Last spring, unless memory be"
weak, Clark Griffith just twice
butted in upon George Gibson.
Once he attempted to show young
Frank Riel, the Tampa pitcher,
how to get more on his curve
ball. Another time he gave Jonk-
heer Hollingsworth some inten-
sive drilling in the matter of ac-
quiring control.
With President Griffith coach
ing the pitchers, the training
weeks will be more like they used
to be. With others supposed to
handle this job each year, Presi-
dent Griffith has devoted most
of his attention to the business
details Of the club and to his
daily golf. He is an assidious
golfer, usually playing around in
the 70's or low sos.
Martin Goes First.
MIKE MARTIN will be in
N charge Of the pitchers un-
A'A til President Griffith ar
rives. Mike will have the gang
report for work Monday morning,
February 10. It is probable that
President Griffith will not arrive
until February "a, going down
with the cripples-Bluege, Gag
non and Richbourg.
Martins duty will be to have
the pitchers physically fit to be
sent through their PAGES. That
means he'll have them ready and
it will be like old times at a
Washington training camp to see
Mike and Griff sending the boys
over the hurdles daily. They
know their business, too.
Mikes responsible for the
physical condition of the athletes.
Griff relies on him implicitly,
too, in this regard. The minute
Mike orders a pitcher to run
around the park and go in," that
minute Coach Griffith turns his
attention to some other aspirant
for a regular berth. There is
never any collision between them.
They've been working together
for nineteen years or more. No
wonder.
Mike Is not hard on the boys,
as some might believe, but he
stands for no Sinking, and, with
Coach Griffith backing him up,
he sees that loafers don't loaf
long at camp. There have been
loafers in recent years, but they
are not now with the ball club.

Miss Hattie Morton gave an interesting talk on the real daughters of the Daughters of the American Rev0Iu- tion, of whom thirty are left. {
 Another pleasant feature of the aft ernoon was the indorsement of Mrs, WaiteH Ambrose Robinson of Gadsden, state regent of the Daughters of the American Revolution, for honorary vice general of the National Daugh- ters of the American Revolution, to be votedson at the meeting of the national in April.

ARBOR DAY AT LOULIE COMPTON SEMINARY

An event of great interest in the life of the seminary was Arbor Day, which for the first time in the history of the school, was celebrated on last Friday afternoon. The whole school assem- bled at 2 o'clock on the lawn, all eager for the ceremonies to which they had looked forward. After song by the students, the tree planting went for ward with enthusiasm.
 The program opened with the unique ceremonies of the primary department, who planted their crab-apple tree with a merry song and dance. Each member of the department added a spadeful of earth to cover the roots of the lovely little tree.
 The, intermediate department with rare good taste chose cedFus deodara. which Miss Dorothy Newman presented. in a few well chosen words. Following this Violet Denton read lovely poem and the whole department joined in rousing chorus, Hail, Cedar Hail!''
 A beautiful hackberry was the choice of the freshman class, whose president, Miss Carolyn Sibley, in graceful man ner made her offering to the forestry of the school. & -
 The sopromores with an eye to the future, gave a fruitful pecan tree and Miss Martha Riley Selman in her pre- sentation speech breathed an earnest wish that they might all live to enjoy the fruit thereof.
 The juniors had selected as their memorial tree handsome holly, which the president, Miss Martha Riley Sel- man, gave in a few well chosen words.
 The sub-senior class in memory of the early spring days selected dogwood as their gift. The class president, in poetic strain, made her offering to the future beauty of the campus.
 . As a climax in order of class pre- scntation, Miss Mary Ray Dobyns, pres .ident of the senior class, in appropriate address presented Miss Morton with a sturdy live oak. Miss Morton in her own gracious manner, received the of- fering of the different classes. She gave them heartfelt thanks for the beau tifnl trees, and for the sentiments of loyalty and love expressed by the speak CTS. With prophetic eyes she looked into the future and saw the campus shaded by the spreading branches of the memorials.
 Handsome stone tablets with the name of the classes was placed by each tree as mark of designation.

IN THE last 50 years in: America a
