heavy-hitting affairs in which the
Nationals engage usually goes to
the other team. Yesterday. how
ever. was different. Connie Mack's
Athletics came down from the Dead
city for a one-dsy stand and, though
they pounded Ray Francis. Milan's
Coast League wronghander. for
eleven hits. they weren't able to
connect when safeties meant runs.
On the other hand, the Griffs were
in one of their rare slugging moods.
They slugged a trio of Quaker
pitchers for sixteen hits. which de-
veloped into eleven runs. The final
score was IL to 9. which would in
dicate that the pastime was more
or less one-sided.
Rollie Naylor. owner Of the ia
nous chorus girl legs. opened on
the mound for Mack toilers. Rol-
lie gave the Griffs a nice, healthy
beating on the AS last trip here.
Evidently that fact led Connie Mack
to believe that Rollie had some
thing on the Gr.ffs. So Rollie was
handed the pitching assignment.
which turned out to be a ticket to
a nice massacre, in which Rollie
played an important role as long
as he remained on the scene.

first run on three safeties. Three
