from the Minneapolis Mlllers. Is lne
first Of the GrifTmen to volunteer for
military service. He has applied for
admission to the second bunch OF
officers reserve corps trai~'-g
camps.
Menosly's youth may initiate
against his chances of becoming an
oIicer, for he is but twenty-five
years old. However, he is well edu-
Gated, thoroughly in earnest in his
intention Of becoming an officer in
the new overseas army of Uncle Sam,
and is In perfect physical condition.
Those Of the Grihfmen eligible for
military service and having no de-
pendents include MenOsky. Rice,
Leonard, Morgan, Crane Harper, and
Charity. So far as may be learned,
most of these lads will take their
chances in the draft
VIII Go To Akron.
Tonight the Grifmen will go to
Akron, Ohio, where tomorrow they
are to play the New York Giants, just
now leaders in the National League
pennant race. Bert Gallia will prob
ably be used on the mound by the Old
Fox.
There will be much travelling by
American League clubs for Sunday
games tomorrow. Besides the long
Jump of the Grinmen, the Cleveland
and PHILADELPHIA clubs will hop to
Cleveland for battle, and the Detroit
Tigers will journey to Baltimore for
an exhibition contest with Jack
Dunn's Orioles. This last game was
postponed last Sunday on account OF
rain.
May BE Given Hook.
Manager Clark Griffith may be
suspended today when he appears at
the ball yard, for he sure did tell
Bill Dineen something yesterday. The
Old Fox, white with anger, was ban
ished from the field for kicking
ficials.
II is-a saying in the American
League that whenever Walter John
son or Eddie Foster kick, the UNI
piring must be rotten. Yesterday
both were kicking. Johnson roared
alike a lion when Bill Dineen called a
third strike on him in the fifth,
though the ball was about a foot
outside of the plate. He repeated
when called out at third in the
seventh. In both cases his kicks
seemed justified.
They Have Astigmatism.
Doth umpires seemed suffering
from astigmatism all afternoon, with
Dineen quite the worse. He allowed
Ty Cobb a pass, though the fourth
ball cut the heart of the plate. OF
course, Ty scored after that. They
always do.
johnson, who showed a fine burst
of speed, was bothered not a little
by the high wind. but his troubles
became worse as Bill Dineen got in
his deadly work. The big fellow was
wild as a hawk, but the Tigers should
never have received eight free tick
cts. Barney wasn't as wild as that.

The Griffmen have six more games
