seemingly unable to go more than
five or six innings, they may bag
both contests billed here.

himself with two singles, driving in
two runs and scoring one himself.

for the home boys. He didn't last
long. The Yankees belted and banged
him all over the lot in the second
inning, collecting five hits and walk
for hve runs
In the fourth the-visitors got after
him again, and after he had been
hit safely four times, Zachary faded
away. Al Schacht came next He
gave six hits while he toiled through
the seventh. Jim Shaw, pitching the
last two frames, was unhittable.
GRIFFs START WELL.
The Griffs got away to q good
start, polling three blows for two
runs off Waite Hoyt in the first in
ming. Singing singles by Brewer and
Miller brought loud cheers from the
crowd. Brewers clout scored Harris
and Rice came over on Miller's slam
to center.
The Yanks went ahead in the Sec
ond and were never headed there
after. A walk to Meusel. singles by

of the fourth. Two successive in1eld
outs brought him over the pan. That
was the last run of the day for the
Griffs.
Tho Yanks got their final run in
the seventh of Schacht. Two were
zone when Schang doubled to right
Brewer kicked the ball over behid
the ield boxes and Umpire Chill per-
nitted Schang to score, though Brow
er's throw to Shanks beat the back
stop to the bag. Hoyt and Peck both
singled. but McNally's pop foul to
Judge stopped the darned thing.

Bucky Tarris in the sixth inning,
when he bumped into the Washing
ton second-sacker, knocking the ball
from his hand. Harris came right
