For years, whilenman- aging the Highlanders and the Reds, he was a dyspeptic, and the condition of his health was of more worry to himself and Mrs. Griffith than the standing of hia clubs. With his suc- cess at Washington, however, all the physical ailments have left Griff, and he as strong and healthy aa a school- boy. In the place of the grouch that formerly disfigured his face there is happy smile. The people of W: ington fairly worship him, in a bas ball way of speaking, and he ta just about as strong for the town as ‘t is for him. Griffith ined his club at Char- lottesville, Va., following out a the- ory of his that it is better to condi- tion men in a climate nearly Mke the one they are to play in than to make the sudden changes from the far South to the North in April, This time, though, his argument cannot be called convincing. The Senators had severe weather almost all the time they were tp Virginia, The fact that Foster and McBride are not able to play, however, cannot be latd to the grounds on which ¢hey sets a new record for Columbia. The previous record for the college field was made by either Tim Jordan or Harry Lumley when the Brooklyn Dod, trained here.
