By Joe Williams Clark Griffith Came Up From Ranks m m m Great Fellow, But He Likes Money • m a Nat Owner Picked Two Young Winners

YORK, Sept. 20.—Clark Griffith is what is loosely known as a self-made man. He is the only club owner in the majors who came up from the ranks. He started out as a bush league pitcher in Illinois. Now he owns the Washington ball club, American League champions of 1933_ But like a great many other self-made men. Mr. Griffith did not, from the point of view of his critics, make a complete job of it. If you look close enough it is easy to find flaws in the roofing, the flooring and the plumbing. In short, the gentleman is not perfect. And please dont ask me, who is? Early in life. Mr. Griffith developed a passionate affection for the dollar, and he never has lost it. It is very seldom that you hear the gentleman mentioned in any baseball conversation that someone doesn t crack. <that tight so and so." The popular thought seems to be that he is a cross between an auditor and an efficiency expert. Nor. if you can believe all you hear, is he a thoroughly game sport. Criticism does npt rest lightly on his sagging shoulders. You must write nice things about Mr. Griffith's ball team or he will go over your head to the brass hats. Once he demanded that an editor change baseball writers because of uncomplimentary remarks—which happened to be more accurate than adequate. a a a a a a I AM told by those who knew Mr. Griffith when he was a bush league pitcher that these manifestations are consistent. Even as a youngster you could not get him to pitch out of turn. And in business deals involving his own future, he always had the last word to say as to what he thought he was worth. Taking him by and large. I should say Mr. Griffith is not exactly a warming testimonial to the shadowy myth that baseball is a sport. But, if you are to be literal and accept the fact that baseball is merely another line of professional amusement business —which it certainly is—then you must admit tnat the man belongs. More than that, you must admit that he is very good. I have no high regard for business acumen, as such, although admitting its necessity in a world where the butcher demands cash for lamb chops. Yet I am convinced that Mr. Griffith is the most capable of all the club owners. He knows his racket from A to Z—which is to say from Anson to Zachary. a a a a a a UNTIL Mr. Griffith moved in, Washington was not a great ball town. It still isn't, measured by the standards of several other towns. But it is a better-than-average ball town, and the said gentleman has made it that—and at a minimum of cash outlay. If you know how to operate, craftiness can be more produqtive than currency. There is one thing Mr. Griffith has that none of the other* club owners can boast, and that is an uncanny ability to pick leaders. This in itself is the mark of the successful man. Two of the most radical managerial experiments in the history of baseball were authorized by Mr. Griffith. In both cases the dice rolled five-two. Naturals. It took something more than daring to name Bucky Harris manager of the team which brought championships to Washington in 1924-25. At that time, Harris was the kid member of a veteran ball club. a a a a a a EVEN a man of Mr. Griffith’s stern type can be lucky in the choice of a young, untried manager once—but what are you to say when he comes back some years later and does the same thing all over? Os course, I am referring to his appointment of Joe Cronin as manager of the current Washingtons, the youngest manager in baseball, and, like Harris, his predecessor, a novice at handling men or teams. Mr. Griffith made no mistake on Harris. And the standings of the teams reveal very clearly that he made no mistake on Cronin. Both of them came through for him. In the long history of Washington baseball, the citizens have had only three pennant-winning teams. Harris gave them two. Cronin is giving them the third. Yes. Mr. Griffith is crazy—like a fox.

Improved Local Pro Eleven Tests Cards With practically an entire new lineup, and the players in the pink of condition after a week of grueling scrimmage and practice sessions, the Indianapolis Indians pro football team today awaited the invasion of the powerful Chicago Cardinal National Pro League team, whom they will battle on the gridiron of Perry stadium tonight at 8:15. Manager C. A Sumner of the local aggregation added nearly twenty new players since the opening game last Wednesday night. Less than a dozen made the grade. Last week's game against Portsmouth proved to the local management they needed kickers, big linesmen and strong physical condition.

Terry’s Battling Giants Clinch National Flag 34-Year-Old N. Y. Pilot Cheered for Molding Pennant Winner in First New Champions Register Biggest Surprise in Years. - BY JACK CUDDY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Sept. 20.—Memphis Bill Terry and his fighting New York Giants, ugly ducklings of the 1932 season, return to the cheering big town tonight champions of the National League and heroos of the most startling major circuit upset in years. When they clinched the pennant Tuesday, these Giants stood out as the living answer to the old question, "Why is baseball the national pastime?" The American public loves a gamble, and duckling clubs like the Giants inject the dramatic uncertainty. Lucky to finish in a sixth-place tie with St. Louis last year, the Giants in April were rated by virtually all experts as going nowhere this season. They were Jcnown as the “hitless wonders.” This was the club that young Bill Terry, still trying to fit into the shoes of baseball’s Little Napoleon, John McGraw, steered to the Giants’ first pennant since 1924, when McGraw’s club lost to Washington in the world series. It was this club that brought to New York its thirteenth flag, tying Chicago’s Cubs for the major league record.

They became champions Tuesday at St. Louis, although the Cardinals beat them, 12 to 3, when secondplace Pittsburgh dropped the second game of its double-header to j the Phillies, making it mathemati- | cally impossible for the Pirates to overtake them, even if the Giants 1 lost all their nine remaining games and Pittsburgh won its remaining iseven. , Terry said the winning of the pennant was the biggest thrill of his baseball career. In his first full season as manager, and at the tender age of 34, he started from scratch and organized and directed a pennant winning team. During the winter Terry astounded the baseball world by providing one of the greatest player upheavals in the Giants’ history. Players who had been regarded as indispensable were traded wholesale. Some writers and fans accused him of wrecking the club. But Terry said, “I'm building a club Fhat will fight.” When the season opened it was an “if” club. Misfortune after misfortune assailed it, but it plugged on —bolstered by brilliant pitching from the "Big Four,” Hubbell, Schumacher, Parmelee and Fitzsimmons, with excellent relief hurling from Luque and Bell. Jackson's legs went back on him. Blondie Ryan replaced him at shortstop. He was spiked and seven straight games were lost. Then Vergez was stricken with appendicitis at Boston at the season's crisis. A telegram still remains posted on the bulletin board in the Giants clubhouse, because it symbolizes the spirit of the Terrymen. When the Giants were in their menacing western slump because of Ryan’s absence, Ryan, out of Holy Cross only a couple of years, sent Terry the wire: “They cannot beat us. Am en v \>ute.”

Sept. 20.—Aimed at disrupting “closed corporation” championship prize fights, the National Boxing Association annual convention has approved a resolution prohibiting return matches between defeated champions and their victorious challengers prior to a defense against another outstanding challenger.

Blue Ends Hard Work Butler Eleven to Taper Off for Franklin Fray Here Friday. Dwindling his practice routine down to a one-a-day schedule, Coach Fritz Mackey today will taper off his Butler Bulldogs into final shape for the opening tilt of the season with Franklin here Friday night. Thursday will be devoted entirely to skull drill and light exercises, with a possible few minutes of routine plays. The Bulldogs have been subjected to drill twice each day since they reported two weeks ago, with scrimmage coming as a final dessert at night. But with final registration Tuesday and the beginning of class worfl, Mackey reduced his drill to night sessions. Tuesday night, the Bulldogs were sent through their final dress rehearsal against a freshman aggregation that daily is becoming more valuable as training timber. The freshmen ripped through the varsity in surprising style, making the loss of Carr and Hazlewood, out with injuries, more apparent. Neither will be permitted to play Friday night. For the last week, Mackey has concentrated on overhead work, blocking and pass defense. The machine worked with increasing precision until Hazlewood and Carr went out. Aerial work was shunted to Pete Ray and Ralph Simpson, with Bob Stewart back in the lineup for a ball-carrying assignment. The Ray-to-Simpson combination probably will be worked in the Friday tilt, with Jim and Bob Stewart completing the backfield unit.
