GRIFFITH OPPOSED
TO WINTER PLAYING

Cincinnati, Aug. SGs Clarke Grif-
fifth, manager of the Cincinnati Reds,
objects to his men playing winter
baseball on the coast or in Cuba. In
speaking of his objections recently he
raised the following points:
Playing ball in the winter ruins a
man for his best work In the good old
summer time. have been watching
1t for twenty years. and I have never
known case where player was out
on the coast playing ball In the winter
and then showed his best form In the
league games In the summer. Baseball
is a sport which taxes the nerves as
well as the muscles, and man is sure
to go stale unless he mas plenty of time
to recuperate.
"A good ballpiayer, who Is always in
the game, gets all that he can stand
during the regular season. None OF
the Reds will be allowed to hurt him
self for the next year by playing win
ter bali. Any man who does 1t will And
his contract considerably cut in the
spring, for 1t is a cinch he Will not
be worth as much to the club ais IL
he had put In the of season resting
up.
There will also be clause in the
Red contracts next year requiring the
players to live up on the i1iIltops DUR
ing the summer months. we have
not had single case OF illness this
year among the boys who lived up
there, while nearly every man who
stays downtown has been OFF his feed

Chicago, Ill, Aug. 80. - Spending
money lavishly, Charley Comiskey is
out to put the Chicago Americans back
on the baseball map asFpennant pos
sibilities in 1910. Already Comiskey
has paid out 100000 for players for
next season according to the estimate
of Garry Hermann, chairman OF the
National Baseball commission, who has
the only look at the real figures paid
for each man. This is stupendous
sum to pay out for the Strengthening
in one team. Imagine how many fran

II is over half year now that the

sporting circles, here and abroad-but
more so on our shores-for James
J. Jeffries, the undefeated champion, to
come to the Caucasian race.
At first Jeffries refused to heed the
clamor. He wanted to be let alone, to
