The Screwball Pitch and Griff The Old Fox
The piece traces the screwball's origin to Clark Griffith of the Washington Senators and his influence on early 20th century pitching and strategy. It notes Jack Horner as originator per Griff, Griff’s perfection of the delivery, and details his 1904 White Stockings season. The article also recounts the squeeze play tied to Chesbro and Keeler, plus Griff’s brief Yankees tenure and 1908 firing leading to Reds hire.

Norris Admits Eyeing Six Heavyweight Contenders
In federal court James D. Norris, head of the International Boxing Club and Madison Square Garden Corp, says he does not hold exclusive deals with six top heavyweight contenders but would like to. He confirms exclusive contracts with Sandy Saddler, Bud Smith, Sugar Ray Robinson, and with heavyweight champion Rocky Marciano until just before his title defense last September. The government accuses Norris and associates of monopolizing U S championship fight promotion from 1949 to 1953 through exclusive contracts, a claim Norris acknowledges considering.

VMI Rejects 1956 AAU Meet Over William and Mary Case
The AAU ruled William and Mary ineligible after two of its runners faced professional Wes Santee in an April dual meet. VMI said it wants no part of the state AAU meet and will not assist or participate. The move complicates site arrangements as officials consider future participation while the Southern Conference notes no rule blocks service teams with ex-professionals.
