Griffith Gained Tag Old Fox
As Cap Anson Pitching Ace;
He Could Make Baseball Talk
BY HARRY GRAYSON
NEA Sports Feature

Clark Griffith was known as
The Old Fox before he became
manager and years prior to
ascending to the presidency Of
the Washington Club.
Clark Griffith earned the tag
as Cap Adrian Constantine An
sons pitching ace during a phe-
nomenal run with the famous
Chicago White Stockings. Crit
fifth wore a big. black, stubby
mustache in those days. The
bushy eyebrows and hair that
are gray today also were black.
Griff wasn't a big right-hand-
err. He stood no more than 5 feet
8, weighed IT'S pounds. Never
having an over-abundance Of
speed, he performed his greatest
fcats after losing a good share
Of what he had He developed
the sharpest- breaking curve OF
the period. He had control,
could make the baseball talk.
There never was a smarter
pitcher, or all-around baseball
man, for that matter.
Doctoring the ball was legal
in those days, and Griffith en-
ployed all the tricks used by
Russell Ford and Dave DAN
forth, foremost tricksters, years
later.
Griff scraped the ball against
his sharp spikes as he drew back
in his windup. He made the best
use Of his belt buckle, knew
we'll the sandpaper, licorice and
other treatments. The ball did
queer tricks.
GRIFFITH BREAKS IN AT II
When a fellow hunter and
trapper mistook his father for
game in the Clear Greek coun-
try, near Montevalo, Mo, Clark
Griffith became an orphan at
two.
Clark was still youngster
when Mother Griffith took the
family 10 safer territory near
Normal, H. Griff pitched for
school and ssndlot teams at Ii,
made his professional bow with
Bloomington of the Central In
terstate League at II.
Wild when purchased by Mil
waukee Of the Western League,
Griff developed control by
throwing at white handker-
chief pinned to fence.
He won 18 games for the
Brewers in 1889, 27 while losing
only 7 in 90, was plucked by
Charles A. Comiskey's st. Louis
Browns of the American Associ-
alton, After winning five
straight, he developed arm
trouble. He went 10 the Boston
club of the same circuit, but his
lame arm sent him to Tacoma of
the Pacific Northwest League
the following year.
Will was bdCh III lOIUl again
with Oakland of the Pacific
Coast League in '93, when he
won 30 decisions and heard Pop

MONTANA farm
PRICES RISE
Three POINTS

The general level of local market
prices received by farmers on April
Is advanced three index points COM
pared with a month earlier, being
1890 of their August 1909-July 1914
base compared to 1860 on March Is,
the u. S. Department of Agriculture
reported today through the Bureau of
Agricultural Economics. During the
one-month period from March Is to
April Is the grain index dropped
points due to a 2-cent decline in aver
age wheat prices. Other grains held
even or advanced. This drop in the
grain index was more than offset by
advances of all other groups. The
largest factor in the general index
advance was the rise in meat animal
prices, with both beef cattle and veal
calves showing an increase of 80
cents per hundred and other meat
animals showing lesser increases.
Flaxseed continued its rapid advance
showing an increase of 16 cents a
bushel over the preceding month.
General upturns in prices of major
farm crops lifted the mid-April level
of prices received by farmers 3 points
above month earlier, the U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture reported to-
day. At 1876 percent of the August
1909-July 1914 average, the index of
prices received by farmers in mid
April was 35 points above a year ear
lier and the highest since September
1920 The index of prices paid, in
terest, and taxes continued its gradual
upward trend. A 1-point rise brought
the index to 1872 percent of the 1910
IA average. This was II points above
the same date last year. Farm prod
uct prices, therefore, averaged about
la percent of parity as judged by the
ratio between the indexes of prices
receivd and prices paid interest, and
taxes.

| Great strides have been made dur
ing past years in guaranteeing social
and economic security, and more re-
forms are being brought by the pres
sure of war. Among other things we
have blanket insurance against war
damage, a revolutionary thought AS
matter of course ship cargoes are
insured against wartime hazards. We
also have assured the future of civil
service employees by an appropria-
ton of ITS million dollars. Since
1888 we have been applying and re-
filming commodity insurance to protect
farmers from hazards over which they
have no control, a program which
most are agreed can only be handled
by public rather than private financ-
ing methods. This movement is of
special Importance right now; aren't
farmers engaged in war work just as
definitely as though they were operat-
ing ships or expanding production be-
yond peacetime safety limits?
Yet crop insurance is being thrown
overheard as an economy measure.
Yes, it has been costing something,
but we hazard the guess that the cost
has not been as high as the cost may
be of rehabilitating or supporting in
breadlines the farmers who may go
broke after the war because of lost
income. And even during war there
will be farmer casualties. How many
producers will be put out of business,
removed from their wartime job
through lack of foresight on the ma
TONS part in protecting their econom-
ic equilibrium?
Just now the Commodity Insurance
Corporation has been arriving at a
place where it can shift from the
realm of theory and into the realm
of actual handbook fact, based ON ex-
perience. 1t has cost money to gain
this experience, yet it is to be can
celled out-the corporation abandon
ed, the books of painfully gathered
statistics tossed into the fire.
Already many supporting farmers,
the plan, have paid in as premiums
more than they would ever likely re-
ceive from a single loss. On others
the books would balance. Therein
lies the principle behind insurance.
Yet all these who have supported the
are to be sold down the |
river, their investment sacrificed, by |
the self-same congress that is not at |
all squeamish about guaranteeing |
professors fixed returns, about financ-
ing outright thousands of giant war

Notwithstanding that over 100000
was requested the legislature ap-
propriated only the sum of $4,000
for the hospital at Warm Springs"
Thus far, there has been no indica-
ton how the money needed by these
institutions will be furnished. 1t may
be that a special session will be found
to be unnecessary, but that question
will undoubtedly not be decided until
all legal questions are answered and
all avenues of relief explored fully
1t is evident that there is growing
realization on the part of the citizens
of Montana that the legislature failed
to consider the needs of the various
institutions and it is a well-known
fact that considerable interest has
been stirred up in the matter. Voters
everywhere are taking an interest in
learning how their representative
voted ON these important measures,
and from all indications, the next
election will be the time of reckoning
for those who were so lax in their
duty.

that the law and every other law

is the public interest, he quickly said
that he recognized congress would not
have passed the law had it not felt

right to strike is a right which has
been destroyed in Fascist countries,
