Red Sox Defeat Griffmen
In Fourth Game of Series
Babe Ruth Suspended for
Breaking Club Rules
By Manager.
By s. III. BAKER.

Ed Barrows' Boston Red Sox
landed the final game of the series
from the Griffmen at the Florida
avenue bailiwick yesterday, by
swatting the deliveries of trio OF
pitchers. by a 6-to-1 count.
The wrecking crew OF the Hub
tribe. lead by Harry Hooper. who
gathered four hits while his clan
run up a total to fifteen, without
the clouting of one Babe Ruth. who
was suspended for a breach of train
ing rules by Manager Barrows-
When the Red SoX found they were
going to be minus Ruth they gritted
their teeth with a determination to
pound their way to victory. While
his teammates were clouting the old
apple for singles and doubles Ray
Caldwell. in his first appearance OF
the 1919 campaign. was holding the
home folks safe.
The slim telegraph operator was
finished artist in his performance. as
he held the Nationals off all the way.
He was in a tight hole in the eighth.
but superb fielding behind the long
twirler kept the Griffmen from scor-
ing. In the final frame for the Grill
men. Caldwell weakened. and the lone
marker was pushed across the dish
with the aid OF Walter johnson in
ch-hitter role.
Harry Thompson, who was selected
by the Old Fox to do duty in the
center of the diamond. was hit hard
all the time he occupied the hill as
seven hits for a trio OF runs were
scored on him. Jim Shaw, who TOOK
up the hurting work in the third. was
treated in like manner. although he
he a fRxxy mi
utes Shaw was followed by Mollie
Craft. who worked the final inninS.
and the Red Sox went out in order.
But the Hub tribe had done the dam
age in the early innings, so were not
after any more tallies.
Everett Scott, at short for the Sox,
made nice stop and throw on jan
vrin's grass cutter in fifth and Stuffy
McInnis completed the play when he
jumped into the air and speared tho
ball. coming down and tagging Hal
before he reached the bag. Milan
raced to deep right-center in ninth
for Strunk's line drive. making the
catch over his shoulder. Had the pill
gotten away from the fleet footed out
fielder ii would have been good for
two il not three bases.
Harry Hooper opened up the attack
he doubled to right. Barry sacrificed
him to third when he dropped one in
front of the pitcher which was too
slow for Thompson TO make a play on
Hooper at the hot corner. Strunk
singled to center and Hooper crossed
the dish with counter number one.
After Scott had been retired in the
second by Foster at the initial sack
Schang singled to left and Caldwell
sacrificed him to second and Hooper s
second hit scored the catcher.
In the third inning the lombard
ment started Strunk singled to left
and Gamer followed suit with an
other into right. which scored Amos.
McTnnis popped up TO Foster. Witt
singled to left and Gamer tailed with
marker number two. Scott sacrificed
Witt TO the keystone sack, being re-
tired himself by Shaw to Judge. but
on Wally Schang's second hit Oscar
/ took third and attempted 10 score.
but was run down between Foster
| and Picinich. Again in the fifth the
Hub tribe got busy with their bats
on Shaw and scored a pair of tallies.
Strunk was issued free transporta-
ton; Gamer took a vicious swing at
! the pill and dumped it in front of
the plate, being thrown out by Pici-
mich while Strunk scooted for second.
McInnis skyed to Milan, but when Witt
singled to right Strunk scored tally
one. Witt going to second on the
throw-in. Witt scored on Scott's hit
to right. Scott attempted to swipe
second. but Val threw him out at the
keystone corner.
The Nationals lone tally came il
the ninth. Milan was given a life
after looking over four wide ones
Shanks binGled to right and Milan
went to second and scored on John
sons single to left field. johnson was
pinch-hitting for Crafts and scored
the only run for the home folks with
his drive
