FACE ORIOLES
TWICE OVER
WEEKEND
BY GARRETT WATERS
Times Staff Correspondent


BILOXI, Miss, March 25.-To-
day is an off day for the Griff-
men as far as games are con-
cerned, it being Good Friday.
But a practice session was on tap
this morning with the idea in
mind not to lose even an eighth
of a notch in the teams training.
The Griffs get back to playing
dyed-in-the-wool baseball tomor-
row as the Baltimore Orioles are
scheduled. This contest is to be
staged at the Biloxi Stadium for
the benefit of all Biloxi enthusi-
astS who get half-holidays on Sat
urdayS.
Sunday the Griffs travel over
to Gulfport to continue their Sc
ries with the Orioles. But more
important contest is on tap at
Biloxi Stadium the same day-im-
portant to Biloxi fans because it
schedules the Biloxi Bakers, Gulf
Coast champions, in an encoun-
ter against Manager JohnSon's
IrregularS.
Not Satisfied
The Biloxi Bakers were not
satisfied with their showing of
last week when they fell before
the Griff Irregulars, 13 to S.
They want another chance and
are to get it Sunday, as Uncle
Clark Griffith and Manager John
son have agreed to put on the
field another reserve team as the
opposition.
Bud Thomas and Johnny Boyle
no doubt will get the mound as
signments in this encounter.
More important for the Griffs'
cause, however, will be the mound
assignments in the games with
the Orioles over the weekend.
Lefty Lloyd Brown is to get
his first starting chance of the
year in tomorrow's encounter
against the Maisel-managed club.
Bobby Burke and Carl Fischer
will be the other hurlers.
Manager johnson hasn't de-
cided on his pitchers for Sun.
days game, but no doubt he will
pick from General Alvin Crowder,
Frank Ragland, Lefty Lynn Grit
fifth and Bob Friedrich.
Brown Is Fit
Lefty Lloyd Brown is fit once
again. Thus, his nomination to
start tomorrow'S game against
the Orioles. The big lefthander
has been slowly but surely work
ing himself into condition the
past four or five days with the
result he's ready to give his arm
a test for the first time this year.
Bobby Burke's soreness has left
his arm, according to the slender
pitcher, who is anxious to get an
other chance on the mound.
Bobby threw a little too hard in
last Sundays game against the
Biloxi Bakers, and ever since has
had to go easy until all soreness
left him. He is ready once again.
The Griffs played a crazy game
against the Springhill College
nine yesterday at the Biloxi Sta
dium. When the dust of battle
had cleared the final score read,
IL to II in the Johnson gangs
favor.
Harris Is Chased
There were several ludicrouS
features during the two hours and
some 10 minutes of play, the chas-
ing of Dave Harris from the game
by the ump being one, and the
playing of AL Schacht and Nick
Altrock being another. Additional
features were the several lineup
shifts. Rice coming in from cen
ter field to play third base, as an
instance, and Moe Berg going
from third to center.
It fell to Nick Altrock to win
the game for the Griffs in the
ninth, after the visitors had gone
ahead, II to 10 in their part of
the frame. With Rice on third,
Nick Smote an easy single through
short, scoring Sammy, for the
margin.
Bud Thomas and Johnny Boyle
divided work on the mound, the
former working the first six
innings. Both hurled well in spots
but received little support from
the line up of "irregulars" behind
them. The game marked Boyle's
initial start on the mound.
