One win in eight starts is nothing to gloat over, but in the case of the Griffmen it means much. They see in it the termination of the slump which dropped them to the Tast rung of the championship ladder. and will go into the fray today de- termined to even up the with St. Louis and inaugurate a winning streak that will boost them to a place among the leaders, where they be- lieve they rightiully belong.
