the first time this season the
Griffmen today won a double
header. They accomplished this
dual victory by reason of far
superior all-around playing over
the Indians. The first game was
a nerve-racking struggle, which
the visitors won, 3 to 2, while the
second game was runaway once
the second inning was over. Joe
Boehling pitched the first game
and struck out ten. He was
capable in the pinches, and his
team did hitting enough to give
him three runs, which was suffi-
cient to land the bacon. But Joe
was in many tight places, good
fielding helping him out time and
again.
The second game saw the early
undoing OF doc" Ayers, but four
of the Indians pitchers also suf-
fered, while Jim Shaw proved
himself master and held the In
dams in absolute check for the
eight innings he worked. Behind
him his teammates hit the ball
hard and scored runs in punches,
so that Shaw had easy sailing
after he once got into the lead,
He was hit safely but seldom
and famed FIVE, while two of the
three hits charged against him
were the rankest of scratches.
