been battered from pillar to post
by three Western teams during
, their absence from home, the GrinsI
emuIated the well-known turning

fng out Of the Detroit Tigers. Piay-
ing in steady rain, the Wasning
tonians put on a rare exhibition OF
fancy, long distance hitting, nav
ing a margin of 3 to- when the
melee was called in the sixth TOO
late for the $4,000 to get ram
checks.

thirteen runs, when there were TWO

the score to revert back to the nfth
inning.
Up to that unfinished sixth the
Griffs unloosed all the extra base
swats that had been pining for

Weeks. They hammered out eight
hits for a total of twenty-one bases
including two home runs, two
triples and three doubles. Only one
of these eight hits was less than
. double.

Bobby Roth initiated the batting
bee when he drove the pill over
the left field wall in the first In
ring. and Sam Rice annexed the
other circuit push by hitting TO
deep center in the fifth. after Zeb
Milan had tapped a mere triple to
left.
