ssOld Fox" Griffiths Drives His
Players With Verbal Fireworks

Clark 0rifflth. the "old fox
1oador Of the Warrington team, Il
: type Of manager unlike any
ether. In spite of the fact that
most Of the prophets have decided
that 0rif's chance for Q pennant
with his present team Is growing
more and more dim, he may fool
Them and bring back q club that
appears to be fading away with
cut achieving q championship.
He FIRST showed up In baseball
tweuty-three years ago, little,
dark-skinned fellow with big eyes
who seemed too small to be .
neal pitcher.
He had been taught the art of
pitching by "Hoss" Radbournc,
one Of the greatest of the veter-
ans. He went to Milwaukee, back
TO Chicago, was sent to Portland,
and after a great season there
came back to Chicago, where for
years he was recognized as the
master pitcher of the craft, the
headiest, wisest of them all.
He was the leader of the
players union In 1907, and
in 1900 jumped TO Combs
keys new Chicago team, the
White Sox, to manage IL.
Then he took the New York
Highlanders, came within one
game of a pennant and faded
away. Cincinnati tried him and
he failed and went to Washing
ton. There he became part
owner.
As manager Grif has but one
fault. His memory Is too long.
II player makes a blunder on
April 81 Grit will remember IL
and throw 1t up to the player in
October. The strain of manae-
Ing appears to have rasped his
nerves. His hair turned gray in
one season at Cincinnati, and he
holds the record of taking %
drinks Of water in four minutes
In crisis of game.
Grif has another failing,
which Is nagging Mt UNI
pires; a relic of his old play
ing days.
He has one great ambition; de-
sire to win a pennant for Wasn~
ington: and one great passion
loyalty to his old friends.
Outside of baseball Grit Is one
OF the most popular of the men
Of the game, quick witted, clever
In repartee and appreciative.

The tea given Wednesday afternoon
by Mrs. Luther Burns and Mrs
Thomas j. Myers will be remembered
as one of the brilliant social affairs
of the year. The party was given in
kellam hall; so that, while a great
many callers came and went through
out the afternoon, there was none of
the crowding that sometimes mars the
pleasure of home reception.
Mrs Burns and Mrs. Myers stood
near the ball room entrance to re-
ceive their guests, who were presented
by Mrs. David Palmer.
Kellam hall has seldom been seen
adorned in a prettier decoration than
was used yesterday. There were
palms and ferns in banks along the
front, and in the deep window stills
were blooming plants and ferns In
the dining room, the decorations were
in ferns and yellow chrysanthemums
On the table was a handsome center
piece of Cluny lace and Madeira en-
broidery, brought from Europe by
Mrs. Myers. A tall bouquet Of big yell
low NUNS and autumn grasses stood
in the center of the table. A hand
some tablecloth covered the punch
table in the reception room also,
where the serving was done by Mrs.
Charles Allen Mills, Mrs. c. A Nc
Guire, Mrs. Roy Bone, MRS. Henry F.
Mason and Mrs. Silas Porter
Mrs. Burns was gowned in black
velvet, in the close fitting, medium
short length mode of the day. The
sleeves and shallow yoke were of black
net, hand embroidered in a design
with Iridescent beading. Mrs. Myers
wore a gown of taupe velvet and
Georgette crepe. There was a Shout
der drapery of yellow lace. and err
mine trimming. Her bouquet was of
sunburst roses. Mrs. Palmer wore
a brocaded blue silk gown, with lace
bodice.

tended the party, some of whom were
house guests of the hostesses, and
others visiting women in the city. Mrs.

gray hair disappears, and after an
other application or two, your hair
becomes beautifully dark, thick and
