More Talent for Mats
Besides KuheI Now
Sought by Griff

His long-vexing frSt base problem
may be settled for the time being,
but Clark Griffith will go after more
help for the Mats when major base
ball holds its annual meetings in
New York next week.
Getting Joe Kuhel back from the
Chicago White Sox, where he had
spent six seasons after being traded
by the Washington club for Zeke
Bonura, gives the Mats a crack
fielder around the initial sack even
though Joe's hitting is nothing to
boast about. The Mats, though,
should get along without added hit

likely to be inducted into the armed

Early and Angelo Giuliani.
Deals Will be Costly.
While he appears to have much in
stock, especially pitchers and out
fielders, to dangle before prospective
traders in New York, Griffith will
proceed cautiously in his dealing.
He doesn't want to give up any of
his more valuable chattels to make
a swap, but he seems to be on a spot
where he will be forced to do just
that.
Griffith struck a bargain in bring
ing Kuhel back to Washington. He
had expected to have the White Sox
interests hold him up for a fancy
lot OF playing talent in exchange for
the veteran first baseman, but sur
prisingly he got him for the waiver

was bought from Kansas City by the
Mats in 1880 he carried q $65, 900
