Griff last night attended the

was one of the two guests of
honor, the other being the honorary
president of the National Junior
Boards Base ball anecdotes and side
lights on the recent world series kept
the crowd entertained for a half hour

Griff expressed himself as being well
pleased with the city for the Spring

and the entire base ball team which
has been manifested by the city,
through its officials.
Today the Boy Scouts were the
guests of Griff and his manager,
Bucky Harris, at one of the local
theaters, to see Barbara Frietchfe.
Harris addressed the assembled
Scouts yesterday, impressing upon
and straight playing, to become a
success in the game Of life.
Harris popularity is increasing
daily, judged by the attention that is
being paid him. Bucky's retiring
manner at the social functions seems

than repel it, and try as he might

ure. towering six feet two and one
half inches and packing 195 pounds.
He is a right-hand thrower, but is a
southpaw in his batting habits. After
three years of base ball at Oglethorpe
University, Carlyle played two sea-
sons in the so-called Million Dollar
League, now defunct, and after a
brief trial with Atlanta was shipped
to Charlotte Of the Sally League,
where in 1923 be batted .337.
1t was not until last year that Car
lyle began to attract the attention of
big league scouts. Then, playing IN
every one of Memphis 157 games, he
fairly earned the Southern Leagues
batting championship with a mark of
.S6S. although the venerable Carlisle
Smith. in fewer games played, topped
him in actual percentage.
Carlyle led the Southern in total
bases hit for, was third in runs
scored and led by wide margin as
batter-in of runs for his team,
indicating his dependability in a
pinch. In the whole season he faced
pitchers 6TS times, he drew 80 bases
on balls. had eight sacrifice hits or
flies and was twice hit by pitched
balls. He was legally at bat 6S3
times more than any other player
in the league. He struck out so
times.
Record is Impressive.
Carlyles offensive record, when
analyZed. is impressive. He batted
in the cleanup position Cfourth) for
his team. He was not a great waiter
as his bases on balls record shows,
but he was a good judge of a pitched
ball-as his comparatively low num-
| Der of strikeouts, considering times
facing pitchers proves. He was in
there to hit and he did hit. His
extra base record shows how hard
he hit He had Al two-baggers, 20
| three-baggers and IL home runs.
His stolen base record was low,
but evidently he placed himself in
such position by strength Of his hits
that not much chance was given him
to steal. He stole but eight bases,
but he was caught stealing only
three times.
Carlyle played right field for Mem
phis. His record of putouts was not
high, being 293 in 157 games; he had
20 assists and he was charged with
20 errors
On defense Carlyles record is far
from impressive, but if his punching
proclivities stand the big league test,
the rough spots in his fielding can
be ironed out by practice.
