Pitchers Go Route, Selting a Record TWELVE GAMES LISTED IN FINAL TOUR OF WEST Griffs Play Benefit in Bloomington Tomerrow Before Opening in St. Louis Wednesday. Red Sox Take Wind-Up Contest, 2-0. BY DENMAN THOMPSON. RESIDENT GRIFFITH, Secretary Eynon, Manager McBride and P about half of the enlisted personnel of the Washington ball club, including Brower, Harris, La Motte, Shanks, Milan, Miller, Smith, Picinich, Torres, Gharrity and Shaw, not to mention Trainer Martin and Comedian Altrock, today are en route to Bloomington, Ill. This thriving town, be it known, was where Clark Griffith was reared and first p]ayed base ball. The reason for his visit on this occasion is to meet the cronies of his boyhood days, while the athletes on his pay roll are going along for an exhibition tomorrow against the Three-Eye League club which represents the place, the proceeds going to the family of the late Joe Leconard.
