Gallia spilled the beans for the Griffmen
yesterday. the Browns taking the sea-
sons farewell encounter, to ,. as re-
suit of Bert's inetfectiveness. Grif had
intended to send Shaw to the hilIock, but
for some reason shifted his choice to the
Texan. who put the first hve men TO race
him on the pa tbs, three by hits and two
via passes. Two of the runs were over
and all the bases occupied when Shaw
was summoned. Shanks' boot of Jacob
sons grounder permitted two more OF
the enemy to tally. This quartet OF
counters proved sufficient for the alien
victory. for two runs were all the Ma
tionals could garner from the delivery OF
Davenport. Notwithstanding they touched
him for ten bingles, one for two bases
and another for three.
Sixteen Griffmen saw service in the

Bob Folweu of Pennsylvania is one
foot ball coach who does not draw
pessimistic conclusions about the prob
able result Of the seasons schedule
before the first game. On the con-
trary. Folweu has come out with the
prediction that his team will be as
good as it was last year, and that he
will not lack for good material. In
substnce, Folwell says:
Il am not worrying about material.
Usually five or six unknown men come
| out and perform much better than ex-
pected. We have half a dozen de-
, penda bles who are sure to make good.
There are half dozen or eight men
from last years Freshman eleven, and

Neither Pittsburgh nor the Chicago Americans
obtained man by draft.
One of the players Griff was most de-
sirous of obtaining is Pitcher Paddy
Martin of the Springfield club of the
Eastern League. Martin is young
portside pitcher of about the size of
Harry Harper. and is said to have con-
troll, a quality somewhat unusual IN
young left-handers. in addition to speed
and fine curve ball. Competent critics
have classed kim as one of the best
young pitching prospects in the coun-
try How he escaped being drafted ls
puz2ling. Washington put in a bid for
him, and it is believed other big league
clubs did. too, but he was not awarded
to any of them. Griffith intends to in
stitute inquiries with view to learn
ing if he can obtain title to him.
Lunte. the shortstop of the Mobile
cluo OF the Southern Association, who
was obtained by Cleveland, is another
player Griffith was after. and he also
wanted Davis of the Louisville club
and Fitzgerald of the San Francisco
team. both of whom were awarded to
tionals may Yet obtain one or more
of these players in case the clubs to
which they were awarded waive their
claims.
The battle for fourth place in the league
