BY LOUIS A. BOUCHER.

CHICAGO. ILL.,. June 12.-For the
coming four days the Griffs will hook
up in daily battles with White Sox
for the honor OF holding fourth place
in the bitter American League race.
The Red Sox have left Chicago fans
peeved and Gleasons gang enraged.
Therefore, the Griffs may expect
plenty of trouble. before heading for
Cleveland. their next stop. Prexy
Griffith seems well pleased with the
start his team has made here in the
West, and does not hesitate in saying
that a first division berth will be
his when he returns to Washington.
The series at st. Louis ended with
an even break when the Browns took
the final victory. s to Z, in sloppy
exhibition. 'Weilman was given a
pounding but errors nullified much
of the Griffs clouting. The Brownies
were outhit, but they were steadier
and so were able to divide the series
honors with the Washing gtonians.
The Griffs treated Carl Weilman
rudely in the first. jamming over

the part of Shanks. Hank started

And so the two-inning .twirler was
| on his way. walking to save care-fare
| and to shake down his breakfast. He
| was back in time for Scoffins, and,
naturally, had something to say.
Boiled down, here is the sad tale. the
truth of which is not vouched for by
your correspondent, who is an honor
able man.
Happening in the neighborhood of
| the coliseum, Jim ran into man
| from Pittsburgh. The man knows an
! other man who plays in the same
poolroom where Jim stops in during
the winter to borrow a cigarette and
light at the cigar counter.
Hello, Mike" says Jim, what you
doing in town"
Hello, Jim," says Mike; "just
looking around. I'm a delegate to
the convention"
Just the guy I'm looking for. con-
tinues Jim. Trot me around, l want
to see this here Republican platform:
and where can find Ring Lardner?
There's a guy / want to put right.
He's got us ball players all wrong.
He don't give us no brains in his ar
ticles."
Started Their Parade.
So Jim and Mike, the delegate,
started their parade. They couldn't
get into the coliseum. so great was
the mob. They went on to the hori-
zon. There they saw a fat man
standing in the middle of a crowd,
all giggling. Mike dragged Jim
over and introduced him to Irv Cobb.
"Glad to meet yer," said Jim.

header with the Yanks last week"

said Cobb, and the gang grinned.
-Going to pitch today?"

Jim.
That's good I'll go out to the
game"
Took Jim Away.
Mike then took Jim away from
that place. They adjourned back to
the Coliseum and ran into Ring Lard

something, just as II he'd got the
news OF a quart or something.
