Cincinnati has yet to beat Chicago

In Protest of Yonks' Sale of Borowy to Cubs

MacPhail should be "fairer' to the
American League.
Terming the Borowy case with
out precedent in baseball" Griffith
told a reporter he asked for a
change in the waiver rule at last
winters meeting. Had 1t been
adopted then, the Borowy incident
would not have happened, he COM
mented.
Under the existing rule, waivers
may be asked on a player any num-
Der of times. Griffith said, adding
that club owners don't claim star
players because you know you're not
going to get them they'll be
withdrawn"
Borowy slipped out Of the Amer
ican League, he said. because the
Yankees have been asking waivers
on everybody on their club"
Grifith admitted that the Yam

of the present waiver rule" but said
it still might be detrimental to
baseball

agreed that Qualification" of the

MacPhail, in New York, termed
Griffith's protest as pretty silly.

alibi. As a matter of fact. Mr.. Grit

The Yank president added that
