Special Dispatch to The Star.
BOSTON. June Manager Clark
Griffith is having his troubles with his
pitching staff. He has given each and
every one except Johnson chance
at the world champions. and 50 far has
failed to land a game in the present
series. Today being the one upon
which the flag denoting the American
League pennant winner is to be hoist

thrower, which means much to any
club.
In yesterdays game the smuggling by
the champions was the hardest seen
at the local park. but the fielding of
the Grifmen kept many a run from
coming in. For instance, three hits,
two of them two-bag gers. only put one
run over in the first, and sharp work
by the Nationals stopped runs in the
second and third. so for the first seven
hits the champions only had one run
to show Gallia was bombarded in the
fourth and Harper suffered at the hands
or the Bostonians in the sixth. each
occasion being marked by the runs
coming in after two men had retired.
The Senators couldn't seem to land on
Vean Gregg. who pitched his f1rst real
game of ball of the season. Only six
men were left on bases. and but once
prior to the eighth inning did they have
chance to score. This was in the sec
ond, when with men on second and
hrst and two out and Mcbride up, he hit
one that was tagged for at least two
bases Hoblitzell ran toward second
base and just grabbed the liner. which
was robbins the man of a hit and the
team of run or two.

tempted steal was a brilliant piece of
work. with Jameson up. but the bail
beat him to it. Milan also cut off a run
in the third with a fine throw into the
infleld to Mcbride. getting Lewis at the
plate.
Manager Griffith. when it was plain
that there was no chance to win the
game, and it didn't look as II his team
would even score, sent Williams in to
