.,rpennant and their own pet jinx. No
wonder they're resting. Especially
!. after trimming the New York Yam.
!: KEGS, 8 to 2, in a drizzling afternoon
~ before a fine crowd. considering the
evil climatic conditions
81 Tomorrow come the alleged com
Wing champions, Lee Fohl's st. Louis
y Browns. Then the real fight begins.
g II there Is one team in the league
= aside, possibly, from the Yankees
that the Griffs want TO stop, 1t is
y The Browns. The Mound City gang
has trimmed the Griffs regularly for
y years. even In the days when the
Browns were NUTS and the Griffs
were riding up around among the
:. league leaders, say, back in 1912 and
:. 1913. And this has never been for.
I" gotten by Clslk Griffith or any of
: his players who have been with the
club long enough to get the club
feeling.
.g The Grlffs will entertain Western
club for the coming two weeks, lead
tng off with the Browns. They are
ito be here for three days and two
games remain to be played from the
last series; that means five gaines
will be played in three days, double
headers coming tomorrow and We'd
nesday.
Following the Browns come the
Cleveland Indians. They, too, have
three games to play here, after which
come the Chicago White Sox. Kid
Glea sons gang has four games and
as there is an open date on August

: will take advantage of that by stag

p " There Is considerable feeling be-
tween the Griffs and the Tigers. They
Il" ket along fairly well in Detroit, but
At Georgia avenue they fight like a
lot of cats and dogs. When Cobb
brings his Jungaleers here again, 1t
Is quite to be expected that there
: will be a fine shindlg, with the fans
egging on the home team against
the visitors,
= The Griffs crawled up a bit on the
.iYanks yesterday when they COPIED
/. the victory, 3 to 2. That made The
/! sta nding ten wins for the Yanks aud
six for the Griffs this year. George
Mogridge pitched a fine game, hold
X ing the enemy runless until the
y. ninth, when the Yanks managed to
.isneak a couple of runs over the dish.
:, Truth to tell, that last inning put
/" all the fans on edge, so close did
. things look before Norman Mcmillan
( bumped a roller to Joe Judge.
iln 1t was a scrappy game. come to
I think Of II. Whitley Witt and his
boss, Miller Huggins. the boy man
: aRer who wears the mans pants,
were banished from the pastime by
\, Tommy Connolly in the very first
inning. It all came from an argu'
k fnent that witt had reached first on
J his roller to Mogridge In the open
ing inning. Their argument didn
.igo, that's all, and they vanished

i i'.satisfac action of the big crowd, Jimmy
