Griffmen Play Exhibition Tomor-

For a Benefit.
BY LOUIS A. BOUCHER.

The Griffmen have gone from the
Capital. not to return until August 80.
when they tackle the New York
Yankees at Georgia avenue in one
game before hiking to the metropolis.
Their final exhibition here. on a wet,
soggy field. was a defeat by Sam Jones
and the Boston Red Sox, TO 0.
Tomorrow the Griffs viii play an
exhibition at Bloomington, ILL.,, the pro-
ceeds going to the widow of the late
Griffmen. Wednesday they will open
their final series Of the year at St.
Louis.
Sam Jones outpitched Olaf Erickson
from start to finish yesterday. Four
hits were made off his delivery to ten
Off Olaf. That only two runs were
checked up for the Red Sox Is credited
to the brilliant fielding of the Griffs
behind their wild twirler.
Four double plays were made by the
Griffs. Two were started in fine style
by Bob LaMotte, the new shortstop.
Milan caught a fly in center field and
doubled up Muddy Ruel at third just
as easy as you please. Hank Shanks
started the other one.
Sam Jones singled to open the third,
advanced on Leibold's sacrifice, scoot-
ed to third on Fosters long fly to
Milan and Tailed when Mike Menosky
singled to right center.
With one down in the sixth Me-
nosky dragged a safe bunt to Judge.
Pratt's single to right sent him to
third and he Tailed on McInnis' infield
hit. At no other time did the Sox
have a chance to score owing to the
rapid-fire double plays engineered
by the Griffs.

paw added this pitching department
would be invincible.
In recalling the remarkable pen
nant drive OF 1914. when the Braves
shot like meteors from the bottom to
the very top. and the squirt which
started late in August, II should be
recognized that the National League
at that time was not the strong com.
bination of powerful ball clubs that
IL Is today.
Then the New York Giants were the
only club capable of disputing the
Braves supremacy. The others had
faded early in the campaign. while the
Giants curled up once the Boston out
fit assumed the lead.
Favorable Mention for Cards.
But conditions in this seasons
struggle are vastly different. Pitts

Louis are potential pennant clubs.

one admits that little more pitching
Is the only thing needed to make the
Cardinals one of the most dangerous
factors in the race.
And think of clubs as powerful rs
the Reds and Dodgers lowering near
the bottom Of the ladder.
The Braves may not win this flag.
In fact, the schedule operates against
their chances, as they must finish the
season in the West. Besides this, on
account of cancellations, three post.
poned games with the Giants will
have to be played at the Polo
Grounds, as the New York team has
completed its run at Boston this
year and everyone realizes how
tough conditions are during a pen

crowds and often time home

visiting club.

Over In New York last spring one
writer referred to Mitchelis outfit ~ q
lunch Of junk Another self-suffi-
Client critic said that Boston had q fran
chise and nothing more.
But both very evidently lost sight Of
the fact that the Hub aggregation had
been materially strengthened by a
trade that added tremendously to its
defensive and offensive power.
Three For One I'm Trade.
Few figured that the deal which sent
Rabbit Meanwhile to Pittsburgh and
brought Southworth. Barbara and
Nicholson to the Hub was one which
converted Boston into a real pennant
contender and gave Fred Mitchell a
team that is really stronger than the
world championship club,of 1914.
Yet such is the fact, and even II the
Pirates and Giants both beat the
Braves in the race to the wire, this
years Boston club will still believe
themselves superior to the one with
which George Stallings attained such
phenomenal success seven seasons ago.
The Braves of 1914 had alright
pitching, a strong defensive infield,
fair strength on the offensive and a
winning spirit that covered q multi
tude OF sins.
The outfit that Fred Mitchell directs
10 strong In all departments, and II II
had just three twirlers who could work
alternately as Rudolph. James and
Tyler did seven years ago, would be
well out In front.
Comparisons are odious. and there
Is little use in comparing each man
of the 1914 aggregation with the player
in the same position on this years
team. Suffice is to say that Stallings'
pennant winner had nothing that re.
motely resembled an outfield, and
were it not for the fact that Rudolph.
Tyler and James were master work
men on the mound the Braves OF seven
years ago would never have figured in
the pennant-
Star Outfield This Year.
Contrast this condition with the
grand outfield the Braves have this
season in Southworth. Cruise and
Powell. Hitters. fielders and base
runners every one of them. and 1t
is easy to understand the strength
of the Boston club here.
Evers, Meanwhile. DIAL and
Schmidt, of Stallings' club, were
fine infield combination with the
two first named stars, but don't for
get that the Braves quartet Of this
year is very nearly on a par. In

account Of his experience would be

just about a stand-off between
