Behind the former Merchant and CCC hurler will be one of the best aggrega tions the Lithians have placed in the field and, if his performances of the last two weeks are an indi cation, Griggs should be- able to avenge an early season session on his enemy’s bench.

Ijist Sunday at Glendale they held their oppon ents in check with the three-hit pitching of young Orval Hoffman, winning easily 5-1. The Merchants also will have their eye on that no-loss record at home, and will have an appetite for rebuffing their former teammate.
