Griffin played hla first organised baseball with the I-Incoln club of the Western league in 1917. He was sold to Baltimore in 1919 and was with that club ons season. The Orioles traded him to Memphis, i with which club he played the sea | sons of 1919 and 1920. Its came to 1 Omaha in the spring of 1921. J Grinin lias a lifetime hatting aver : age of .312. Ills year was in 1921 | when he rlouted globule at a season’s clip of .361, being one of the 10 lead ; ing bitters that year, lie also rol I levied 22 home rims. Griffin's average dropped from 361 In 1921 to .329 In 1923. The drop was probably due if) the fact that Griffin lengthened his hitting swing In an effort to hoist his home run aver age. However, his home run average suffered as a result, he having col lected 20 as compared to 22 In 1821. Thla year, If Griffin ean bo prevailed upon to shorten Ills swing, he prob ably will finish well up among the leading swatters, as lie Is only 2t, and Hip best part of his career Is ahead •f him. ■> Griffin began playing ball ss a first baseman, at which hs was gs stellar a performer as he Is In the outfield. He played first base with Lincoln and Baltimore and one year ut first for Memphis. The secohd year with the Southern association dub he was switched to the outfield. Whimsical fate caused Orlfflu to be outfielder. The Memphis club had Griffin and another first baseman, !n 1920, but lacked a man for the apple orchard. Griffin volunteered to lake a shot at the outfield und liked It and has alncs played that rola, Halting IIpcoTiI O. ATI n. II Til ill.
