dugout at American League Park.
1t was a below of near rage from
one Harry Courtney. known as
Handsome Harry when he was a
member of the Nationals. when in
formed by Kid Gleason that he
Harry had worked enough for the
afternoon and that Shovel" Hodge
would Start the third inning against
the Griffmen.
Harry didn't approve of Gleason $
move. and being a southpaw and.
| like all other portsiders. as temper
amental as an opera star, he lost
little time in telling Gleason and
the paying customers within ear
shot just what was what. But
l Gleason was obdurate and Hodge
started the third .laboring under a
four-run handicap. which the Grifs
had collected of Courtney. Hodge
proved little better than the port
slider. the Griffs scoring three runs
OF him and nicking him for eight
hits. The inaI score was to 1.
All of which leads to the conclu-
sion that Courtney's no doubt laud-
able ambition TO give his former
playmates a rough afternoon re-
ceived a rude shock. As advertised
Courtney started the fray for the
Sox. The Griffs scored one run on
him in the first OF one hit and
came back in the second to score
four runs. on as many hits, a walk
ap error and a sacrifice.
Not as wild as Usual.
Courtney was not as wild as
usual, but il would have been quite
as well for him IL he had been. as.
in an effort to get them over, he
was forced to throw 'em down the
alley, and the Griffs had little trou-
Bile in driving them into safe ter
| ritory.
Jezebel Tecumseh Zachary op-
posed Courtney and Hodge on the
hill and delivered his best EFFORT oil
the season. and one of the best any
Washington pitcher has turned In
in the Fast month. The Carolina
mountaineer held the present occu-

Sox scored their lone run on a pass,

Brilliant support in which Earl

the main lights had much to do with
Zachary's good effort Smith had

Courtney grinned when the Sox

half of the first. Zach couldn't find
the plate for Hooper and issued one
of his two passes to him to start

| Hooper scored when Eddie Collins
. shot a long single into center.
But the Sox' lead and Harry's
smile of satisfaction were equally
short-lived The Griffs' ambition to
| trim Courtney was quite as strong
as Harry's to trim them. and as 1t
| developed Harry was the one to be
disappointed.
Earl Smith got on on a pass in
the Griffs' first. but was forced at
second by Harris. Bucky went TO
second as Collins and Sheely erased

right. the ball bounding into the field
boxes. in the Sox' second. He was
left when Mcclellan lined to Harris
land Bucky tossed out Courtney.
The Grifs' second ended Court
ney's hopes Of being cast in the
hero role. Four hits rippled of their
bludgeons, and Harry might have had
a premonition then that he was due
for an early shower.
Harry's bad inning started when
Goebel was safe on Ernie Johnson's
error. He went to second when
kShanks walked. and both scored on
Gharrity's double to center. Peck
sent Charity to third with a single
to left. and Pat scored on Zachary's
sacrifice fly to Hooper. Peck going

Smith sent Peck to third with a
single into center. Harris lifted to
Mostil in short left. Rice then sim

That finished Courtney. Hodge

the Griffs' third. He romped
through that frame easily enough,
but found trouble in the fourth.
After Charity had lined to Mostil,
Peck walked and went to second
as Zachary singled through Nc
Clellan into left. Smith forced
Zach at second. Peck going TO
third. He scored when Harris
lined a single into left, Smith
stopping at second. Both were
left when Hodge threw out Rice.
Three hits and an error gave the
Griffs their final tallies in the
