Griffith, Barnes
Will Talk Trade
Here Monday
HurIer Leonard Key
To Swap; Night PIoy
Increase Denied
By BURTON HAWKINS.

Clark Griffith returned to his
succeed Office today with no more
help for his Washington baseball
club than when he deserted the vii
lage Monday e1ening for the an
nual winter meeting of the major
leagues at Chicago, but the talk
ing he did there may have its effect
later.
Monday, for instance, President
Don Barnes of the St. Louis Browns
will pay Griffith a visit here. For
two hours yesterday at Chicago, he
and Griffith were closeted, but ac-
cording to Griffith when they de-
parted they weren't close to making
a trade
Barnes still is seeking Pitcher
Dutch Leonard of the Mats and
Griffith wants Third Baseman Har-
lond Cliff of the Browns. They are
the principal figures in a deal that
may materialize later, but the ac-
cesSories to such swap haven't
been determined.
Doesn't Want to Trade.
Griffith still processes he is un-
willing to part with Leonard and
Outf1elders George Case and Stan
Spence, but to get what he wants
a third baseman, an outflelder and
a shortstop. in that order-he may
be forced to trade Leonard.
"I don't want to trade" snorts
Griffith. I'D like to buy. but every
time l open my mouth these other
fellows start talking about Leonard,
Case or Spence. I don't want to get
rid of the good players I have. l
want to add to them
Proposed by the Browns has been
q deal that would send Pitcher FL
den Auker and Infielder Ed Dill
linger of Toledo to the Mats for
Leonard and Infelder Jimmy Po-
fahl. who would be sent to Toledo
Dillinger, who hit 305 last season
Is likely to be drafted but Grltnth
admits he may be interested II Dill
linger hasn't been summoned into
the service by spring.
Would Replace Sullivan.
Griffith attempted without sue
cess to land Outfielder Roy Wealth
erly of Cleveland and Babe Dahl
gren. former Yankee inf1elder who
now is the property of the. BROOKLYN
Dodgers. Cleveland off1cials aren't
interested in parting with Wealth
erly, and Grifflthc lost interest in
Dahlgren when he learned he is
likely to be drafted. Grifftths pur-
suit of a shortstop is a mild surprise
but he nevertheless is seeking a
replacement for young Johnny Sui
livan. Even If the Mats locate a
more talented shortstop, Sullivan Is
likely to be retained, for Manager
Ossie Bluege feels he requires only
experience to become smooth per-
former.
Washington will view no more
night games next season than it
did last season. The American
League had granted Griffith per-
mission to play % games, but 'es-
terday at a joint meeting Of the
leagues the National League vetoed
the idea. That left the fate of the
number of night games in Wash
ington up to Kenesaw Mountain
Lands, commissioner of baseball,
and he ruled the Mats could play
no more than 81.
The Mats thus came out of the
meeting empty handed and some
what disappointed in failing to boil
Ster themselves. If nothing else,
though, they did lot Of talking
that may produce results before
Barnes escapes the Capital next

Evans Is Given
Southern Job
Minor MoguIs Irked
By Scott Bring Bill

BY JUDSON BAILEY,
Associated Press Sports Write.


CHICAGO, Dec. 4.-The minor
leagues took basebalrs winter show
away from the majors today and the
choicest topic of conversation was
not the business facing the conven-
ton, but the startling switch of
Southern Association presidents
which brought Billy Evans back into
baseball
1t was the most dramatic story in
many years of minor league meet
ings. And it came about because
train was late.
All day yesterday Evans. former
general manager of the Cleveland
Indians and Boston Red Sox, and
for % years an American League
umpire, was Just another famous job
hunter among the milling mob Of
baseball men in the hotel lobby.
Trammell Scott, who had headed
the Southern Association for five
years and was a member Of the
Executive Committee of the National
Association of Professional Baseball
Leagues for two, still was the presi-
dent of his league and no one sus-
pected a change-least of all Evans.
Scott had left Atlanta on train
due here at 1::0 pm. and intended
to preside over the Southern meet
ing at 4 pm, but when his club
owners convened, Scott had not been
heard from and some of the men,
bers, disgruntled for various reasons
over past incidents, recalled seeing
Evans on the scene for several days
They knew he was at liberty be-
cause Evans had come to the meet
ing rather expecting to become pres
ident of the American Association
while George Trautmann was or
leave of absence as colonel with
| the Specialist Corps of the Army
But the Specialist Corps recently
was disbanded and on Tuesday wher
| the Army accepted his resignation
he returned to the presidency of the

Unless Laval is able TO deliver
the goods for Germany in the nea-

more extreme collabora zionist,
such as Jacques Doriot the eX-Com-
munist who turned Fascist.
Laval however, is expected TO
make a final effort to please the
Germans. He is said TO be con-
WINGED that Germany cannot be de-
feated. He is so bitterly anti-Brit,
ish that he has said IL would be
terrible calamity for France if
Great Britain and Russia won the
