ne-way ticket and ascended right
through the roof Of the contest
in the fourth inning at American
League Park yesterday. Before the
ascension was completed the Ma
tionaIs had collected six runs on
three hits. a couple Of passes, and
a pair of errors and salted away
the game. which they eventually
won by a s-to-4 score.
Up until that hectic fourth, the
Grffs had been able to do little or
nothing with RoIIie's shoots. They
had managed to get a pair Of safe
ties OF him, but the way Rollie
was moving a runner or two on
young life.
On the other hand. the Macks were
taking kindly to Joe Gleason's al
legged elusive shoots. The represen-
tatives Of the Sleeping City had gar
nered a run in the first inning and
another In the third, and with Nay
lor APPARENTLY in great shape and
Gleason having trouble with benders
which refused to bend and erratic
streaks here and there, two runs
appeared to be just about though
TO win the ball game.
RoIlie Doesn't Last.
But RolIie. though he managed to
, put up a great front for few in
nings. had nothing in reserve. He
proved to be little more than a nurs-
cry puzzle. as once the Griffs got
to him he twas easy.
Gleason, like Naylor. was all
front and no reserve. and so when
the Macks started pounding his slant
in the sixth. Milan frantically waved
him out of the spotlight and sent
Jezebel Tecumseh in to try and save
the beginning of a new winning
streak.
Zach took up his duties with two
on and none out in the sixth. and
aided by a snappy double play routed
from Bush to Harris to Judge to
erase a pair OF runners and some
more or less up-to-date fielding on
his own part, kept the troublesome
AS from crossing the plate.
After that Connie Mack's hire
lings were Gasp for the Carolinian,
though another double killing
helped him in the seventh. Dykes
got the only hit of the portsider
in the eighth, but was stranded
when Galloway drove to Brewer.
Gnd in the ninth Galloway, pinch
hitting for Eckert. who had re-
lieved Naylor in the sixth. Young
and Old Doc Johnston went out in
order. the latter via the strike-out
route

The AS began taking liberties
with Gleason's offerings in the first
frame. Harris threw out Young.
n but Johnston crashed one in the
groove into deep center for a triple.
walker followed with a fly to Rice
in short center. and Johnston scored
with considerable ease and more or
less dispatch. Rice's notoriously
weak throwing arm making his
journey to theaplate little less than
a romp.
Gleason's wiIdness got him In
trouble in the third. but a fast dou-
BILE killing kept the Macks' total
for the frame to one run.
Pep Young drew a pass and went
to second, when walker was also
favored with a free ticket after
Johnston had popped to Bucky Har-
ris. Perkins scored Young with a
Erounder to Earl Smith in left,
Walker stopping at second. Nc
Gowan then drove an easy fly to
Smith. which Earl dropped after
having the ball in his hands.
With the paths loaded Welch
drove a hot one at Peck and was
doubled with MCGOWAN, Peck to
Harris to Judge.
Connie Mack signed MAYORS abb
dication papers after the Griffs.
aided by couple of walks and as
many errors, got to Rollie for a
half dozen tallies in their fourth.
Brewer drew a base on balls and
went to second when Jimmy Dykes
allowed PeckinpauEh's hot one to
bounce eff his shins, Peck being
safe at first. This set the stage
for Charity. and Patsy met this
3 party called opportunity more than
half way by catching one of Nay
lor's shoots on the end of his bat

Peck with the tieing runs and max

was relayed to the infeld.

welch took care Of Bush's fly to
right. and Gleason proved easy for
the faltering Naylor, striking OUT
after having Rollie in a three-and-
nothing hole.
Earl Smiths lone safety of the
matinee counted Charity with the
run that put the Griffs in front
for the first time. Smith then stole
second, while Harris was worrying
Naylor, and took advantage of Nay
lor's long wind-up to steal third.
Harris eventually walked and
went to third, Smith scoring, when
Pep Young. after trapping Rice's
easy bounder. threw wild to first.
Rice went to second on the wild
throw and followed Harris over the
plate when Judge singled to CEN
ter. Brewer, up for the second
time during the inning. left Judge
stranded when he rolled to Doc
n Johnston for the final out. Six
j runs.
Eckert took up the pitching bur-
den for the AS in the Griffs' fourth.
and. though he was touched for
four hits, some snappy fielding kept
bim from being scored upon.
Gleason's troubles continued In the
As fifth when three hits and Rice's
error gave the Macks a pair of
runs. Rice took Young's fly and
followed with a great play by trap

eloved hand just behind second. John
