Griffith is the real cause of the death
of the scheme. He has killed 1t because
he believes the futur Of baseball rests
upon the death of this latest scheme.
The Climbers manager was absolute

He spoke with Garry, Hermann of the
Cincinnati club. and Fred Clarke. man.

I'D like to take chance with Mike
