Griffith Asks For Waivers On Hurler Washington. July 8 iUP) Enraged president Clark Griffith of the Washington Senators today asked waivers on Mickey Haefner, lefthanded pitcher he ordered out of uniform for an "Indifferent per- ■ formative" last night. Griffith instructed manager Joe Kuhel to leave Haefner la-hind as , the team left here for New York for a series against the Yankees beginning tonight. "Haefner never will wear a Washington uniform again," Griffith said "He will he either sold, traded or , released outright. I am asking waiv- ( ers on him." The incident which drew the 73- ( year-old club president s ire came In the first Inning of the game a- 1 gainst the Boston Bed Sox Boston . pitcher Chuck Stobbs hit a slow , roller with the liases loaded and two opt. Haefner went over to the first base line to field it, fumbled the ball and Bobby Hoerr scored . from third Haefner then threw wild to third in a vain attempt to ] get Bill Goodman, who had over- < run the bag from second. Boston won the game 8 to 3. as- i| j ter scoring five runs on two hits in h that first inning. , Haefner, who was the losing pit |< cher in the game and now has aL record of five wins and five defeats I for the season, protested. "I was I ( handling a slippery ball." ' He added: i "I am not squawking if they want j to let me gp I want to lie respectful to Mr. Griffith. But nobody can say I ever dogged It. I didn't dog it to- ; night. I “I'll let the Washington fans | judge me on my record It’s Mr. ' Griffith's ball team and he can run it anyway he likes. Hut I never diu give this club anything but my best.” Haefner has lost four games in a row and hasn't completed one I since May 26. Before that.'however.
