CLEVER SCHEME DEVISED
BY FOXY C. GRIFFITH
Reds Manager Would Criticize While
Critics Coach in Big League
Same.

Clark Griffith has a new idea. and
Il looms up as rich and jovial. The
Little Fox, sometime Jared by the
criticisms which have been freely
showered upon the Red coaching and
base running. is figuring on giving the
captious critics a chance to show just
how much they know or don't know
about handling this portion of the
game.
Along in September, IL the standing
of the clubs should then be SO estab-
lished that a single game won't cut
any ice, Griff may put uniforms on
the critics, and allow them to direct
the coaching OF base runners for one
afternoon. The Reds will be under
orders TO obey, unquestioningly, any
commands from the new coaches and
great fun is anticipated. Griff opines
that the critics coaching will result
in about nine double plays being pull
cd upon the base runners, but this
remains TO be seen.
II such an affair could be arranged
IL would be a crackerjack boX-office
card, and would show the high-browed
writer's, once and for all, just how
hard II is to run team upon the teid
and get away with II.

An oil firm evolved a brilliant &C
vertising scheme down at Atlanta the
other day and they proceeded to put
IL into effect at the Atlanta ball park.
How the beautiful idea was brought
To naught is good story.
The Wesson Snowdrift Oil sign that
they had planted just inside the frsi
base foul line just before Birmingham
came for a series was a marvel Of
loveliness in green and white. II was
so placed, however, that the batter as
he followed the ball from the pitcher
hand unusually lost il in the sign.
This seems a silly thing to do, but
IL you had been in the batter's place
you would have found II was true.
Just as the ball came across the plate
you would get all muddled up Wit
the green letters and like as not you
would hit at one OF the letters instead
OF tho ball which would get you MOTH
inE in the Official averages.
SO here comes tine bunch: The sign
was rugged up with curtains. When the
Atlanta team came 10 bat the curtains
were dropped over the sign by Ave
small boys stationed on its top. When
the birmingham team came TO bat u
curtains were pulled mp. II was NM

the series against Talladega. In the
first game OF double-header Frank
Sparks was In the box for Talladega.
When Cobb arrived at bat he coolly

on bases, tring the score. Upon his
next appearance he knocked IL over

In the ninth inning the score was
