campaign is okay to two members
of the Mats at least. Signed papers
have been returned to President
Clark Grifhth,s office by Mickey
| Haefner and Vernon Curtis-both
pitchers-and more are expected
soon.
The knuckle balling Haefner-
half of the Mats left-handed hurl-
ing staff-was the clubs best last
season in winning percentage ano
earned-run yield. He won IL ano
lost just for rating of 688 and
gave up but 229 earned runs pei
nine innings, according to the
American Leagues official figures
This placed him fifth in both re-
spects among the circuits pitchers
Curtis is the right-hander the
Mats got from Atlanta of the South
ern Association in exchange for
$4,000 and another pitcher. He
was here for time last fall, but
because of illness was permitted to
go home before the season closed
Curtis was deemed the best young
prospect in the Southern loop, and
much is expected of him in big time
Both Haefner and Curtis have
been doing essential work since the
close of the last baseball campaign,
Mickey in the mines near his New
Athens Ill) home and Vernon in a
Southern war products plant.
No Infielders in Sight.

Ossie Bluege haven't been able to

experienced players and a slender
lot of little better than saldlot tai

Vets remaining are Joe Kuhel, first
baseman back after long stay with
the Chicago White Sox: George
Myatt, substitute second-sacker the
greater part of last season; Johnny
Sullivan, shortstop, and Harlond
Cliff, third-sacker laid low by a
mumps attack shortly after his
transfer from the ST. Louis Browns.
Bluege wants two extra hands
around for the inner Gordon so he
and the big boss are searching
everywhere. Waiver lists-and they
are scant these days, Bluege says
are gone over carefully, but to date
with no results. In fact, infielders
are what the waiver lists don't carry
these days.
And if they did. we'd be lucky to
grab an infielder from one of them" "
Ossie said yesterday. After finish
ing second last year the Mats would
have to wait until six other clubs
had their pick. AS things are now,
the lists probably would be swept
clean before we got a whack at any,
thing"
Kuhel Expects Good Year.
Kuhel has written to Griffith, ex-
pressing pleasure over being brought
back to the Mats and confidence
in his ability to help them this
year. You know I always have
looked on Washington as my home
town in the big leagues, for it was

coming up from Kansas City,
Kuhel wrote. Il am happy to be
