During this period he has lost only

pulsed with an abundance of power

driving so hard and so accurately

ENNAAA{|SS
Man of lunches

Clark Griffith, now largest owner,
also president of the Washington
club of the American league,s still
retains the superstitions of his days
as a ball player.
AS matter of fact, I doubt if
there is a greater hunch, player in
the American league.
Several years ago, when Washing
ton was winning it's first pennant,
| noticed one day that Griffith was
sitting far down in the left field
pavilion, his box being deserted.
When + quered him about taking
seat so far removed from play,
he replied:
This is 4 lucky seat. Ever since
have been sitting down here the
club has been winning consistently.
am going to continue to sit here
until wear out the charm
Washington won the pennant that
year and "Grhf will tell you he
held down the same seat all season
Picks His Lucky Umpire
Last season, after winning two
consecutive pennants, Washington
failed to make it three in row
when the pitching sagged and the
club went down with it.
That is the reason why Griffith
has started playing lunches early
this spring.
In 1924, Washington won a flag
and world OIL sehies.:ae The spring Of
that year, Emmett Ormsby, making
his debut as an American league
umpire, handled the games for the
washington club. s
It will be noted that ormsby is
in charge of the exhibition games
in the southath his year.
/. "ormsby was good ,luck to us the
year we won Our first pennant, so
! am playing a hunch in selecting
his as our umpire this year for the
exhibition tour"
Don't forget that Griffith is sincere
in the belief and hope that the
good luck Ormsby first brought hlm
will repeat
How Does This sounds
Then commented on the fact
that the Nationals ought to make
plenty of money in the series o.
games scheduled on the way north
with the New York Giants.
Griffith admitted the possibility,
then laughed, as he remarked:
aside from the chances of making
some money, l also played a huncE
when 1 arranged the games with
New York
Il really believe the series of games
we played with the Giants in the
spring of 1925 was responsible for
the winning of our second pennant."
I asked him to explain what seemed
to me a conundrum, since could
see no connection between exhibition
games and the American league
pennant
History Asked to Repeat
"You will recall, he continued
.that we beat the Giants for the
world championship in 1924. A lot
of folks said we were lucky, but
we won
"A spring series for 1925 was ar
ranged with the Giants It was
limited McGraws club intended tc
show us up, prove we were lucky.
when New York won five of th'
first six games, it began to look thai
way However, it simply aroused

BABE RUTH GROWS SERIOUS
PUTTING PLAY BEHIND HIM
BY BRIAN BELL

(Ira1nl0S camp SeT1eS)
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. March 23.
OR)-Babe Ruth has grown up He
has deserted the ranks of play boys
and in the spring training camp of the
New York Yankees is working fever
ishiy to get into condition for sea-
son he expects to be productive of
many home runs. Time was when the
Babe threatened to follow the ex
ample set BY other great but goofy
southpaws and make baseball his side
line instead of his main stock in
trade. Not so now. He is taking the
task of getting in his best shape quite
seriously.
When the slugger reported to Man
ager Miller Higgins he weighed 22S
pounds, only about five pounds more
than he will carry through the hot
DAYS OF the summer He is not nearly
so fat as he looks. He is just big.
TO the naked eye there was little diff
ference, in grth between the Ruth
who started training at ST Peters
burg the other day and the Ruth
who hit three home runs in one world
series game last autumn.
Only this beastly sunburn,' was
his reply to a question if he had any
troubles this spring.
The goose is hanging high for the
big fellow and he is going about his
work with no clouds in his baseball
sky. The sunburn will soon pass away.
Ruth has signed record breaking
contract and this pleases him for il
there is one thing he would rather do
than another it is break record He
has become a seriously concentrated
business man, creating trust funds,
making gilt-edged investments and
saving his money against that day
when no home runs Will crash from
the big Ruthian bat.
Home runs hit in March are not re-
corded in the official statistics but
there is every indication that these
early ones will be followed by many
that count i nthe summer
