Griffmen won three games In Boston

cision in 1915. The heroes of tho
triumph, which was the first game or
a double-header yesterday, were Har-

allowed only two scattered hits in the
first six innings and when he became
unsteady and walked three men in the
seventh Gallia went in. retired the side
and pitched unhittable ball the re-
mainder Of the way. Ainsmith figured
because of his mighty triple in the
fourth frame which scored Leonard and
cause of hit and Jamey because OF an
error by Agnew Ainsmith himself
scored after Judge had flied to Walker.
The former Griffmans throw to the
plate was accuracy itself. but Agnew
dropped the ball. The other run of the
contest. which ended to 0, was forced
in by George Foster in the third inning,
when he walked Rice with the bases
filed.
