TItE WASHINGTON TIMES, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1912. Clafk Griffith Will Attend Annual Meeting With View to Bolstering Ltne-bp - S 1 TRACK GAMES UY BE HELD THIS YEAR AT HILLTOP FIELD South Atlantic Intercollegiate Outdoor Meet May Take Place Here May 3. Tcnncy Sets An AVful Pace for Y. M. C. A. Boys to Race SEEK TO BETTER IT Trades Will Be Sought ,. Which Will Improve the Team. 12 NATIONALS PBESEf GOOD HITTER AND PITCHER ARE NEEDED Red Sox Is Only American League Club That Will' Stand ".. -Pat. By "SENATOR." Trades sod rumors of trades should occupy the mention of every baseball rlter attending the annual meetings of the major leagues In New York next month, for mel n'lgh every club in the big show has one or two men It will uso to get some others considered moro desirable.' And'thoso clubs' which have lew to use In trades will seek to pur chaso needed athletes. Of this latter class, Washington Is ono of the lead rs. Manager rjrirflth will go to New York bent upon obtaining one hitter and one steady pitcher. If ho can get these two players, he may change that lugu brious grin of his for a real smile, for then ho may consider the Climbers in the race. Without them well. It'll be a right, with the Nationals nlwss In the race, but never quite Ihero with the goods. So far as known today, but one club In the Atnqrlcan. League will stand pat on Its line-up of 1912, tho world's champion- Red Sox. "and that program may result tn a new title-holder In October. 1913. The other clubs are not going to rest content with their mitke-up of 1911 They are all out to strom-then their teams, nnd unless Jimmy McAlcer shifts his Ideas, he may wako up about next August to nnd his champions too far behind to como nnjuhc.ro with that fi nal rush to the top Need Several Men. Griffith needs several men t,o keep his Climbers In the struggle for the pennant next season. Tlicio Is little senso in predicting pcrinants for tho Nationals o long as they have their present line up. They did tho best they could last j ear, and llnlshed behind the leaders It Is all ery well to say that the Red Sox had good luck in not meeting with Injuries, but how about that win ning streak? Didn't that go for toward keeping tho Climbers In tho race? If tho Ilrd Sox vvcro lucky, so vvcro the Climbers. Tho Climbers' greatest needs today nro hitters and ut least ono steady pltehci who can take bis turn with Johnson and Groom. Perhaps Carl fashion may be the pitcher to tome through, but he Is er green nnd m.iy quire more time before assuming his ilghtful rank. He gained In skill great 1v this past season, but ho Is still un tenable. . Hitters bring pennants. Orlfflth has few of them. Perhaps he may find ono rood hitting outfielder In the bunch to be tried out at Charlottesville If ho docs, ho will be fortunate, for they aro scarce, these hitters. Laporte Too Slow. Frank Laporte, a sweet hitter, Is too (low to play In the infield of a real championship oggrtgatlon and Manager ( Griffith IUU31 nnu n ci.issy piajer m succeed him. Hay Morgan has a way of fizzling out and mnv not last out tho coming season. However, the Ualtimoro boy did well Hst jear nd Is entitled to the first crack at tho place La porte's hitting Is good enough to kctp him with the team, at least. Of the large staff ot pitchers, all aro unknown, but Johnson, Groom, Hughes, J and Cushion remaps sumo oi inu others may produce the goods, but they hao et to do so Lngcl'H wildncss, resulting from his south and Inexperi ence, make him impossible- O.illla suf fers from tho sime drawback. Tho others aro unknown. Thus It may be seen that Manager Griffith will be onu of tho busy little bees at the big meectlng of tho moguls In New York. No man in Washington appreciates better than Griffith tho weaknesses of tho Climbem. nnd no man in Washington Is more desirous of strengthening tho team and bringing the flag to the Capital His work Is cut out for him In 1913 and he knows It Other Clubs, Too. Other clubs, too, nro In the market Connlo Mack wants several new faces on tho Athletics, and mnv bo willing to jinrt with "Chief" nender and Ilube Oldrlng to got them .Then, too, Ira Thomas Is not nt all certain of holding his pluce with tho White- Llcphants If Schnng makes good, there will Iiaidly be roi'n for the veteran Inckstop Jimmy Callahan has a large squad to use In tiadlng. and will ceitalnlv llgiirc In somo of the deals scheduled for the meeting Perhaps "lluek" O Hrlon will cost the White Sox ft couple of voting-ste-rs Cortalnlv the Chicago pitching staff can bo hetteied. ...
