The opening Of the final series'of
the Grifrmen in their own back yard
was made suspicious largely because
| they were able to pound Herb Pen
mock for double the total of six
base hits obtained by the Red Sox
on Courtney. Neither of the south
paws who started was able to go
the route. Pennock being driven to
cover in the fifth following a heavy
bonn bardment. and Courtney being
lifted in the sixth after unmistakabi
evidences of progressive wildness.
Both karr and Acosta exactly fitted
| the prescription for emergency hurl-
srs. the Hubbite yielding but two
rounds. while the Cube permitted
only one scratch safety in the final

action in the third, when Judge
walked and Shanks sacrificed. two
runs developing when Roth followed
Rfce's single with a two-base smack

walked Hendryx. Schang emitted a
one-base knock. and both rode home

and, after Pennock walked, Harris
tossed out Hooper.
The Griffs came right back in their
half and amassed their three other
tallies. ONeill, Charity and Court
Eey all singled, the latter's being

The third Bostonian ma rker accorded
in the sixth when Courtney winged
Scott and was lifted after McNaIly
stung him for a single. Acosta got rid
Of Brady. and walked Karr to I'LL the
bases. Scott scoring on Hoopers loft
to Roth.
Round was something Of freak
inning, in that Courtney walked three
Sox in a row, with none of them getting
beyond the initial station, while the
Griffs located Pennock for three singles
in succession yet advanced a runner noI
farther than the midway. Charity
tagged Witt stealing after he had walked
and nipped Menosky off first after Mike
had been free-ticketed, while the pass
