Personally President Baugh does not expect Griffith to buy. but the foxy" one may come just the same.
 While Griffith's wire yesterday W wis the first open intimation that he would like to acquire the local franchise, 1t is very probable that he has been giv- ing the matter thought for some time.
 Several days ago Bill Smith of At- lanta wanted to know If the franchise was for sale.
 In view of Smiths close attachment to Griffith, it is now believed that his question was propounded in behalf of the ex-High lander.
 Were Griffith to acquire the club it is very probable that his acquaintance with the major leaders would result in Birmingham having a ma agnificent az gregation next season.
