Judge.

THAT may be all right" replied
y the Griffs leader, but you can't
tell me you never saw any baked
beans or brown bread during those
winters you spent up in Vermont or
New Hampshire or wherever it was
you did spend those winters fish
ing through the Ice and writing
back to Griff how hard you were
working"
S--"Wen. that may be true" re-
piled Joe. II guess we did have
baked beans and brown bread
once a week or so and sometimes
on hunting trips, but I've over
. .come that. l now winter in Wash.
!. =ington and l haven't had baked
bean or a crumb Of brown bread
In more than n year."
What are you grinning att" Zeb
shot at Pat Charity.
Nothing, nothing" came from
the husky catcher.
We'll, that goes Tor you, too. You
cant afford to lose any OF the speed
-.,you have"
" Can 1 have some?" asked Ray
Francis. You see, out in California
Il heard for years about Boston
baked beans. My ancestors were all
.. ..gold-seekers and they lived on baked
beans for years. There's a strain
m me that makes eating baked
beans and brown bread a positive
craze. They don't hurt me at all.
II you'll let me have all the beans
want here, III pitch two games
Tor you in this series. That's fair
enough, isn't it,"
- IN admit it sounds all right" re.
piled Zeb, after a moments deem
cogitation. But IL you don't win the
first game you pitch it's off the beans
. and brown bread. Get that?"
That suits me-" from Francis.
If there's one thing like it's
Boston baked beans and brown
bread. Give me that DISH for every
game. not even with ten errors be-
. hind me-"
-, That's that. So far as may be
i. CLEANED. Ray Francis is the only
member Of the Washington team
permitted to gobble up the baked
beans and the brown bread while So
.journing here for three days.
The Griffs will need all the speed
and endurance possible. for they
must play six games in three days.

boys to bed early. They'll all be

In a squall down near Highland
Light, which is some eighteen miles
out toward Great Britain. Duffy is
said to fear these six games even
more than Zeb Milan does. That's
good.
= Milan will have to call on his re-
serves to get through the series and
still have anybody ready TO open the
. ball game dowr at Shibe Park on
Thursday. 1t hasn't been any too
easy sailing in Philadelphia for The
. Griffs this spring, and Milan wants

that opening contest.
Before hopping in and out OF
Washington next Sunday, the
Griffmen must play nine ball
games, which is a-pIenty for any
team. Six here and then three at

j.. Z. Mike Menosky, who once patroled

the same now for the Red Sox.

know all about it.
= Some of the bitterness expressed
Seward the Red Sox during the past
=winter has disappeared. The un.
expectedly good work Of the team
In refusing to take the backwash
from all opponents has had the ef-
feet upon the fans. They are will

least few good men.
The attendance figures at Fen
way Park continue small, though.
