Clark Griffith of Cincinnati,
Who May Lose His Job.
Photo by American Press Association.
According to reports, Clark Griffith's
■days ns n manager of the Cincinnatis
are numbered. Griffith hasn’t hud a
successful season-as lender of the Reds.
He finished in the tirst division year
before last and then led the second
brigade, trailing the dust mnde by the
Phillies. To sum it up, Grifflih is
abont to .lose his job unless the teani
gets to working better. Those in the
know say he has until July 5 to make
a showing ntid that unless he comes to
the front by that time Captain Mitch
ell will be placed in charge until his suc
cessor is appointed. Before he became
manager ot the Reds three seasons
ago he wns tnannger of the New York
Amerieahs, and before thnt he was the
pilot of the Chicago White Sos. As a
pitcher he had a brilliant career and
was considered to be one of the best
during his day. Since he has been in
the managerial end of the gnme he has
■won Just one pennant—that with the
Chicago club In the American league.
He came close to it with the New York
club, and there was a lot of kicking
In Gotham because he lost the pennant
in the last game.
Jennings Weak on Twirlerfi.
With the fact generally recognized
thnt a team with weak pitching, re
gardless of its offensive strength, does
not stand ranch of a chance in a- pen
nant race, it would be most remark
able if Detroit retained its lead in the
present campaign. To date Jennings'
twirlers have not shown the form that
one would expect from a team which
hopes to win the championship. In
nearly every game they have been
pounded, yet won because of the won
derful run getting proclivities of the
team behind them. But how long can
this state of affairs last?
Eventually the other pitchers will be
gin tn hold the Tigers down, nnd then
unless Jennings can produce pitchers
to fool biB opponents there is not a
chance for him to stny in first plnce.
' It is true enough that the Detroit team
has a great lead at the present time,
but It’s a long route to October, and its
friends feel that without Improved
pitching the team is going to have a
bard time of it before the wire is
reached.
Why Duffy Quit Swearing.
Hugh Duffy, the White Sox's man
ager. never swears On the playing
Held. None other tiinn Mike Kelly,
the old rime cntcber, broke Duffy of
swearing.
“Kelly made me think how bad
swearing sounded,” says Duffy. "Kel
ly was catching, and I kicked on a
strike. ‘It was right over, kid,’ he
said. I called him a liar, with an oath.
Kel didn’t say a Word back. Had lie
said something I would have thought
nothing more of It, but 1 was both
ered because he didn't reply. ’I’m sor
ry, Kel,’. 1 told him after the game,
and I got to thinking about what I
bad said and made up my mind nev
er to use that kind of language again."
Ty and Sam Have Made Up.
I Owen Bush, Detroit’s fast shortstop,
was the bone of contention between
Ty Cobb and Sam Crawford in their
recent quarrel. Most ball players have
one hit and run sign for the man pre
ceding them In the batting order. Cobb
has four or five. Bush got mixed up
on them two or three times—nt least
Cobb said he did—and Crawford took
the shortstop's part, telling Ty that
bis system was too complicated. The
bard feeling that existed between the
two star outfielders doesn't appear to
have hurt the Tigers n bit. Cobb is
the same Georgia peach, and Craw
ford Is showing more speed than at
any time in recent years.
HUMOROUS QUIPS
The Office Boy’s Metamorphosis.
The girl who runs the switchboard smiled
at mo.
I wonder If she'd answer "Yes" or "No"
If I should aBk to take her to a show?
The boss looked up this morning an' said,
"Gee,
It's marvelous tho way that boy does
growl"
Tho blond stenog downstairs looked up
an' smiled
When I came In an' called me "mister,”
too.
An' In her sweetest voice said, "Howdy-
do?"
The other day she used to call mo "child."
I'll mnlte a lilt with her before I’m
through.
The sporting editor came In nn hour ago
An’ shook my hand an' slapped my back
an' said:
"At last, I see. you’ve made the big
league, Fred.
Don't let the bleechers scare you. Stick
an' show
Your pluck. That Is tho way I got
ahead.”
Tho office poet—how I linte that man!—

An’ gavo mo good advlco to think upon.

All this because I got long trousers on.

The man that gets thc\dollar is the man that keeps after it. Da
not expect it to come to you. Go to it.
Hustle is the medicine that makes healthy home trade. 11
A good town does not happen by accident. It represents tlie
WORK of the people who are in it.
A prosperous store does not “just grow,” like Topsy. ’ It is the
result of the owner’s LABOR.
Make every dollar do some tall running before it gets away front
you and then DO NOT LET IT GET AWAY.
