Greatest speed ball pitcher of mod

there because he wants to be; he
yanted to stay with his old club
the only big league club he ever has
cen with-another year. Ultimate
~ he hoped he would have the
honor of managing that club.
Probably nobody was more sur
nrised than Johnson when he
earned of Griff1ths decision to let
him go. 1t was a tough decision

made it with much restrained hem
ing. and having and not little
diplomatic tear shedding.
You see Griffith isn't wholly I'M
sympathetic. 1t was about sixteen
,ears ago he came to Washington
from Cincinnati. They called him
The Silver Fox" in those days. He
was known to have keen baseball
intellect. It also was the general be-
lief he had a lean bankroll.
AT THAT time the Washington
L n club consisted Of Walter john
son, fifteen baseball suits filled in
discriminatory with strange and
curious specimens of mankind, a
dugout that leaked and water bot
tie in which two vagabond polly
wogs basked discontentedly.
Which is to say, johnson was the
ball club. He was then at the peak
of his glittering genius, easily the
pre-eminent pitcher of the game. 1t
was around him the future success
of the club was built, and it was due
to his unstinted labors in no small
degree that this success finally was
achieved.
So, In the natural procession Of
events, Griff1th's lean bank roll took
on the attributes of robustness and
in due time he found himself listed
among the unchaste rich and vul-
carly powerful. In short, one OF the
games big business guys.

A year ago, Griffith went in for
an expensive novelty in the form
Of a $4,000 Outfielder, Mr.. Iris

might have worked out as a
profitable investment, but last
year was not a normal year in the
American League.
TINE Washington club didn't
l. make any great amount of
money. 1t even may be true that
the club lost money. Other clubs
in the league did Griffith got no
great comfort out of the financial
statement for the year. He decided
something ought to be done.
First, the expensive Mr.. Speaker
was permitted to make other ar
rangements for 1923. Next, it was
moved to give the air to Altrock and
Schacht, the two side-line clowns.
On second thought, this idea was
tabled
This brings us back to Walter
Johnson. He had had bad year.
A batted ball had broken his ankle
at the training camp, and he hadn't
been able to round back into pitch

And there, you have the inside

ceives the opportunity to fulfill a
lifelong ambition to test his ability
as a manager.
