Acosta's absence is sure to be felt
by the team, he excels as a relief
pitcher and would have been worked
in turn on this trip. Now Jim Shaw
and Olaf Erickson will have to
shoulder the Cuban's burdens. They
have the shoulders, all right. but they
show little else. They hardly rank
with Acosta In usefulness.
DEPARTED ON SUNDAY.
Acosta received the sad news con-
cerning the illness at home on Sun

Bride to reJoin the team as soon az
possible. but he may be absent for

cling the bases and hitting ths dirt
in the extreme heat being too much
for the veteran. Bing Miller. who re-
placed Milan, caught the only ny
sent in his direction and produced the
wallop that quite broke the back Of
tnc opposition.
With three on. Bing hammered the
ball to the embankment in center. In
Washington II would have gone
almost to the end Of the jury box in

and Bins was perching safely on

Mcbride, but don't take anything

great pitching and plenty Of hitting.

as fast as they appear.

The Griffs humbled their ancient
enemy. Sam Jones. in the opening
contest. 4 TO 1. This achievement
alone would have made the holiday
a grand success, for Jones had not
lost a game to the Griffmen this year
till yesterday.
DISPOSED OF JOE BUSH.
But to cap the whole and put
everybody In good humor. the Nc
Bride gang staged a great ninth
defeated Joe Bush, Z to 3. in the
second clash, by scoring nve runs.
Zachary. while hit oftener than
Jones. was far steadier and equally
effective. The Griffs won when they
punched three doubles with a pass
in tho NTH inning. Later. a muffed
fly let another Griffman tally. but
that run was not needed.
Courtney, while unsteady, was ef-
fective, and all the luck was with
him. He issued six passes. but he
allowed only seven hits. Most Of the
lucky breaks favored him.
Zek Milan's catch Of Nitzkie's low
liner, falling on his face as he cluns
to the ball. was the feature Of the
opening game.
which Courtney put his team ahead
with a two-bagger to left and Bing
Miller clinched things by driving
over three runs with a mighty wallop
over the center felder's head fea-

long Uncle Nick Altrock entertained
the fans with his very best brand of
comedy.
Two more double-headers are due
here before the Griffs go West, and

An, the Lord made the world to go around and around. Amen. was the response. And the Lord made two axles for the world to go round on. and he put one axle at the north pole and one axle at the south pole. /" Amen. " agreed the congregation. And the Lord put a lot of Oli and axle grease in the center of the earth 80 as to keep the axles well greas- ed and oiled. ' Amen. said the congregation.
