Yanks, Tigers on Big Scales.
IT is little wonder that baseball
people wonder how Griff does it.
At the moment the old gentleman has
working agreements with five farm
teams. The number, however, is de-
ceiving. The most highly rated club
belonging to the Griffith Cambria
combine is the Trenton team of the
New York-Pennsylvania League.
This is a class A circuit =.

in the loop.
Outside of Trenton and Greenville
he commands the Charlotte team of

Griff Still Gets EN-.
THE Cardinals, Giants, Red Sox,
White Sox and one or two other
major league clubs have extensive
chain-store systems, leaving the Mats,
Phillies and AS to shift for them
selves. But, in contrast to the fates
of the Phillies and AS in recent years,
Washington hasn't Jared half badly.
True, the Mats dropped from the first
division to sixth place this year, but
never were they pushovers for any
club in the league.
Griff is neither to be pitied nor
censured. The old gentleman, farm
system or no, seems to do all right.
He came up with Cecil Travis, for
whom he could trade with any club
in the American League, and he came
up with Buddy Lewis, who is worth
more on the market than his deep
Dixie roommate and pal.
These kids came straight from
the Class A Southern Associa-
ton, which is pretty big leap
for anybody. And they may not
be all.
There Is, f'rinstance, Outf1elder

up, after one season of pro ball, and

HERE also was l22-point scor-

the highest scoring year in the leagues
history. And believe there will be
further increase in offensive con-

because that is the games natural
trend at this time and apparently
what the public wants.
However, do not believe there
will come time when passes will be
used so much that the game would
resemble touchball, in which passes
only are permitted If the league as a
whole continues to concentrate on
offense some team suddenly will switch
to study of defense, which could, I
think, make it equal to If not superior

BY EARL HILLIGAN,

~ HICAGO, Dec. 24-Any one
I who believes professional
Y football is likely to degenerate
~ into the sissy class because
of the increasing use of passes will
get an argument from the man who
"fathered" the National Professional
League II years ago-George Halas.
Halas, owner-coach of the Chicago
Bears, was amazed by the passing
ability of Sammy Baugh, whose tosses
enabled Washington's Redskins to de-
feat the Bears recently and win the
national title. Baugh Is the greatest
passer he ever has seen, Halas said,
but his amazing performance of three
touchdown passes in one period
doesn't indicate to the Bear coach that
professional football will swing to
an extreme in which the ground
rushing game will be entirely for
gotten.
All teams in the circuit concen-
terated on offense last season." he
pointed out "Of a total of l,543
passes attempted. 594 were completed
for an average of 385 per cent. two
full points above the average of the
1896 season.
