Clark Griffith From Stomach Washington (U.R) Clark Griffith, 85-year-old president of the Washington Senators and co founder of the American League, was reported near death today. Aides at Georgetown hospital said Griffith, baseball's oldest active executive, was in "very low" condition. They said the chances of his recovery from a stomach hemorrhage were "re mote." Griffith, baseball's "good will ambassador" and one of the craft iest traders in the business, was in the hospital for three days before he suffered the stomach hemorrhage Saturday night. He had been convalescing from an attack of neuritis when he was stricken. Dr. George Hesta, his physic ian, told reporters late Sunday night that Griffith's chances of recovery were "just fair." Hos pital attaches were more pessi mistic. The baseball career of the "old fox" covered 69 years as a play er, manager and owner. He was the personal friend of every president since 1912 when he started- the custom of having the chief executive throw out the ceremonial "first ball" of the season. Established Mound Record Griffith broke into profession al baseball at Bloonjingion, 111., at the age of 17 and went cn to establish a pitching record that ranks him among the top 12 hurl ers of all time. ' In : 17 full seasons of major league pitching, started in 1891, he won 237 games and lost 149. He hit his peak in 1905 when he introduced the "screwball" to pitching. Griffith was pitching for the old Chicago Nationals when a group of insurgents left to form the American League. He was one of the leaders and joined the New York Highlanders now the Yankees as manager. In 1921, he purchased the Washington club of the Amer ican League known as the Na tionals. As president of the Nats, he displayed the same craftiness that had .distinguished him as a pitcher. A soft-spoken man with twin kling eyes, Griffith probably de veloped and sold more baseball talent for more money than any why Ancient Age All we distill is Kentucky straight bourbon. We know that bourbon of the finest quality requires choice grains. That's all we use. We know it calls for the greatest skill in distilling. The men who guide the making of Ancient Age are the most experienced in the industry. And it takes lots of time. That's why we wait six full years for careful aging to bring the quality ingredients to their peak of maturity. Near DeatK Hemorrhage one else with the oossible ex ception of Connie Mack of the old Philadelphia Athletics and Branch Rickey. He also served at the helm of one baseball club longer than any man except Mack. Calvin Griffith, one of seven adopted children, is executive vice-president of the Nats, and is his father's heir apparent as head of the club. The Griffith family owns 51 per cent of the club. . .
