FINAL WITH
INDIANS
Zahniser and Smith Expected
to Battle Before Bushmen
Leave Town.
By FRANCIS J. POWERS.

CLEVELAND. Aug. 24.-The
fighting Griffs make their last
appearance of the season on Dunn
Field today, going after the In
dams In the hopes of winning
and thus taking the odd one Of
the three victories. The Tribe,
dropping the first clash, came
back yesterday and won. 2 to 1,
in ten innings, thus earning an
even break.
sherry Smith, the veteran
southpaw, is Iris Speakers selec.
ton to face the Griffs today.
Paul Zahniser, who has been
pitching cleverly for the Washing
tonians, is expected to be sent
to the rubber. with Allan Russell
In reserve.
George Uhle and George Mo-
gridge fought a brilliant pitching
duel@ yesterday, the home hurler
winning. Uhle held the Griffs to
four hits, two Of which were
punched in the sixth. giving the
Griffs their lone run. Mogridge
was brilliant for eight frames.
Then the strain became too great
and the Tribe got run in the
ninth, tying the score, and an
other in the tenth.
Evans opened the sixth with a
single to center, advancing on
Mogridge' sacrifice. He went to
third when Leibold singled. mis-
sing a chance to score by failing
to touch the bag. He had to go
back and by that time the trick
was lost. However, Peck squeezed
him. over with a neat bunt be-
tween Uhle and Stephenson and
the Griffs looked like winners.
In the ninth Lutzke's double,
Wamby's sacrifice and O'Neill's
single brought over the. tying
tally and in the tenth the Indians
won. Jameson, opened with a
slam to the right field wall, reach
ing second on Connolly's sacrifice.
Mogridge purposely passed Speak
err to get at Joe Sewell and it was
little Joe who spilled the beans.
He walloped a" clean single TO
right and Jameson came over
with all sails standing:
The Griffs added two more
double plays to their long list and
now have engineered 134 two-play

By FREDERICK G. LTEB

NEW YORK, Aug. 24.-The pres
ent slump of the Giants shows why
Miller Higgins has been keeping
his club going at top speed. despite
It's present big lead. There has
been some criticism Of Miller for
not giving Pipgrass a chance or
giving Mays more work. But the
little fellow isn't missing a trick in
bringing home victories. There
may be an uninteresring race. but
that is no concern Of his. He is
out to win every game he can, and
the quicker he can clinch his third
pennant the better he will like It,.
One of the biggest leads that ever
was pulled down was the Giant lead
Of 1912. The Giants were practically
unbeatable in the first half OF the
season. It was the year that Ma
guard started in by winning nine
teen straight games, all won before
July 4. If memory serves US cor
rectly. the Giants led by sixteen and
a half games on the morning of
July 4. They dropped two games to
the Dodgers on independence Day,
the Cubs winning twice.
From then on the New York lead
began to gradually fall away. Mar
guard was Of little use in the second
half Of the season, and the sixteen
and q half game lead was reduced
to three and half games in Sep.
tember
But after the Cubs all but closed
the big gap between themselves and
New York, the strain of their chase
told upon them. They collapsed in
the middle of September and the
Giants won by a good margin. even
the Pirates beating out Chicago for
second place.
But the Cubs had the Giants
scared for quite time, and 1t took
great pitching by Matty and Tes
reau to keep the Giants in front

The writer has known q few
baseball players in his time, and
most Of them, when you get them
in a game Of pinochle, will stop
to admit they are great pitchers
or catchers, but could have won
a lot of jack as prize fighters.
Now, most any of them can
hit when they begin to put up
their Spalding dukes is the in-
field dirt. But you can't win in
chin music marathon with some
of these young bimbos; who think
the Marquis Of Queensbury is a
dessert at the five-and-ten, come
and-take-it pie counter.
Every so often you hear how
Carl Mays or some other husky
Of the diamond is going to quit
baseball and start to challenging
Firpo or Dempsey. Well, friends,
what with somebody taking socks
at Casey Stengel, you would
think the boys should have been
sparring partners instead of
grounder kissers, but I guess that
is the way of all life. You want
to be what you amt until the
time comes when you amt what
you was.
Not to be personal with a good
friend Of the writer, but take
for instance that fellow, Nick
Altrock. He is known to his wife
as a great comedian. But he
always wanted to be in Shake
speare's tragedies. But the only
tragedy he ever was in was when
his team stayed in the second
division.

Weeks High Lights.

TINE last week has brought out
some good events in the lives
of several of the boys. OF
course the top stride struck by the
Zig Babe, when he got his Thrift
eth home run and gained the lead
also over my friend Harry He'll
man, was an outstanding thing.
Then. again, Dutch Ruether, of
the Brooklyns, got back in form
and took the Cardinals, z to /.
Ruether's return to form gives
Manager Robby five dependable
pitchers. They are, namely:
Dazzy Vance, Grimes, Leo Dicker-
man, Ruether and, finally, the
pitcher that rests on Robby's
hotel dresser. But the last named
is not dependable on account of
the beer shortage.
Another bird to get at last
where he could take the runaway
Yanks is Urban Shocker, of the
Browns. After dropping four to
them during the latter part of
the year he came back and beat
the Hugmen at Sportsrnan's Park
the same day the Babe knocked
out his thirtieth four-sided rap.
Still another outstanding spot
OF the week, not counting the boil
on Same Rice's neck, was the VIC
tory Of Adolpho Luque, the
Cubanola magnifico, who made
the Giants bow. Luque in that
game also stepped into the pill for
a homer. The Reds won both games
OF the day, and only McGraw him
self failed to go to the box as a
pitcher in those contests.
