JOHNNY DoBBs PAYS TRIBUTE TO PUG GRIFFIN AS HITTER.
Pug Griffin, Chick first baseman, had a great day with the stic
against the New Orleans pitchers the other day, asked Johnny Dobbs
Pei manager and a fine Judge of ball players, what he thought OF Grit
as a hitter. Il always instruct my pitchers to give Griffin a high bal
around his shoulders, close to him, and even then they are taking
chance. consider him a dangerous hitter at all times. I've heard
said that he pulls too much up there to make a good hitter but p
usually gets hold Of the ball. and that's how figure a man. No mat
ter how he hits, the fact that he hits convnces me that he's 9 goo
hitter" said Johnny.
Red Smith, the carrottopped oufielder and catcher OF the Chicks
has his finger back in shape again, after undergoing another operation
and now is all ready for another smash. Red says he IL going to pA
1t safety first now, however, and hopes to remain IN the lineup the res
OF the season.

the SQUIRRELS to come and crack the pawpaw apples. which ha figure
were hickory nuts.
