CHICAGO, Dec. 11.-A six-man
delegation representing the Mats will
arrive here tomorrow with instruc-
tions from President Clark Grlfhtn
that every member of the Washing
ton baseball club may be considered
a. trading material during the j.
day major league meeting starting
on Monday.
"It's no secret that I want pitch
srs," said Griffith in Washington
after he had abandoned plans to
attend the meeting when he caught
cold. Most of the offers we've had
30 far have been for First Baseman
Mickey Vernon and Pitchers Walter
Masterson and Early Wynn. Wen
let 'em 20 If we get what we want.
"1 wouldn't be worried about our
club for next season If we had a
couple of good pitchers" continued
Griffith. "If Vernon is traded it will
be for pitchers, even if I have to
play Earl Wooten at first base. Our
pitching last season was terrible" ,"
1t is unlikely that Wooten, an out
fielder and first baseman who hopes
to be converted into a pitcher, will
play first base for the Mats in 1949.
Griffith has made overtures for
First Baseman Eddie Robinson OF
Cleveland, who probably will be in
rh,ded in any deal made with the
Indians.
Griffith indicated Wynn's days as
q Nat are numbered. Il think a
change of scenery would help
WYNN" admitted Griffith, but I'm
not going to give him away. We're
going to make any trade we feel
will benefit the club. Every man or
the squad is available in deal, but
I would prefer to stick with such
Youngsters as AL Kozar, Eddie Yost
Sam Dente, Gil Coan, Dick Wei
teroth and Dick Weik. And it would
have to be a very attractive Offer
for me to part with Ray Scarbor'
ough."
Vice President Calvin Griffith
Manager Joe Kuhel, Farm Direc-
tor Ossje Bluege and Scout Joe
Cambria attended the minor league
meeting at Minneapolis with the
idea of negotiating with clubs in
terested in Vernon, Masterson ano
Wynn. They will be joined here by
Secretary Edward B. Eynon anc
Bucky Harris, the former New York
Yankees manager.
Harris will be functioning in 6
semiofficial capacity for the Mats
He has been assured by Griffith
that unless he is approached will

cation will be created for him.

1t was sweet revenge for the Capt.
