Newspaper Page Text".f i r Time goes on and apparently so does Bunny Griffiths, Sena tors' "Little Skipper" of v40-4). Letter from Little Jawn says he's short-stopped in every one of the 85 games his New York 'club (Class C Inter-State league) has played and feels more than good enough to finish out the 43 left to go. Claims he's having one of his best seasons ever and f was picked to shortstop the "West! nine in the loop's all star game." Not bad f or a guy wboTL never see 40 again and ; was ; banged rup so badly last season he played only 12 games before retiring to heal up. In cidentally, the official Baseball Guide, 'compiled and presented by Judge Landis and his aides, lists Bunny i as having hit .250 arid fielded 1898 for Rome (NY) in-the. Canadian-Americanjcir-. cuit last season . i . Speaking of the.- Guide and getting 'closer tfi WnmV. it lists no less -than flve new records: for ouf de- I r BUNNY GMFFTTHS -parted Western International leaguers. Spokane's Vic Buccola (now Coast Guarder stationed in San Francisco) swiped 52 bases which made Walt Bliss (Yakima, 1940) 46 second best; Dwight Aden fielded .992 in center for the Spokes, a new high; Foxy Don Osborn's.earned run average was 1.63 per 1 game for Vancouver, which bested the 1.78 set by Bill Fleming . for Bellingham in 38; Chraley, Schanz hurled 29 com plete games, another " new high, and pur Willie Johnson's six thefts of home plate was . a feat never before equalled by,a WILer. ' Coining right down to It, we'd 1 like to "know of any player In ? organised ball In recent history who has copped home six times ' in a season. Bet Hub Kittle Is still . "burning - ever those two' In a row Bill swiped on him oat here 'last summer. "r Same Old Story - , -What's; happened to now ex San Diego - Manager "Sid" , Durst is what happens to most any of .'em when they" fall to second' division with club after - wrangling ; with head office boss before : season: You'll recall . Padre Boss Major Lott as having been looking for a new skipper last winter. Finally he again signed Durst The club was doing fine until ; it 1 started i losing all its better players to the armed forces, certainly no fault of Durst's; but then came the inevit able nose dive... So -now -Durst is out and he. himself states he was forced to resign "because the front office didn't think I was doing wen enough with the player material on hand." From the looks of what. Durst had left 4o build a . first-division club1 out of, it would have been just as easy for him to build a housed out of straw." So because he could n't make nothing and nothing add up to one, two, three, or four the Coast loop loses a really hustling manager and through nd fault of ' his own. .
