On first was none other than

Pats Triple Settles Argument.
Two were out when Mr.. Charity
Eripped his bludgeon and toed the
rubber. He took one wicked cut
and spun around like a dancing der
wish when he missed. But the next
time he moved his bat things were
different. There was the old ball

when Galloway's peg to that sta
ton went past Dugan into the visit
ing bench. Two runs and the o4d
ball game was on ice.
That punch did the work and the
final score, if any one is waiting
for the announcement, was to 4.
1t gave the Griffs a clean sweep
over the Mackmen and their fourth
undisputed possession of second
place, and the only reason they
aren't on top is that those pesky
Yankees refuse to lose.
Mr.. Gharrity's blow was the one
that killed father. as the saying
goes. but it was only the piece de
resistance Of a thrilling battle.
Grin's Late to start.
Reversing the usual order Of
things, the Grifs failed to get an
early start and had to put on
lively finish to win.
For four rounds long Bob Hasty
looked like a world beater. only one
man reaching first and that was due
to an error. Brilliant fielding had
aided Hasty considerably. But In
the fifth the Griffs uncorked d trio
Of hits, including a double and
triple that got one run. That was
a starter. which was all they were
looking for.
A couple of hits and another run
in the sixth drove Hasty from the
mound. His successor was Bryan
Harris. another long boy who is a
real pitcher at times. The new
conner with the prominent teeth had
didn't know what to do with it. He
retired the side in the sixth, but in
the seventh a walk and three hits,
resulting in two runs which tied the
score. sent him to the bench to COM
pare notes with Hasty.
This left things to Rommel. whose
fall has been described in the open
ing paragraphs.
Erick Raped in First.
Most of the damage done by the
Athletics was in the first inning.
when they raped Ole Erickson's
side-arm slants freely and gathered
three runs. Another came in the
fifth. Erick gave way to Zachary in
the sixth after Brewer had been IN
jected as a pinch hitter, and JeZebel
Tecumseh performed in splendid
style. He allowed the visitors one
hit in the four frames he was in
charge of operations and was never
in danger. JeZ will do to bear
watching from now on.
Revenging himself for having
been run ragged in the previous
days game, Tilly Walker cut up in
a scandalous manner. He nicked
Erick for a brace of triples, giving
Duffy Lewis some running to do.
and took an extra base sock right
away from Sam Rice by a back

fourth. It might have been anything
from q double to a homer. 1t wasn't
Tilly's fault that the AS didn't win
this game.
Hopping on Erickson right off the
reel, the Mackmen were three runs

left. c. Walker sent a high one to
left, which Lewis lost in the sun.
1t was good for three bases, and
scored Dykes and witt. Brazill's
single to left counted Tilly.
Erick weathered the next three
rounds safely, but in the fifth Tilly
trfpled again and sprinted in when
BRAZIL laid down a neat bunt on
the squeeze play. That was all the
scoring for the visitors. as Zachary
had too much stuff in the remaining
innings.
Grifs Wake Up in Fifth.
Not until the fifth were the Grifts
able to do anything with Hasty.
who was turning them back with
monotOnous regularity. In that
frame Harris broke the ice with the
first local hit. a double to right.
Shanks followed with hot drive
to left, which went past Walker for
three bases, scoring Bucky. On

Charity singled "Blackie" to third

grounded out to BRAZIL. Judge drew
a pass and Milan had a great chance
with the bases full, only to rap an
easy one to Galloway.
Rice opened the sixth with a clean
drive to center. advanced on Lewis's
out, and dented the rubber on Har-
ris's second hit, a rap past. Dugan

Hasty. and Harris retired the side
when Shanks batted into a double
play.
Two More in Seventh.
Two more runs came in the sew
enth. With one gone, Charity drew
apass and Zacharay got a hit on a
hot one to Dugan, which was mess
ed up. Judge slapped one to right,
scoring Charity. and Milan dlttoed

tide for the nonce.
