LOSE IN TENTH, As
Griffmen Hit Hard, But Not as
Timely as Yankees.
ERRORS ALSO ARE COSTLY
BY DENMAN THOMPSON.

Griffith's realigned athletes exhibited
punch enough to crawl up even with
the Yankees on three different occa-
sions yesterday, but failed on their
fourth attempt and lost another ball
game, to 3, in ten innings. 1t was
the third extra session game for the
locals this season, and it went the way
of the others-to the enemy-and, as in
both of the Others, the relief hurler
spilled the beans.
Bert Gallia was the offender on this
occasion Being injected into the hos
tilities in the ninth in place of Du
Mont. who had been removed in favor
of a pinch hitter, Gallia set the Yanks
down in order. but in the next round he
started by walking Nunamaker. Bert
picked up Shocker's sacrifice bunt and
in an attempt to force Nunamaker at
second threw TO center field. Morgan
engineered a fast double play with
Judge that retired Shocker and Gill
hooley, Nunamaker taking third on the
play and scoring what proved to be the
winning run when Hughey High sin
gled on a line over McBride's head.
Morgan, Menosky and Henry were un-
able to do anything with Shocker's Of

Good Boxing at Ardmore Club.

The card presented at the Ardmore
Club last night by the Maryland Ath-
letic and Social Club was a good one
and attracted a packed house. Kid
Seeler and Silent Howard, in the main
bout of fifteen rounds, put up a great
battle and a draw resulted. Another
good scrap was that of eight rounds
between White and Conroy, the latter
getting the decision. Ahearn and
