volved. Ponura will report here
on Sunday. Kuhel will leave at
once for Pacific Coast to join his
new team.
CLOSED OVER PHONE
This trade, which has been In
the making since last October,
was closed by President Grifith
In a long distance telephone con-
verSation with Jimmy Dykes,
manager Of the Chicago White
Sox early this morning:
Dykes called Grih on the tele.
phone and asked If he still were
interested in Bonura. --..
IT am if he is willing to play
ball." replied Griffith.
"All right" replied Dykes,
''you telephone him, discuss the
proposition, and call me back"
Griff at once called Bonura at
his home in New Orleans and after
q conversation an agreement was
Griff called Dykes on
the telephone and announced
that the trade was satisfactory.
Dykes sent a telegram Of con-
firmation and the trade was com
pleted.
MATS FLAG THREAT
I'm ready to join your club,
Mr.. Griffith" Bonura said over
the telephone. "I'd love to play
in the Capital. I'm in fine con-
dition and ready to 60"
The entire complexion Of the
American League pennant race
changed when Bonura assured
President Griffith that he not
only wanted to play ball, but was
eager to become a member OF the
Washington club.
It can be said with truth now
that with good pitching, Wash
ington becomes a. definite factor
in the pennant race. They boys
may not win, but they will be any
thing but a soft touch.
GOOD FOR CLUB
Bonura is a powerful righthand
hitter. He has a lifetime batting
average Of .318, as compared to
.291 for Kuhel. Last year Bonura
hit .345 and drove in 100 runs, as
compared to Kuhel's batting aver
age Of 1893 and 81 runs batted In.
In four years Bonura has driven
in 440 runs. Kuhel has batted in
$50 runs in eight years Of major
league play.
Those figures tell their own
story in language more eloquent
than any succession Of high-pow'
cred adjectives possibly could. The
trade is a ten-strike and nothing
less from the standpoint Of often
sive power. In four years, Bonura
hit for a total Of 1,0S4 bases. In

Colorado Star
Slated For
Pirates
HERE ON VISIT
All America Gridder,
Teammates Take In
Capital Sights
BY CHICK KENNY

Byron "Whizzer" White, the
nations most highly publicized
college football player, arrived In
Washington today, 10 minutes
late.
The Colorado University foot
ball ace, has yet to make up his
mind between q Rhodes Scholar
ship and a career as a profes-
sional football player with Art
Rooney's Pittsburgh Pirates.
Maybe Congress in session here
will decide.
However, White states that he
will decide on his future no later
than midsummer.
SURE BET TO PLAY
It is during the summer months
that the voting for the college
gridders by the nation at large,
will put over a landslide decision
for The WhiZzer to play with the
College All7Stars against the
Washington Redskins on August
81 at Soldier Field, Chicago. It is
expected when the daily results
of the poll are published White
will announce his decision to sign
the contract which will make him
member Of the Smoketown pros
that will face WaShington'S Skins
here Sunday, November ~, in
Griffith Stadium.
Today, Whizzer White and his
basketball teammates were enter
tanned at luncheon by the Colo
RADIO delegation in the Senate
restaurant. After this repast, the
team took a sightseeing" jaunt.
The team is scheduled to depart
late today, homeward bound for
Boulder, Colo.
The Colorado basketball quint
arrived from New York city, where
they played in Madison Square
Garden in the first national inter
collegiate basketball tournament.
Colorado defeated New York Uni
versity in the semi-finals Of the
tourney, but lost in the finals to
Temple University.
NO BALLPLAYER
Whizzer is convinced that Tenn.
pie is a pretty fair" team. Colo
RADIO was defeated, 80 to 3S.
Asked If he sought a career in
the major leagues, White states
that he was not much Of a ball
player, and that the story pub
lished relative to his hoping for
such a tryout is erroneous.
White was interested in Sammy
Baugh, the Redskin passing star,
now with the st. Louis Cardinals.
IT understand this Baugh can
hit but can't throw" said the
All.American.
you're wrong there, 'Whiz.
Zer,' the training camp news
has 1t that Sammy can't hit.
Wait til you see him throw
those footballs this fall against
the Pirates" was the writer's
comeback.
But White wasn't tricked into
that one.
He just won't csen up.
Maybe he's saving it for George
Marshall's pro gridderS this fall.

Some Contrasts

Bonlra is % years old, whereas
Kuhel is 80.
zeke gives the Griffmen a
right-handed hitter in a lineup
surfeitted with left-handerS.
Bonura's .318 lifetime batting
average is q percentage points
better than that Of Kuhel.
The newcomer to the Washing.
ton ranks is far superior batter
in Of runs.
Kuhel is the smoother fielder.
Such are the contrasts be-
tween the two men and it seems
they tell a potent story, leaving
a decided balance in favor Of
Washington if cold facts prove a
case.
Any shortcoming in fielding
on the part Of Bonura certainly
Is to be made up for by the hits
he will bang off the barricadeS.
It is to be taken for granted
Bonura wished to come to Wash
tngton, as he has been a holdout
insofar as the White Sox were
concerned. This fact must have
helped bring the trade to a head.
Just a Starter
Meanwhile Washington has a
little farther to go in order to
make itself a real threat in the
forthcoming race, which Incl
dentally gets under way just a
month from today.
The acquisition Of Bonura is
O step in this direction but the
frantic efforts Of the club to
acquire more catching talent
and reach some decision about
its outfield is an open admission
that neither Harris nor Griffith
are satisfied to start the season
with the present personnel.
The expressed ambition Of
Goose Goslin to find a niche
for himself with washington,
retells a story that is as old as
baseball itself.
It reflects the grip which the
game takes on its minions and
the reluctance Of facing the end
of a trail that has been bril-
liant.
It can't be easy for Goslin,
nor any other ball player who
ever scaled to the heights, to see
spring approaching and not be
O part of the great procession.
Still Popular Here
And I find in Washington
considerable hope that the
Goose's application for reen-
statement may not be in vain,
for Washington's outfield Is
none too well fortified in a sec
tor with which the Goose is well
familiar.
It is a question whether 1t
would be better to have 1.-TWO
old men" available for that left
field berth, Simmons being the
other, or to rely on Simmons
and the juvenile George Wash
ington Case.
Goslin's returning here would
add considerable interest to the
coming campaign and it would
be an experiment watched with
equal zest the circuit over, as it
would within the Capital itself
Probably no man in baseball
Is so prone as Clark Griffith
to probe the last years Of a
ball players career to see if one
more good season can't be
wrung therefrom. Among the
outfielders, iris Speaker is an
example and as a matter OF
truth so is AL Simmons.
The Washington times., 1938-03-18

Kuhel trades first base posts
with a performer whose ability
to straighten out a ball while
standing at home plate has
captivated Washington fans
ever since Zeke came up from
Dallas in 1884.
The trade is tribute to the
craftinesS of Clark Griffith.
He played waiting game.
Four months ago Chicago was
demanding Kuhel and Myer for
Bonura, and much as Grtf
wanted the power hitter OF the
third-place White Sox, he re-
fused to 60 overheard.
From time to time the deal
has popped up and disappeared
Just rs quickly.
Only as late as yesterday the
final spike was supposed to have
been driven to kill the prospects
of Bonura coming here, but day
light saw a turn in the tide
when Manager Jimmy Dykes
broke the deadlock between the
clubs by offering Bonura to
Kuhel eVen-Stephen.
