much his own and he can tell outsiders
just how he feels about it.
In base ball every character from
the rookieSt rookie to the owner Is a
public character and Spiller did not
know how to meet the public nor how
to keep in the best Of graces with
newspaper men.
But despite all this he had acquired
a base ball club. great stadium. a
swimming pool. concessions in the best
base ball town in the Southern League
and some of the most valuable real
estate in the city and there were many
who wanted It.
At times Cobb and Speaker had been
mentioned as negotiating for it. Only
last year Brooklyn made an offer and,
according to Spiller only this year an
Atlanta syndicate offered him $4,000
more than he got from Clark Griff1th.
but he couldn't sell because he had
pledged his word to the Washington
man.
Spiller bought the concessions in 1919
and in 1928 he bought the club from
Charlie Frank paying him $40, 900 for
1t. Later on he sold the property to
the 8. A. Lynch enterprises and after
that Dan Michalove owned It and Spill

but the concessions have been worth far
more. In one year 1t Ia reported Rell

Just what will be done with the
Atlanta team now that Griffith has
bought it is a matter of conjecture
here. The team is some - or more
games behind the leaders and hasn't
shown any great amount of push or
energy. Still 1t is recalled that other
Atlanta teams have come from that
far In the ruck to win pennants.

been announced, will be president and

They recall his message over the
phone to the Atlanta club on the open
ing of the season when It started off
with a bang by winning two at Chat
tanooga.
That message read: Boys come home
to papa"
But all the fans knew was that the
club was not winning and that 1t had
dropped into seventh place and seemed
destined to be a cellar occupant before
the season is much older
And so, when the announcement was
made on the field that Clark Griffith
of the Washington club had bought
the team there we're wild cheers Of
acclaim from the bleacherites and only
few gathered around Spiller and his
family to tell them farewell from the
game he had grown to love.
Perhaps the truth Of it all was that
