Likely Trade

So here's what may develop
by long distance telephone. Of
course, it may not happen. I
can't tell you what two base.
bali traders will do when they
get at the ends Of telephone
wires that span the country, but
I'd make this trade If I could.
Griffith wants Bonura, and
Dykes will take Kuhel. We have
at least an approach to the sit
uation there. But Dykes wants
q second baSeman; wants Buddy
Myer. All right, give him Myer.
Buddy is approaching that dead
line, in baseball when even the
greatest must retire. But de-
mand Mike Kreevick, the right
handed hitting outfielder, who
batted 1902 last year, drove in
73 bases, batting in the lead-off
position for a good part Of the
year, and made his 176 hits good
for 273 bases.
Giving Myer would open an
other channel. 'Griff or Harris
might demand an infielder, and
II an. impasse developed, it
would be possible to offer John
ny Mihalic in exchange for Bozie
Berger or Jackie Hayes, both Of
whom. area fine fielders, al
though not so good at the home
plate. Mihalic is no bearcat
with the stick.

Walker Fills Gap

Kreevich would not be missed
IN Chicago now that the White
Sox have acquired Gerry Walker
from the Detroit Tigers. He
would make a great player for
Washington. He is 28, fast, and
q fine thrower. He is one
Of the strongest defensive ele-
mentS on the White Sox team.
It might be possible that
Dykes would demand a pitcher.
AL right, give him a pitcher
Of the second line. The start
ing five will not be traded for
the time being, and the rest Of
them do not come under the
heading Of men over whom to
worry.
Nov understand that this
whole piece is predicated upon
nothing more official than my
own idea Of the situation. I
don't know that President Grit
nth would even consider this
trade as outlined. Nor is there
any assurance that Dykes would
make the idea, but fans of two
major league cities are talking
out loud in favor Of the swap.
Fans ''Fed Up"
I do know that WASHINGTON
3a1s are fed up on waiting for
some youngster to develop
Johnson's speed and the hit
ting power Of a second Gehrig.
I know that letters from read.
ers OF this column pour into
Orlando demanding that some
thing be done to strengthen
the team. These letter writer's
are the backbone of the Wash
ington Times and of the Wash
1ngton Baseball team. They are
the voice Of Washington, and
boys, the writer is listening to
everything you say.
'How do you know that
Chase and Krakauskas are
gOing to make winning pitch
ers?" demands one reader.
I don't know that they will
make winning pitchers. I hope
they will. If Chase and Kra.
kauskas revert to their minor
league form the Griffs will be
sunk. Chase won 5 and lost
IL with Chattanooga, and Kra-
kauskas won IA and lost 10
with Trenton. But we have to
assume upon what we've seen
that both boys have improved.
Only time and the enemy bats
will disclose the extent of their
improvement.
Just to keep the record
straight, it may be said that
the average Of the Washington
ball club over a long period Of
years, is better than any Of its
rivals except the New York
Yankees.

President Clark Griffith Of
the Nationals is stalling when
he says that he is glad he didn't
trade for Bonura last year.
Strictly in a baseball sense that
was one of the prize boners Of
the "Old Fox's" career. Kuhel
batted .283 in 136 games, and
drove in 81 runs. Bonura batted
.345 In 416 games and drove IN
100 runs.
Now Dykes accuses Griffith
Of wanting all the best Of any
trade. And Griff makes the
same charge against Dykes.
Dykes wants a second baseman:
Griffith wants to build on
youth. Griffith wants right
