
deal" said Griff. 1t wasn't a deal
ana Fox carried on to become the
best right fielder in the league in
1885. And the World Series hero.
Grif couldn't get Fox now for
any outflelder on his ball club. And
there was Schultz looking for a Job.
But Griff, in his misery, has plenty
of company. 1t happens to the best
of baseball's David Harums.

Now, two years later, Washington
is willing to include the same Mr..
