on the lots just as soon as he was able
TO handle a bali When still quite
young, Griffith displayed ability as a
pitcher, though his physique was not
of the kind warranting any great flu
ture for him.
When Griffith left home in 1887 to
join the Bloom ington, ILL., team pre-
dictfons were made that he would not
be. away longer than to partake of a
cup of coffee, but Griff fooled these
critics, as he did most batsmen who
faced him. He advanced to Milwaukee
in 1888, and remained there until the
close of the season in 1890. The fol-
lowing year the war broke out between
the National league and American as
sOciation, and Griffith joined Comis-
keys famous St. Louis Browns. He
remained there but half the season,
when he was traded to Boston, which
team won the pennant that year. When
the association was forced TO hoist the
white flag Griffith went to the coast,
where he pitched for various teams,

member of the Oakland, Cal, team,
and his work attracted the attention
of Old Cap Arson of the Chicagos.
who secured him. Griffith proved the
star pitcher of the Colts, and remained
a member of the team until 1900. In
1901 he jumped the National league
and became manager of the White Sox
in the American league. His team won
the pennant.
At the close of the following year
Griffith took the management of the
New York Americans, where he con-
tined to reign until the middle OF
the season of 1908 when he was let
OUt He assumed the management of
the Cincinnati team during the sea-
sons of 1909, 1910 ami 1911. and this
fall became the manager OF the Ma
tiOnaIs, in which club he also pur-
chased a block of stock.
AS a pitcher Griffith was a mystery
to most batsmen. He was one of the
Smallest men who ever made a sue
cess of pitching in the major leagues.
He did not possess great speed, but
was a master at the art of outguessing
the batsman. One of his greatest feats
during the closing days Of his career
as pitcher was in tanning Ty Cobb
four times in a single game, when that
renowned player was just breaking in

FINANCIAL and COMMERCIAL.
A NARROW MARKET.
Approach of Holidays Causes Curtaii-
ment of Operations.

New York. Dec 21.-For the greater
part of today'S session the stock mar
ket bore the familiar aspects of the
approaching holidays, the three days
respite having the effect Of curta1ling
operations, which consisted largely of
short covering by the professional ele-
ment. The movement at first was de-
cidedIy irregular with pronounced
weakness in the Gould issues, pardc-
ularly Texas and Pacific and Denver
and Rio Grande shares. A severe de-
cline in the preferred stock. of the lat
ter gave rise to rumors of possible re-
Ownership proceedings, but these were
authOritatively denied.
In the latter part of the session the
market grew gradually frnner and
more active under the leadership of
Lehigh Valley, Amalgamated Copper,
American Smelling and other active
speculative issues. The further rise in
the coppers conceded with reports of
another rise in the price Of metal to-

Gently been heavy purchasers of the
metal. Another contributing cause
was smart advance in Rio Grande in
the London market.
The market as whole, however,
was narrow and unconvincing and such
net gains as the day recorded were at
times frequently resisted by a bear
party whose ranks seem to have been
largely augmented in the early days Of
the week. The days news was a mix
ture of good and indifferent, none of
which seemed to exercise much infiu-
ence marketwise. An increase in the
dividend of the Atlantic Coast Line
company, which controls the railroad
of that name, was accepted as an in
dication that the Louisville and Nash
Vile directors might increase their
dividend disbursement, but such hopes
were dashed when announcement OF
the regular rates was made just before
the end of the day.

SUN FIELD THE WORST.
SUN FIEED TIE WUhoI.
Beats All Other Difficult Positions on
the Diamond.

The hardest position in play in the
outfeld is the sun field. and that is
not always the same field, nor are all
of them equally difficult. Sun field,
| by the way, is the ball players name
for the field into which the afternoon
sun shines on a direct, or almost di-
rect line with the home plate, so that
the majority of njes hit to that fielder
come TO him out of blazing back
ground
At the Polo Grounds the left field
is the sun field, although center field
is bothered at certain seasons. AT
American league park in New York
the sun interferes with the right field
err
What is admitted by all to be the
worst in the major leagues is left field
in Cleveland, although left field at the
Polo Grounds in New York is pretty
fierce.
The St Louis American league
grounds have everything else beaten
bad sun fields, whenever the weather
is clear. Sometimes even the left field
er then is handicapped, too
The fan probably wonders why bah
parks are not planned so that there
Will be no sun field. Chat can be
done easily enough by ma king con-
siderable part Of the spe ,tators face
the sun, and not only face it, but sit
in 1t most Of the game, and that is
not comfortable on hot afternoon
Detroit and Brooklyn have plants
laid out that way. and the first base
side of the covered stands is no more
comfortable than open bIeachers in Ju-
Igor August.
Detroits new plant, now being
built, Is arranged the other way, be-
cause the comfort of the fans is moro
important TO the revenue of the game
than the convenience of the out
felders.
1t is better to have a fly misjudged
occasionally. even at the cost OF a
game, than to have a large section
of the stand Stunned by persons I'M
less the place is crowded.
