Griffith VIII Stand Pat
on His Pitching Material

as the majors was concerned. So all
efforts to bolster up his pitching staff
during the season failed. Under con-
ditions last season Griffith hoped by
making such an addition to land at
the top of the heap, and with this in
view spent some money, which he lost,
but it was better to do that than to
trade some of the players who may
eventually make good.
81 look for a marked Improvement
in u pitching next season." said he.
I'VE have the greatest-of them all in
Johnson, a splendid man In Groom,
and, with this pair going as they did
last year, I feel that at least two of
Il youngsters-Cashion and Engel-
wall show vast improvement. Hughes,
too, will prove valuable, and who
knows that we won't find a good
pitcher or two among the bunch of
youngsters we are to try out. / con-
slider myself rather fortunate to have
so good a staff and I shall make no
further effort to add to it by securing
any seasoned pitchers"

Manager Griffith has given up hope
of adding a seasoned pitcher to his
twirling staff. For a time he thought
there was a chance for him to secure
George Mullin of Detroit, but since
that club has made it plain that Null
lin can only be secured in exchange
fors other players Griffith has passed
up the proposition, for he has no
playing material hat he would part
with for the big pitcher. Had he been
able to secure him for a cash consid-
GRAFTON he would have taken a chance
but his failure to make such a deal
is not a disappointment to him.
There were two occasions last sea-
son when Griffith tried to build up
his pitching staff by buying two sea
soned pitchers, but both efforts failed.
First he took big Jim Vaughn from
New York for the waiver price, but
Vaughn failed to come through.
When Vaughn failed he purchased
Barney Petty from the st. Louis club
at a fancy figure, but Petty soon
proved that he was through &c far

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal. Dec. 2s.-
Guy de Villepion, a one-time teacher

CHICAGO CHINESE TO TAKE
PART In NEW YEARS FETE

CHICAGO, Dec. 26.-Chicago Chi
nese are to celebrate the dawn of the
new year for the first time on Janu
airy /. The old and familiar sights
which usually attended the celebra-
ton of the Chinese new year here in
February are to be passed next year.
The celebration also will be changed
to the new Chinatown, where the Chi
nese propose celebrating the event ac-
cording to the custom of Americans,
and at the same time.
With the fall of the Manchu dynasty
the ages-old calendar of the Ming
dynasty, it is said, will be followed no
longer, and hereafter January 1 will
become the date for the beginning Of
the new year with all Chinese.

TORONTO, Ont, Dec. 26.-Mauro
Yisconte, a little italian runner, beat
Tom Longboat, the Indian, in what
was scheduled to he Il ffteen-mile
race at Riverdale rink yesterday. VS.
conte beat the Indian sixty yards.
The race itself was short of the full

en- laps to the mile on a twelve-lap
track, or about 1871 miles. The time
vas 1:20:55.
1T was the worst unner in the
world in form against the best out of
condition, and the worst runner won, y
said Tom Flanagan.
C. w Smith, owner of the ioller
rink, who wagered Q to / on the Ital-
ian, says that he did SO because he
saw the little fellow do q full fifteen
miles a week ago in 1.23.

SPORTING GOSSIP

Young Gradwell, the local light
weight, explained to the wroter to-
day why he lost to Knockout Brown
at the Royale A. c. Brooklyn, yester-
day afternoon. Gradwell SAID that a
boil on his right arm caused blood
poison, which handicapped him from
training during the past week. AS a
forfeit of 5000 was set up to bind the
match, he went on against the crack
New Yorker in bad condition, being
in no shape to box well. His ply
sician advised him to stay away from
the ring until he recovered, but,
rather thar lose the forfeit money, he
went on, and in the seventh round
was stopped. Gradwell declares he
had the better of the fight up to the
fifth round. He staggered Brown in
the first and second sessions with
lefts and rights, and was so weak on
coming up in the sixth n ven
hat he was hardly able to lift his
arms. Gradwell says he could stay
the limit and probably beat Brown
when in perfect fighting condition.

Influenced from outside sources and
the manager there would have to

says there is only m condition upon
which he would become manager of
the Cincinnati team: An ironclad con- |
tract, STIMULATING that he would have
sole charge of the team all the time.
Johnny King, late manager of the
Boston Braves, is through forever as
