CLEVELAND. June 5.-clark Grif-
nth, manager OF the Washington
GriImen, opines that 10 all American
League clubs were as easy picking as
the Indians, It would be entirely IN
necessary for him to augment his
present abbreviated pitching stan.
The Griffs closed their hrst local en-
gagement here Tuesday, and happy
indeed were the Indians when Griffith
and company Wended their way De-
troitward, for they won three OF the
four games played, while the Tribes
lone victory was the funniest sort Of
a huke.
Harry Harper, Walter johnson, and
Jim Shaw, the latter on Tuesday all
took the measure Of the Indians, ana
the only reason Doc Ayers, the other
member Of Grihth's hurting corps,
didn't best the home hopes was be-
cause he gave way to a pinch hitter
after seven innings Of good pitching
Monday. while on Tuesday he acted
as relief hurler for I'VE innings, fol-
lowing an injury to Shaw after the
game was won.
Any time you insert two passes, an
Infeld single, and a corking triple in
one round, all coming in a row except
for an infeld out between the two
gifts, you can write II down in your
little book that it's going to spell dis
aster for the opposing team. That's
what the Griffs did yesterday, the
single and thres-ply blow coming in
the nth round. Washington winning.
Took a Lucky Break.
At that, it took the luckiest kind Of
lucky break for the Nationals to
land the bacon. Exclusive OF the
fifth chapter, Guy Morton was we'll
nigh invincible, allowing only six hits
all told. But he worked his own
undoing in the NTH when he franked
Schultz and after Morgan had been
thrown out at first, he duplicated the
gift to Lavan.
Ainsmith sent a sharp bounder to-
ward WambsgRnss, and it looked like
the stage was set for a fast double
play, but just as Wamby was about
to grab the ball, IL took sharp
bound high in the air and he barely
knocked II down. the blow counting
for a single and filling the bases.
Jim Shaw poled the Old apple into
the extreme left field corner for a
triple, clearing the bases. There was
no discounting the smash; It was
legitimate line drive that fairly burn
ed the ozone en- route TO left.
Shaw Injuries His Leg.
Jim was forced to slide into the
bag, and in so doing wrenched his
right leg. The injury was so painful
he gave way to q pinch runner, Der
