the classic cup. Last Saturday Williams

Church. the Western title holder. In tho
year that Williams won the national
title he was more or less Of a disap-

and. therefore. created some surprise
when short time later he defeated
Mclaughlin for the national champion
ship. Last year Williams did not reach
the final round in the national. which
was contested by Mclaughlin and john
ston. While Williams did not succeed in
retaining the national title for longer
than one year he has succeeded in ac-
complishing what none Of the cham
pions have been able to DOWN the
Achelis Cup. The trophy has been In
competition since 1893 and In the four

William Clothier have won two legs.

BOSTON. Mass. Aug. l5.-Fight-
ing like the coming champions them
selves. the Griffmen COPIED the second
battle Of the series here, 2 to 1. largely
because Bert 0allia was good. Joe Boeh-
ling was lucky and Ray Morgan poled
q double after two men had been passed
by Carl Mays. the lone underfand
twirler In the league.
The 0riffs were behind, to O. when
the seventh opened. Jameson and Henry
persisted when Mcbride drew a free
ticket to first base. Moeller relieved
Gallia. and he. too. drew a pass. Then
up stepped Morgan. who had already
slammed out two singles. This time he
cracked the pill right on the proboscis,
driving II to the bank in left center for
two sacks. and scoring Mcbride and
Moeller. .. .'
+ However. the Red sox were still in
the fray They did not curl up and
die just because the visitors had gone
ahead OF them. In their half OF the
battle, after Walker had died, Gard

grabbed the ball and threw to second
for a force play. Mcbride dropped the

The Red sox were dangerous again In
the finish. nghting to the very last.

for a beginner and went up on Scott's
sacrifice bunt. Gamer acted like a Ash

Harry Harper, the Hackensack south
paw. will very likely open the series

with Boehling, but was not used.
Ray Morgan's hitting was brilliant.
He alone of all the Griffmen was able
70 find Mays consistently, The first
time up he slammed a single to right.
The next time Hooper managed to get
under hts fly ball. The third time he
beat out n slow one to Mays. and the
last time he doubled to the bank In left
center. deciding the victory In favor OF
the Capitolians. Morgan was pretty
near the whole thing for the Griffs.
The game was enlivened by the pres

panied by fife and drum corps. This
latter musical attachment, however,
was not heard until the seventh inning
when suddenly 1t came to life. and did
