I—(United1 —(United Press) Tris Speaker, former manager of the Cleveland Indans, will play center field for the Washington Senators thia season. The veteran outfielder, who refused an offer of the New York Yankees because he didn’t want to warm a bench, will be used to bolster up the Washington tarn, which has its eyes upon the pennant. A long distance call from Clark Griffith, president of the Washington team, caught Tris at his hotel shortly after His conference yesterday with Miller Huggins, of the Yankees, and Tris accepted. What salary the Washington executive offered. Tris declined to say. “It was sufficient,’’ he explained. "P.tsides. it wasn’t a bidding proposition. The Yankees were eager to get mr, but 1 accepted the Senators’ proposition because it was more suitable,” Speaker said. Speaker thus ended the baseball drama —>it was really hardly more than a farce—which for a time threatened to end the brilliant career of the man who played more than 20 years of baseball. The meeting between Huggins and Speaker ended disastrously for the Yankee mentor. Huggins outlined whai he considered a good proposition to the “Gray Eagle.” but he was forced to admit that he couldn’t afford to break up his star outfield combination of Ruth, Meusel and Combs. Speaker, he suggested, was to be held in reserve, playing occasionally and to star as a pinch hitter. But Speaker, despite his years and graying hair, admitted he had no desire to play the role of a utility after year's of stardom.. Bucky Harris, manager of the Senators. can use Speaker to advantage in his outfield. I o Wabash Swamp Franklin *ln Whirlwind Game, 47-33 ■Franklin, Ind., Feb.
