fastest men in the country in the
dashes. At any distance up to a quar-
ter Griffith ranks with the best of
them and for this reason O'Reilly is
going to use him to dash in from
first base to home on single.
Lacked Speedy Runner.
I'VE lost many games last year"
says O'RefIly. because we had no
one with speed enough to come in
from second or third on a hit or a
fly ball caught in the outheld. Grif-
nth is speedy enough, knows baseball
pretty well and is by no means a
poor pitcher when he is going right.
Il figure that Grifhth's speed on
the bases will be a big asset any
time the score Is close enough or we
are behind and he can be sent In to
run for some one. This years team
is slow on its feet. The players have
not the speed OF the usual college
teams. suppose all the colleges will
be suffering from the same complaint
but IL we can use Griff occasionally
we will"
