Team. Use seven Pitchers.
A bunch of loyal fans suffered
through hours and IS minutes of
edious play, in which the seasons
orriest exhibition of slabbing was
Incorked. Speaker was in much the
anne boat as Mcbride, but he was
lnally able to call on Stanley Cove
eskie and the spitball pitcher did
ne frst hurting that was worthy of
he name.
Seven moundsmen were put into
commission during the afternoon,
our of them wearing a Washington
inform.
Swede Erickson. who started looked
rood in the first five frames. He
robbled a bit in the sixth and
Yielded two runs. In the seventh

Johnson to handle. The selection

poor one, as he was nicked for
.wo singles. a double and a triple.

relieve him.

Ierves a wealth of praise. Giving

Caldwell Gets His.
Speaker started Ray Caldwell. but
ne hadn't enough rest since he beat
Sew York three days before. and
vas knocked off the rubber in the
Irst. when the Griffs got away to
four-run start. Mails was the sec
md choice for the visitors and didn't
10 so badly, though Rice spanked a
home run to center field in the fifth
md another tally was registered in
he sixth.
Doc johnson batted for "Duster"
n the seventh and had the honor of
coming to the plate twice before the

pitching and held the Griffs safe.
With the exception Of the pitch
srs the Griffs didn't play bad ball.
They gathered IL hits. five Of
(which came from the bat of Sam
Rice. who had his biggest day of
:he year. The speed boy gathered
4 double and a home run in addi-
tion to three singles. But the
iozen local hits didn't compare
'avorably to the II compiled by the
champions. Nine Of the hostile
blows were spilled in the final
three rounds, seven coming in the
big seventh.
Judge Out with Injury.
Joe Judge was still suffering from
the injury to his ankle received in
collision with Burns at first on
Funday. which gave Earl Smith Il

Eric blew in the seventh. Pinch
Hitter Doc Johnston singled as a
starter, and wamby's triple and
Speakers single counted two. Olaf
departed from there. and Johnson
tried to stop the hitting. His at
tempt was feeble. Four successive
hits, including a triple by Gardner
and a double by Burns, brought in
three more runs. Then Barney
walked Thomas, which convinced
Mac that he wasn't going TO do a.
well as might be expected. Acosta
was sent in and struck out John
