Two stately manor houses
In England have solid links
with America.
On each Of these grey stone
houses appears an odd coat
of-arms which consists of stars
and stripes in red and white,
and is capped with an eagle.
These coats-of-arms were put
there by ancestors of George
Washington who lived there
centuries before the American
flag or the Great Seal of the
United States were conceived.
The arms of the Washington
family date back to at least
1850.
The first house ever occupied
by a Washington in England
is still in existence, as is the
one belonging to the most dis
tinguished English Washington.
Both are Washington shrines,
one at Washington, County
Durham, in Northern England,
and the other at Sulgrave, OK
fordshire, in Southern England.
Washington Old Hall, in the
rolling County of Durham in
Northern England, has only
lately been restored and turned
into a museum by the Ameri-
can and British Common
wealth Association. Sulgrave
was set up as a shrine in 1914,
to celebrate 100 years of peace
between Britain and America.

to have fewer shortages.

The Years of the Griffiths

Second of three brief chapters touching on
the erds OF Washington tn the American
League)
THESE WERE THE MOST joyous, sue
cessful, dismaying and bleakest years in
the history of the Washington Ball Club.
For 40 years the Griffiths, first Clark and
later Calvin, headed up the Senators, who
ran up pennants from the centerfield flag
pole and who also finished in the cellar.
Clark Griffith was only AZ years old when
the onetime star pitcher for the Chicago
White Sox refused a new contract to man
age Cincinnati in the National League and
came to Washington as Jim McAleer's man
agerial successor. He was a little, black
browed bantam with sprinkling of gray
just beginning to show in his head.
He was called the Old Fox because Of his
willy pitching strategemS but he roared into
the Nations Capital like lion in 1912.
With a ball club that had finished seventh
or last for nine straight years-and never
better than sixth in the American Leagues
history-Griff implausibly piloted the Sen
. ators to second-place finish behind the
Red Sox.
But he didn't come only to manage. He
had some cash, about $4,000, and by mort
gaging his ranch in Montana he raised an
additional $4,000 to buy 10th interest in
the club. With 1000 shares he became the
biggest single stockholder. And over the
years he gradually increased his holdings.
OVER ONE 22-YEAR STRETCH, from
1912-1933, Griffith managed and Griffith
to 4;
no less than 16 times, won three pennantS
and one World Series. In 1924, when the
Senators beat the Giants, people danced in
the streets and Clark Griffith was the most
popular sports tycoon in the city's history.
The Old Fox knew his baseball. In those
days before farm systems, general man
ayers, big money owners who operated clubs
as hobby, Griffith outfoxed his high-level
colleagues as he did rival hitters in his
pitching days
For outlandiShly small sums of money
and often for no money at all-Griffith
funneled great and near-great players into
the Capital to stand alongside the i'm
mortal Walter Johnson the only star of any
outstanding magnitude he inherited The
list was almost endleSs-Bucky Harris, Joe
NAoilAI, JUG IuuSe, OSole DlueSe, SooSe
Goslin, Sam Rice, Buddy Myer, AL Sim
mons and dozens, scores of others.
The younger Clark Griffith ran a tidy
operation. The Senators at last financially
became solvent. They we're his bread-and
butter and he worked hard, lived well and
raised large family of adopted children.
One was Calvin Robertson, son of Mrs.
Griffith's widowed sister, who was to be-
come Calvin Griffith heir to the throne.

Palmer, playing two holes
