of tin awkward situation. It took some backing 'and filling, but Griffith has succeeded In minimizing the embarrassment and unfairness of the manner In which Chuck Dressen was chucked out as manager and has signed the little man to what may prove more important duties ns chief talent scout. A field manager of Dressen's undeniable ability was largely wasted with the type of personnel the Senators placed at his disposal.
