DETROIT, Mich, May 25.-"When
you're losing, you generally get
roasted. But we're going to switch
whatever roasting is coming to us
now, for we're going to upset the
leaders as soon as we get started"
Here you have the brave words of
the Old Fox, who is always out there
putting up scrap till the last man
expires in the last half of the ninth.
And he really believes it.
"1f you recall that first trip West
last year." continues Griff, you'll
see how l reason out this thing. We
had terrible time trying to win a
few ball games, but see where we
finished in October.
I'm Cleveland last year on that first
trip. we lost four straight to the
Naps. without the figures before me,

the Browns. something like that to
the Tigers, and split even in Chicago.
NeNtrtheless. my players kept their
heads and gradually found them
