Just as certain as that today Is
income-tax day, Joe Kuhel Is
finished with the Washington Ma
tionals. He will be moved along
to some other team If any deal
that conceivably might help the
Griffs Is offered. The sole condi-
ton fencing that statement Is
that Jimmy WaSdell, the rookie
first baseman, fails to make good.

Kuhel?" we asked Bucky Harris
today.
well, he'll play some games"
Harris answered. He has to
have his chance"
What about Jimmy Was
dell?" we asked Harris.
BONURA DEAL?
At that very moment Wasdel1
exploded a line drive off his bat.
The ball rode in majestic flight
to deep right and hit the fence on
a short hop. Wasdell cheered in
glee and waved his bat aloft.
"I held on with both hands,"
he shouted, referring to the IN.
structionS received from Harris
and Clyde Milan.
Harris grinned slowly, puffed on
a cigarette, and said:
"Wasdell will play some
games. Then he will play more
games and more games. He will
play until he proves to me that
he is not a major league ball
player"
"What about Kuhel2" asked
Griffith.
Hes a great ball player"
came the standard form / re.
ply. IT haven't heard from Chi
cago, and won't call them"
IF they call you?" I de-
manded.
GREAT HITTER
"Bonura is a great hitter"
said the old fox. Ought to
drive in $50 runs a season. He'd
help our club, but don't say I
said anything like that"
Wasdell thinks he will make the
grade without the slightest doubt.
He Is on record as saying that
he would open the season on first
base, and that once stationed on
the bag would remain there.
Just so far as the official Wash.
ington family is concerned, Was
dell is the first baseman and
Kuhel is a baseball chattel to be
moved any place where the In.
terests Of the team will be served
to greatest advantage. A high
handed power hitter, a good pitch
er or good hitting catcher would
be accepted in trade for Kuhel,
whose worst fault is his quiet dis
position and lack Of what fans
call color.
