N. Y. GETS NATIONALS TO GET PITCHER MOGRIDGE AND LEWIS IN DEAL No Cash Involved, Says "Old Fox;" Figures He Got Best of Swap. By JACK XTB. Clark Griffith determination to strengthen the Nationals for the I com American League campaign became more than a mere New Year resolution last night when the presidentmanager announced that the muoh-talked-of deal with the New York Jankees was an actual reality.

Bobby Roth. Washington right fielder and champion voyageur of the league, has been traded to Manager Miller Huggins for Outfielder Duffy Lewis, once a teammate of Tris Speaker and Harry Hooper in II fend Oeorge Mogridge. southpaw slabber of the Yankee staff. It was an out-and-out trade, no money changing hands, according to 1 Griffith. It has been no secret that Roth, who did not fit Into the Griffith machine, would not be back on the payroll next season, and Huggins was known to think rather highly of "BraggoV ability.

By exchang ing his outfielder for another gardener of ability, despite the fact that he has reached the veteran stage, and a fairly capable southpaw. Griff flatters that he has done a good day's work. Lewis Hits in Plncfces. Duffy Lewis was 'no whirlwind with the Yanks last year; he was out for a time with, a sprained ankle and participated in but 107 Still, he proved that'his old fielding skill had not left hlra and was a dangerous pinch hitter. In slugging the ball the Yankee outfielder fell slightly behind Roth, with an average of .275 as com- pared to .290 for the Washington man.

Roth, also had an edge in rapping them for extra bases and showed a lot more speed on the I bases. Bobby pilfered twenty-four while Lewis. falling into the fiat-footed habit of the entire Yankee team, stole only two. On the other hand Lewis' disposition will be an improvement over that of Roth and he should prove ef more real value to the Nationals. His pinch httting will help a lot and he can snag the high ones with as much skill and grace as any man In the business.

Mverldfff Help. Griffith also expects to profit by the acquisition of Mogridtfr, who is a capable southpaw, even though his record last season was sensational. Mogridge is a lefthander who is blessed" with control 1 and his chief worth to the Yanks last season was as a finisher. There were also several teams upon which he appeared to have the Indian 1 sijrn. Boston.

St. Louis and Philadelphia usually had hard time beating him. Mogridge won five and lost nine 1 battles last year, though he took part in games. He was taken out In efght of them and was a relief man in quite a few. Tn the earned run column his wafc 4.32 a game, which was about oh a par with the average of the Nai tional slabbers.

Keeping the ball over the plate was one thing the Yankee pitcher was able to do. He issued but 36 walks in 26 games. Gneu Roth Is Tickled. Playing for a New York club is usually the ambition of most players and Roth will probably not be sorry that he can again become a teammate of Babe Ruth, as he was 1 with the Red Sox in 1919. Bobby came to the Nationals last winter in a deal wherein Griffith traded Mike Menosky, Harry Harper and Eddie for Roth and Shannon.

Shannon failed to be of much benefit to the Nationals and was eventually sent to Philadelphia for the waiver price. Roth played through the season, doing splendid work at times, though his fielding was never up to par. He found it hard to go back fast on a hard hit ball and was also' weak on drives near his shoetops. This traie is probably not the last that Griffith will pull off before the season starts. He is still on the lookout for a third sacker and, I as money no longer appears to talk 1n baseball, it is probable that the i infielder will be secured by the me dlum of a trade.

More reinforceW ments for the pitching staff may also be landed. With the addition of Lewis and the strong probability that Bing Miller will be awarded to the the outfield problem no longer appears to be a complicated affair. 3 SCHOOL QUINTS GET ACTION TODAY Three local high school teams will get into action today when Central battles a quint composed of former stars of the Mt.

SOLDIERS BATTLE FOR TITLE TODAY i i Shorty McCann Meets Chick Kansas Finish Bout At Myer. I The Fort Myer Riding Hall will be the mecca of hundreds of Wash-h ington boxing fans 1 who will journey across the Poto- mac to watch the Eastern army 4 feather-weight championship bat- tie between Shorty McCann, of the Virginia post, and Chick Kansas. of Camp Hoiabird, present holder of the title. These two clever sol- dier battlers are scheduled to fight ten rounds as the -feature attraction the most ambitious boxing pro- ever arranged in local army circles.

Sergt. Frank Stacey, of Camp Hoiabird, will meet Kid Halderman. of Fort Myer. in the semi-ftnal event. This bout is listed for eight McCann.

Fort Myer's hope in the main bout, is sure to meet a real test when he steps into the squared eirrh" wwr Chick The Hoiabird boy is a real battler. At infighting he is an adept and carries one of the meanest short arm jabs ever flashed in this neck of the woods. Fans who have seen him work declare, that hts little sixInch shots are as dangerous as the average fighter's stmffcht-from-the- 1 floor punch. His backers admit that i when he hits 'em they stays hit and his last seven fights in which he scored as many Just about prove the assertion. i However, McCann has been primed especially for this battle and may 1 cross the dope.

If you listen i the Fort Myer boys McCann is an I easy winner, in fact he's "in" al- ready. Verbally both sides are put- ting up a wicked front but this afternoon someone will drop a "30- 3') end all" into the chatter arttl then the referee frill announce the win- ner Kid Chicarico. of Camp Hoiabird. will tackle Gergt. the boxing Instructor at Meade, in a dash which fs cxpected to be worth Another six-round scrap between Jark Anderson and Bat Tarkenton snd three four-round preltms complete the classy card for the day.

Numerous frid stars of the flrit rater will be sees is actios fternoon at American Leacue rhen the Kslckerbookera, Ions of the District, battle the fast ad powerful Richmond lub eleven for the championship of he South. The fame, la effect, will a battle of stars, as the aajority of players on both re men who hsve made football Istory at various colleges and unferslties In the South Atlantic Ion.

Football fans, especially thosa rho have followed the grid game 'or the Isst seven or eight rill And many names In today line- ips which were names to conjune rlth In days gone by. Both teams lave been loaded with college tlnce early In the season, and botti 4 levenl have played together ta nough games eo thst when thejr rlash this afte-noon It will not nerely a battle of brawn and' weight, but rather two well-oiled nachines fighting to the finish from vhlstle to whistle with the eleven hat flashes the best teamwork the winner. Kiilrka Oatwelfhe4. The Knlcks will be somewhat outweighed. according to the line-ups the two teams given out by the rival managers last night.

The oral are giving away about iwenty pounds to the man, snd are undoubtedly meeting the claaeleat team they have faced this season. Records of the two teams practicslly nothing so far as today's battle Is concerned. The Routheraprs have beaten every team they 4 lave met this year, except Jin Thorpe's by whon. they re defeated 39 to 0. I However, the Richmond boys irsve I the Indian and his cohorts a much I harder battle than Jhe score indl- Thorpe, himself.

declarer af- ter the game that the Virginians were one of the best five lent teams In the country. I Defeated Vtexmea, 1S-0. I Outside of the loss to the BuTTdogs the Richmond eleven rolled up a total score of 240 points to nothing for their opponents In nine Of these clashes one was with the Preadnaught A of Alr-xandria. and another with the Rexmen. of Washington, who wei? stopped by a II to score.

This jl game with the Rex men Is the only for a comparison of the twt elevens meeting today, as it Is the ifl only team which was met by bota ifl the Knicks and the Virginians 9 The results of the and Richmond-Rex gasnes. all things considered, give neither team th? HI edge. Though the Virginians, with I their 19 to 0 win. defeated the Rex- men by a slightly larger score th did the Knicks. who won 14 ta there are which meke both games practically even.

The Ilexmen went South for their beat- I with their regular team. When I they fated the Knicks they were a slightly padoed with stars from va- rious other independent teams la this section and college players were seen in their line-up who did I not play against the Southerners. In addition the Richmond team fl had twenty minutes longer In which to make their additional five points I as fifteen-minute quarters were played in the southern town whils I each period in the Knlrks-Rex game here was only ten minutes.
