GRIFF RETURNS,
HEAPING PRAISE
ON new MANAGER
Old Fox Will Have Plenty
To Do in President
Role.
BY JACK NYE.

When Clark c. GrifHth returned
yesterday from the Chicago base
ball meeting where he transferred
the managerial toga to the square
shoulders of George Mcbride, he
had some additional words to say
about his new field leader.
He was decidedly complimentary.
in fact, which is not surprising un-
der the circumstances.
Mcbride ought, to be a good
manager" said GriT. He knows
- lot of baseball and has had some
valuable experience in recent years.
He always wanted to stay here and
] told him some time ago that when
/ found it necessary to give up the
job he could have it. am expect
ing him to come through in fine
style"
Grifr also repeated the assurance
that Mcbride was to be manager
IN all that the word implies.
m probably go South with the
team" he said, "and take some of
no interference with the manager
on the field. He is going to run
the team. If he wants any advice
from me he can have 1t, but it's
his job to win the ball games"
Grif Is not planning to lapse into
a life of ease and luxury. Far
from it. He's going to devote more
time to the executive duties con-
neCted with the presidency, and fig
ures that's enough to keep one man
hustling.
One of Grif's plans, now that he
has more time for other things, is
to build up a scouting system that
will be on a par with any in the
business He expects to put three
or four sleuths on the road, comb
ing the bushes for talent. When
they have a good prospect, the Old
Fox himself will go to pack up
and give the player personal in
spectiOn before signing his name
on the dotted line.
We are going to try and land
our share of the best in the mi
nOrs," he declared, and ought to
be able to do it when we get this
system under way"
Manager Mac has made no def
mate arrangements for coming to
Washington to assume control, it
develops. but may drop in any old
time. He is tickled to death with
his new job. according to President
Griffith.

"One OF the main troubles with
civilization in general" remarked
the Philosopher. is this-everyone
is looking for a shade before the
start. This applies to both indi-
viduals and nations. They never
think about starting on a $3.50
basis and letting merit decide the
issue. They all work or play or
fight on the theory that a match
well made is two-thirds won. They
all want to beat the gun. They are
not content to get away with an
even break. They waste enough
time and worry and effort in
scheming for the best of II to get
in good enough shape to win, even
If they had the worst of the start.
This applies to sport as well as
business. It's the old human yearn-
ing to put something over that will
Indicate shrewdness or smartness.
In Sport, for ExampIe-
Take sport, for example, ne con-
tinued. ''FootbSI is one of our
