GRIFFITH IS CHAMP
WHEN IT COMES TO
MISSING CHAMPIONS

Baseball players who, after engag-
ing in a world series, are traded to
a club that takes part in the succeed
ing interleague championship contests
are called lucky. If they are. then
Tommy Griffith Of the Robins, has
earned the right to be dubbed the
most unlucky player in the game. In
1914 Griffith started the season as a
member of the Braves. At the open
ing of the year it will be recalled
that the Braves did not have chance
to finish one, two, hree. After he
frs few weeks Of he race, Salling's
crew were anchored in he second di-
vision, which was nothing unusual for
them. About the last week in June
Manager Sallings told Griffith, who Is
a tenor of no mean ability, that he
could sing his way through the league,
and the player was shifted to the
Reds. AS soon as Tommy left the
club they started their sensational
squirt that resulted in their winning
the National league championship and
the world series from the Athletics.
Griffith remained with the Reds I'M
til last winter, when he was traded to
the Robins in the deal that sent Jake
Daubert to Cincinnati. While Crit
fifth was with the Reds he never felt
the sensation of collecting the losers
share of a world series, and when he
was sent to the Robins, he welcomed
the transfer He figured the Robins
had better chance for winning this
years pennant than had the Reds
What the Reds accomplished afer
Tommy left is familiar, and he is a
member Of the club that finished in
the last division.
