CLEVELAND, Aug. II. - The
Griffmen are resting here today be-
fore entering upon their triple scrap
with Lee Fohls' Indians. Again on
the Western half Of the circuit, the
courage Of the boys has appeared,
and one and all declare that the four
clubs out here will have to pay for
those defeats back in Boston, home
Of the coming champions. More or
less fatigusd from their long ride,
the Griffn1en loafed about the hotel,
not caring to stir themselves. The
movie fiends plan a rushing business
for tonight, though.
That defeat in Boston was tho
final drop in the bucket Of Griffith's
unhappiness. He had counted on
winning at least one game from the
Red Sox at Fenway, Park, and he
was considerably disgusted when
the gods Of war decided against him.
Eleven games have been played by
the Griffmen in Boston, and not once
have the Capitolians come out on the
long end. The Red Sox have re-
placed the Mackmen as the official
Jinx for the Nationals.
Manager Griffith stayed in Boston to
sec the dedication of the Braves new
park. at Allston, tomorrow. The Old
Fox will twirl the first ball to George
stallings when the game between tho
Braves and Cardinals IL started. and
the ball or strike will be counted in the
official score.
Plans had been made in Boston to
entertain one Of the largest crowds Of
baseball players. managers, owners. and
writer's that has ever assembled out
side Of worlds series. Owner Gaff-
entertaining. and nearly every invita-.
ton was accepted. Every member Of
dhe Baseball writer's Association Of
America was invited.
