The epoch-making statement was
committed at the conclusion of the
daily workout. perpetrated under a
broiling sun. What Griffith saw ap-
parently made a profound impress
sion on him. We've got a great ball
club" he chortled. "A great team
in the making. We've got young
pitchers who are going to make the
grade in two years, young infielders
and young outfielders. They've got

Alexandra, that's the guy. He's a
real pitcher. He's got as much stuff

and he knows how to pitch. Keep
him? OF course, we're a-going to
keep him"
A dastardly rumor has been
spread to the effect that Senor
Roberto Ortiz's star already has set
and that Messrs Griffith and Bucky
Harris have decided he won't do

Small Club Brought Him Fame.
Griffith seems to have the typical
small mans complex. He was
among the smaller stars when he
was pitching 40 years ago. His first
and only great Washington ball
club, that Of 1924, probably was the
smallest major league team Of all
