has already been bought and paid for.
the city park commissioners made a
special effort in the legislature last
winter to secure the passage by that

successful. and the city now has the

CLARKE CRFF7TH'S BRAINS
WE'RE AWAY IN EVIDENCE

an average of $50 balls in game,
it can be seen that this was some
thing of an advantage. If the oppo-
sition was not watching him every
minute "Griff' was liable to be
anywhere from one foot to three or
four closer to the plate.
"Griff" was foxy enough to cover
this up. too, when the inning was
over. Naturally, when stealing a
few feet this way he would dig a
hole in the ground around the rub
Der, which could be readily seen by
the opposing twirler, SO after the
third man had been retired "Griff"
used to stand in the box and in
rather distracted way scratch
around the ground he had Tug up
with his spikes, making it smooth
and even, and in this way cover
up his work.
The "Old Boy" got away with
this for a good many years, and
even though the umpires would
make him stop it for an inning or
two he would be right back doing
the same thing again, if not
watched closely.
Clark's fingers were short, and
this made it hard for him to get a
good, firm grip on the ball, espe-
cially when pitching curve.
In order to roughen the ball so
that he could get firm hold of the
sphere he used to hit the ball
against the spikes on the heel of
his shoes.
This would nick the ball and
roughen it to the extent of allowing
him to get good grip on the pill
Any time an umpire would call him
for doing this, "Griff' would just
say: II am trying to get the dirt
out of my spikes" and keep right
on until he had the ball in such
shape that he could handle it.

Clark Griffith, the new manager
of the Reds. was considered one oil
the best pitchers in the business in
his time. Besides being a success
full twirler, Griffith was one of the
wisest men that ever stepped in a
box.
"Griff" was not blessed with the
natural qualifications of the sue
cessful twirler; that is, speed and
a strong physique, and had to re-
sort to strategy to get results.
The "old fox" was a great stu
dent of the game. and this, com.
bined with his ability to mix them
up and good control, always made
him dangerous foe.
Always on the lookout for a
chance to slip one over on the OPP
position, or anything that might
make his none too easy task
lighter, "Griff" Immediately took
advantage of the rule which was
passed some years ago, allowing
the pitcher but the small rubber to
stand on when getting ready to de-
liver the ball
The rule says the twirler must
stand with both feet on the rubber,
or with one foot on it, and the
other ahead, or toward the batter.
when in the act of delivering the
ball. Most box artists interpreted
the rule to read that they must
stand so that the ball of the foot is
on the rubber; but not so with
"Griff."
He used to stand with his heel
against the front end of the pitch.

ready to pitch, would slide up a
foot or so. and in this manner be
able to steal that much of the dis
lance to the plate on the batter.
