The Griffmen have eQualed their per.
fcrmance of 1872 by finishing in second
place once more this season. When
Earl Moseley crunpled up before the
attack of the Capitolians yesterday in
the fifth inning Of the second game. the
final honor. of the Griffmen were de-
termined for the season. They had
beaten out the Maps. just as they had
beaten out the Mackmen the year be-
fore.
Two clubs have won their series from
the Griffmen, the Athletics and the
Tigers. Every other club has had to
bow its head in defeat. with the single
exception of the White Sox. The Windy
City tribe managed to break even with
the Climbers this year. but New York.
Boston, st. Louis, and Cleveland have
been humbled. Following js the work

The double-header with the Red Sox
Yesterday also settled the final position
OF the Red Sox. From a worlds cham
pion outfit they are now pleased to get
a good grip upon the final rung OF the
first division ladder. The moment they
had won their needed contest, the visi-
tors cared little what happened after
little baseball humor before the final
curtain came down for the day.
Joe Gedeon the California catamount,
nroved the bright particular star in the
field by staging a shoestring catch OF
Walter Rehg's fly in the seventh frame.
Gedeon came In like steam engine

launched himself through the air, slid
along the ground on his left ear and
se.zed that pill right off the grass In
. deed, the fans were surprised to see him
held the pill. "'Zeb" Milan has general
