everybody scrubbing clothes.

KANSAS CITY WORKS
BERT GALL|A HARD
Griffith Fairly Raves When In
formed Of Youngsters Pitch
ing Double Header.
By THOMAS KIRBY.

CLEVELAND, Ohio. Aug 3.-Clark
Griffith fairly raved today as he read
the reports from Kansas City that Bert
Gallia. who is the property of the
Washington club. pitched both games
of a double-header in the American
Association Sunday.
There should be some rule against
this sort of thing" said Griffith.
I'VE put Gallia out there in the hopes
of having him obtain experience and
now they are rubbing 1t in and are
working him so hard that I understand
he has lost many pounds. It's all right
to be the hero of a double-header, but
that does not get us anything and I am
going to try to see II / can't have II
stopped before it is too late and our
property is destroyed"
The press of Cleveland has practically
unanimously launched a demand for the
retirement of Joe Birmingham. The
scribes declare that while this city has
remained loyal to the Maps in their
early misfortunes. they have dropped
so far that they have fallen from the
pedestal they once occupied. Il will be
necessary to rehabilitate the Maps
through the process of regeneration and
the opinion here seems to be that Bir-
mingham is not the man large enough
to bring out these things.
If the Nationals were the only team
the Maps had to beat they would be
we'll up in the race. Thus far they have
played .615 against the Griffmen.

Dan Moeller and Mike Mitchell each

scoring by some of the Cleveland scribes

his fingers TO the ball. Later ne got a
single and double. the latter driving in
two runs for the Griffs in the eighth.
Mitchell continues to whale the ball
to all quarters with as much vicious
ness as any one on the club. Two sin
giles. a double, and a sacrifice were his
contribution yesterday.
Once more wildness proved costly to
.Joe Engei. In less than half of the
game, Cleveland gathered four runs on
three hits and four bases on balls. the
latter giving a good idea of how the
pitcher was constantly getting himself
into trouble because the batters were
fling erratically.

Doc Ayers. and then the Maps chances
