Trading Actively Looms
At Baseball Concluve
Climax Hitter
Seen AS Need
Of GriffS
BY FRANK BUCK" O'NEILL

BY FRANK BUCK" ONEALA
The major league of profes-
sional baseball will hold their
final meeting Of the preseason era
in New York this week. Ordinarily,
the moguls get together, de-
eide that the Yankees won the
American League pennant and the
world series, and that the Giants
won the National League pennant.
They announce the schedule and
issue statements which clearly in
dicate the optimism felt with re-
gard to the coming season.
There is more than an even
chance that this gathering Of the
clan will be more interesting. The
chances are better than even that
ground work will be set for trades
to be made in the training season.
It will be the last chance for the
owners to get together under one
roof, or at least under adjacent
roofs and talk turkey.
NEEDS PITCHERS
Just take, for example, the case
of President Clark C. Griffith of
the Washington baseball club.
Griff has q few fences to repair
before he can hope to make much
of a showing in 1888. From some
source he will have to get a pitcher
or two. The entire league, every
league Is looking for pitchers, but
Griff has to have at least two
who can win in order to make the
grade.
1t may be that the Kuhel for
Bonura deal will be revived when
Griff, Harris and Jimmy Dykes
get together. Next to pitchers, or
perhaps 1t is even more than
pitchers, the Griffs need a climax
hitter; some bozo who can step
up to the plate and belt the ball
out of the lot.
There are few men on the Wash
fngton club on whom you would
bet to win a game with one belt.
Set up this situation: The score
Is 8 to / against Washington in
the ninth inning, there are two
out and two on bases. Which
man would you send to the plate
and be willing to bet the normal
odds that he'd hit home run.
Just to give you a better chance
10 win, the field need not be Grit
fifth Stadium. It can be Yankee
Stadium or Navin Field in Detroit,
f you like those fences better.
CLUBS SEEK MYER
Casual inquiries among baseball
hneA reveal the fact that at least
two or three clubs in the majors
would accept Buddy Myer as part
Of q deal, but no major trans
action Is expected to develop
around the second basemar. II
Myer moves 1t will be in company
with other players.
The Chicago Cubs and Pitts
burgh Pirates are reported to be
en the verge Of a sweeping deal,
and the st. Louis Cardinals are
ready to swap anyone on the
hoster for the men they think
night add power to the outfit.
The Cards this year will not
be favored to win the National
League pennant. Last spring, you
may recall, a majority of base
bali writer's selected the Cards as
probable winners of the National
league flag.

Philadelphia. He was lover of blood
ed stock, and nothing pleased him
more than to take spin behind
Sweet Marie, one-time world cham

Mr.. Stotesbury served as president
of the National Horse Show Of Amer
lea, Ltd, and was American repre-
sentative at the International Horse
Show Olympic Meet, London, in 1908.
as we'll as honorary president of the
Road Drivers Association.
He was born in Philadelphia on
February 26, l849. and made his home
there throughout his life.
Widely Known Abroad.
In 1874 he married Frances Berg
man Butcher OF Philadelphia. She
died many years ago. They had two
daughters. Edith L., wife OF Sidney
E. Hutchinson. and Frances B.. wife
of Kearsley Mitchell. On January 1S,
1912. Mr.. Stotesbury married Eva
Roberts Cromwell, widow OF Oliver
Eaton Cromwell Of New York and
daughter of John H. Roberts Of WASH
ington.
During the later years of his life Mr..
Stotesbury probably came In contact
in a greater variety of ways with
Philadelphia interests than any man
of his day. Probably no Philadel-
phian was as widely known through
o,,t fbn Nation apd abroad
At a time OF life when most men
find it next to impossible to change
their habits and methods, Mr. Stotes-
bury laughingly declared that he
wanted to be sport" His mean
ing was that he had confined himself
too closely to business and had missed
much Of the enjoyment that other
men of affairs had managed to OBJ
tain.
This youthful spirit was most
marked during his winters at Florida.
Long after he had passed the age
Of 70, he repeatedly took prizes for
being the best-costumed man at So
ciety costume parties at Palm Beach.
Aspired to Be Drummer.
He and Mrs Stotesbury were looked
upon as the social leaders of the win
ter resort. Mr. Stotesbury danced
constantly, and on one occasion.
party to celebrate his 80th birthday
anniversary, he was discovered watch
ing a drummer in dance orchestra
with fascination. He admitted that in
his earlier years he had aspired to be
a drummer and had acquired some
facility with the drumsticks. Friends
at once seized the orchestra drum,
raised Mr.. Stotesbury to the center
OF a table. and for IS minutes he
drummed vigorously to the delight OF
his guests.
On another occasion, having visited
the Eastern Penitentiary and discov-
cred that the prison band was insuf11-
ciently equipped. he bought a complete
set of instruments for the prisoners.
On his next visit to the institution
he took the snare drum and showed
the prison drummer how to get the
best effects with it.
Mr.. Stotesbury's father was Thomas
F. Stotesbury, of family of Friends
we'll known for several generations IN
Philadelphia. His mother was Martha
Parker He received his early educa-
ton in the public schools and at the
Friends Central School, from which
he was graduated at the age of is.
The same year he went to work as
a clerk in the wholesale grocery busi-
ness. After a few months he left to
work in the sugar refinery of which
his father was junior partner.
