ORLANDO, Fla, Mar. Is
President Clark Griffith of the
Mats is looking in the direction of
the Boston Red Sox and the New
York Yankees-he wants some of
their pitchers. But he's the pa
tient type.
The Mats can use plenty of as
sistance in the pitching depart
ment, where they have been woe
fully inept so far on the eXhibi-
tion circuit. The Washington
hurlers are expected to receive
more punishment the next few
days. They have to face the
Yankees tomorrow at st. Peters,
burg, the st. Louis Cardinals
there Friday, Cincinnati in Tampa
Saturday, the Detroit Tigers here
Sunday and the Red Sox in Sara
sofa Monday.
Griffith Is willing to wait for a
boost in his pitching stock until
the Red Sox and Yankees are
forced to trim their rosters. Then
he hopes to step in and grab some
bargains at the $4,000 waiver
price. With his own farm sys-
tenn currently unproductive he's
set to snatch whatever New York
and Boston doesn't keep.
Deadline Is May 18.
There may a hitch in his plans,
though. Major league clubs aren t
commanded to cut their player
lists to Is until a month after
the season opens. This year the
deadline is May 18 and by that
time If the Mats aren't nestled in
the American League basement
they lose an advantage.
AS of the moment, and until
April 18, the Mats get first claim
on any player placed on the
waiver list due to finishing eighth
last year. Thereafter it's on a
day-to-day basis and if the st.
Louis Browns, for instance, stag
ger along in the cellar instead of
the Mats the Browns would have
first crack at players on the
waiver list.
We're scouting the Yankees
and Red Sox," Griffith confesses.
Were looking over the pitchers
they ARE likely to place on the
waiver list so that We'll know
what we want. The Red Sox have
81 pitchers in camp and they'll
have to let some of them go. They
can farm some players out on
option, of course, but there are
others they'll have to keep or ask
waivers on"
Griffith particularly is inter-
ested in New York's Don Johnson
"a 23-year-old right handler who
had a cant miss" tag placed on
him when the Yankees brought
him to spring training in 1947
He has been farmed out three
years and New York must retain
him or ask waivers.
Harris High on Johnson.
johnson has been involved in
all trade talk between the Mats
and Yankees. Manager Bucky
Harris has been so high on him,
in fact, that the New York bosses
decided to take a prolonged look
at him themselves.
johnson possessed an 8-14 rec
ord with Sacramento last season,
but Harris is convinced that with
regular work he'd be effective. A
6-3, 200-pounder, Johnson first
attracted attention in 1943 when
he won 20 games and lost one
for the Rincon Hill American
Legion Club in Portland, Oreg.,
pitching six no-hitters in the pro-
cess. "
Earlier this year the Mats had
an opportunity to get a Red Sox

That does not 60 In the
White House, however.
The President signs and
signs and signs.
There formerly was an ex-
ception. Specially designated
clerks in the General Land
Office-now known as the
Bureau of Land Management
affixed the Presidents
name to land patents, official
vernacular for deeds. That
procedure passed out of exist
ence by law in l948. when
Congress decided that the
documents would be just as
good without a presidential
imprimatur.
Andrew Jackson was re-
sponSible for the single de-
parture from custom and,
while history doesn't record
the reason. 1t Is likely that
he just got tired.
At any rate, in 1888, the
seventh President issued an
order permitting the Secre-
tary of the Interior to apply
the presidential signature to
patents. Naturally, the task
fell on the lower echelons.
Mrs. Ruth Palley was the
last "ghost-writer" in Land
Management.
Herbert Hoover also cut
down on his writing chores by
authorizing the secretaries of
the armed services to sign
officer commissions in their
own names. There were about
$4,000 of these at the last
session of Congress, starting
with graduates of West Point
and Annapolis and ending
with top brass. Looking over
these figures no doubt
prompts President Truman to
give thanks for President
Hoover's foresight.
In the old days, these COM
missions were written on
parchment; the ink didn't dry
very fast and when there was
a big batch of them, they
were strewn around the exec
utive offices like a collection
of wet wash, until there was
no further danger of the ink
running.
