GRIFFITH PICKS
PHILLIES TO WIN
Nationals Boss Says Dooin's
Team Should Land Flag.

Clark Griffith, former leader Of the
Highlanders and the Reds, and now the
white hope of the Nationals, comes out
boldly with a prediction that the Phillies
will win the National League pennant
pens to Doom. In thus hedging his bet
Griffith seems to have put his finger on
the Quakers' weakness. No team can
be really great which is n One-man or
ganiZation. 1t is not merely that the
Phillies have no reliable relief backstop
to depend upon, but the fact that 1t is
Dooin's personality and ability which
Yields the component parts of the team
into an efficient whole. With their au-
burn-haired leader the Pennsylvanians
are a dangerous lighting aggregation OF
baseball lions, but without him they
are poor little sheep who have lost their
way.

should wear himself out. attempting to
catch every game, especially II he can
