July rolled into one. 1t didn't matter
a bit whether you were for the League
of Nations or agin it. II you were a
good fellow you could play.
The crowd was Republican one,
though, without a doubt. In the hotel

fervent cheering for Harding when the
returns were read. The crowds in the
theatres felt the same way about It.
In front of the Young Mems Repub-

after the Union League members fin

ping when the sheet opposite piled ur
winning totals for Harding. The mer
and women congregated there were IN

ranking. are down for the 1inal round

Doyle is in form.
Moore disposed of c. NJ Charest,
the Baltimore champion, at Columbia
yesterday. A high wind made good
tennis impossible. Moore won in
straight sets by 81, 6-2, 6-1.
Doyle had no trouble in defeating
John Temple Graves, jr., by scores of

No information was given out to-

affair will be staged either today or
tomorrow. Matches in the consola-

The week just closed is Il good ex-
ample of what eliminating the freak
stuff will do for the batters. The
close races in both circuits slid into
the discard when the hits, ruNs and
extra bases were counted up.
To be sure the Eastern seaboard
looked for all like a shell devastated
region in France when the sluggers
got through with the pitchers. All
records went by the boards.
During the week in both circuits
fortyteight home runs were made.
Cries of rabbit BALI mean nothing
when ii is considered that the battcrs
were in there poking them. The
American League players got thirty
home runs in seven days and tire
NaticraI Leaguers got eighteen.
Babe" Ruth clocked off his fif-
teenth home run and yesterday hit
one against the top of the fence,
which only counted for triple. In
the American League in twenty-eight
games 500 runs were made on 571
hits. In the National League $50
runs were made on 532 hits in TWEEN
ty-seven games.
That is hitting. and scoring and
action, which the fans want and pay
for and what is drawing big crowds
all during the week. The fact that
the Yankees played to more than
100000 fans last week is instance of
the. desire for action. And, incident
ally, that $135.000 paid for Ruth ap-
pears to be pretty well invested.
Griffs Do Quite Well.
An encouraging sign of the times
is the return OF the Griffian pitch
ing clan to something like form. Bill
Snyder got his trial yesterday, and
was relieved by Erickson, who went
along well enough. Then Zachary
went into the going and stopped the
Red Sox.
II the Griffs can get pitching on
this trip West. they will win a lot
OF ball games. And who knows?
Some success in the box coupled with
the murderous hitting that seems to
be a part of the Griffs campaign
this season means that the clan will
be up and doing in the first division.
Jim Shaw may come around to last
years form and with two or three
youngsters showing the right sort of
stun aud Johnson and Erickson in

Pennock failed to cover first or else
more than 10000 fans would have
been forced to see the Red Sox grab
that last home stand game. Pennock
had the Griffmen eating out of his
hand. With a four run lead he LOOKED
too good and up to the seventh APP
peared to have the game safely tucked
away. But the Griffs snatched it
and 4.
Wally Schang had accounted for
two drives which turned in three
runs and otherwise had helped the
Red Sox materially. Off Snyder the
former champions gained two safeties
and with Erickson going poorly got
two more.
But that seventh robbed the Red
Sox of their chance, set down Everett
Scott for showing Brick" owen
around and gave the home folks their
chance to cheer.
Started with Singles.
Ellerbe and O'Neill singled at the
start of the seventh. Charity flied
to HendryX and Picinich, batting for
Erickson, famed on three pitched
ones. Howard Shanks inserted him
self in the fracas and cracked a double
to right, scoring Ellerbe. Mifan's rap
to McNally was so far to the left that
O'Neill and Shanks scored.

Schang threw wild and he beat 1t to
