tusseis with the champions. On
Tuesday the big southpaw worked
out and found his trick elbow
screeching for help. 1t was impos.
sible, therefore, for Zach to do the
hurting yesterday. Indeed, 1t may
be that he is done for this year, add
ng his little bit to the burdensome
,oad being carried by Manager Milan
who is fairly yelling for pitchers.
It's tough going at this time of
the year when you haven't any
pitchers" said Milan today. Il
really don't believe that we have had
two men taking their turn. on the
rubber since the season opened.
Johnson and Mogridge have done
the best work, but the weakness Of
the rest of the staff has caused them
to work out of turn frequently.
They can't do this and pitch good
bail. They are not as young as they
once were.
"I have hopes that Griff will
dig US up some pitchers to use In
the West on our last trip. We
need pitchers more than anything
else on this ball club"
Though defeated in both games,
the Griffs have not looked bad IN
this series. The Yanks were ex.
tremely lucky to win that first
eame. They had a little luck to
repeat yesterday when they copped,
8 to 4. Turkey Brewer, for in
stance, poled two drives into the
right.field stand and each time he
was the lone Griffman to tally.
On the other hand, Babe Ruth
poled one up there in the opening
round and sent Witt over ahead
OF him. His one drive was good for
as many runs as both Of Brower's.
The Griffs knotted the count when
they punched four hits for two runs
off Waite Hoyt in the second ses-
sion. After Charity had famed

In succession and Ray Francis
brought Peck over with a single 20
ing Lamotte.
In the third the Griffs took the
lead when Turkey Brewer bumped
his first home run into the right
field stand. The Yanks tied II up in
the fourth when Schang, reaching
second on his slow single to Lamotte
and the latter's wide heave across
lots. went to third after Rice had
taken Meusers fly and Ward jam

was forcing Ward, Meusel Tailed.
The only other run made by the
Griffs was Turkey Brewers second

That came I'm the eighth with two
out and nobody on.
Harris led off in the fifth with

Charity led off in the sixth with
o walk and died stealing a moment
before Peck shot a merry single to
center. Lamotte doubled up Peck
and that inning was wasted.
Zeb Milan went to bat in place OF
Francis in the seventh and singled
to center, but Rice promptly doubled
him UP with a weak roller to Scott.
Babe Ruth played only three IN
nings. Francis hooked a perfect
third strike over the pan for him in
the third and he told Tommy Con-
molly a whole lot of things. The
fans. naturally. were with Ruth. and
they made Connolly's ears tingle
when the veteran arbitrator sent
Ruth to the clubhouse. Some 500
kids, all worshippers of Ruth. were
in the upper tier in right field and
they never did lay off Connolly down
to the end Of the game.
A bright feature. from a Wash
ington viewpoint, was the pitching
of Brillheart in the last two in
nings. The kid southpaw faced
seven men in those two frames,
walking Hoyt for a starter.
In the eighth he famed Wally
