GRIFFITH AND GOWDY ARE GIVEN PRAISE.

Big league baseball owes more ■ to Clark Griffith than It ever ; will pay him. With the keen foresight that has been char- < acterlstlc of hls team managing ■ he organized last season hls bat : and ball fund for our soldiers In ; France. It has been a treme* ' dons success, and Is now carry ; Ing on under Its own momem ' turn. Yet It required much of ; Griff’s time last season, when he gave days of quiet, earnest ; effort to making it succeed. Offhand, Hank Gowdy’s glorl- ' ous career and Griffith’s bat and fall fund will strike most fans ; as baseball’s foremost gift to the cause. —Louis Lelarms, in New York Tribune.
