GRIFFITH TO GIVE
AYRES CHANCE IN FALL
The Washington Star says:

Doc Ayres Is. not apt 70 JOIN the
Nationals until the Virginia league
season is over in the fall. Rich
mond is in the pennant fight. and
naturally could not afford to let its
best pitcher go at this time. Ayres
is showing to even better advantage
this year than he did last. There is.
however variance of opinion as to
his ability to make good In this COM
pany. There are some good judges
who predict that he will be g.
failure In this company. while others
hold that he Will prove a star. The
chances are that Griffith will be able
to get line on him when he re-
ports here in the fall, for he Is sure
to work him in several games at that
time provided the Nationals are in a
position then to do some experiment.
