BUFFALO, N. r, May 31.-Never
was a lay-off more welcome to Clark
Grinith than that Of today. Forced to
enter a four-game series in two days
at Boston with a short-handed and
overworked staff, his hurlers are
pretty well used up and the respite of
today made possible by the cancella-
tion Of the final contest with the Red
Sox will aid greatly in fitting his staff
for the series with the Indians. which
gets under way tomorrow.
II proper train connections can be
made here the Nationals this after
noon will enjoy the novelty Of watch
ing q game in their "cits" clothes
from the grandstand. The White Sox
are scheduled to play Fohl's tribe in
Cleveland today and barring delays en-
route the Griffmen will reach, the
sixth city in plenty of time to witness
the battle.
The Nationals to a man were glad
to get away from Boston, where the
weather was uncomfortably cold and
where their stay was as Improbable
as 1t was short. OF the four games

day afternoon, when Ayers let the
leaders down with half dozen bin

Although the Barrowites outhit
the Griffmen by a margin of only
four in the series. getting thirty-fye
safeties as against thirty-one, they
scored more than twice as many runs
their total being sixteen against seven
for Washington. At that Boston to

feats. each having won and lost five
in their ten clashes together.

Ayers work in the afternoon en-

relief compared with that of the
other Washington hurlers who had
preceded him in the series. The ply

tory of the season and his third
shutout. never really was in dan

far as second base on him. while the
Nationals effectively punched hits on
young McCabe in two rounds.
The weather in the afternoon had
moderated somewhat from that Of the
morning. and, although still chilly
and threatening. a crowd OF more
than 10000 was on hand.
Eddie Foster maintained his hit
ting streak. collecting two blows in
the pre-luncheon affair and one in
the afternoon, making nineteen con-
secutive contests in which he has
hit safely. In the sojourn at Boston
the midget third sacker registered
six bingies in fourteen times at bat
for an average Of .429. Eddie got his
safe crack in the evening encounter.
In the first round Shotton had led
off with a hit, but was doubled up
with Judge, and Milan's line drive
was shared by Shean.
In the second inning things broke
better. however, and the Nationals
garnered their first tally on con-
