Leon Galore, former Brooklyn
hurler, made his debut as an Amer
lean Lacquer against the Griffs yes
terday. 1t was hardly q success; the
big fellow failed to weather the
third inning. Galore has been both
cred by q weak arm and Kid Glea-
son knew 1t when he took him on
waivers from the Superbas. 1t is
possible that Galore will retire from
baseball as he announced some time
ago that he would not hang around
If unable to do his best in the
majors.
Staging three more double plays
against the White Sox yesterday,
the Griffmen now have 119 double
killings to their credit for the sea-
son. They are fast approaching

ZACH SELECTED
To OPPOSE
CHICAGO
Victory for Griffmen Today
Will Place Them in
Fifth Position.
By HARRY NELLY.

CHICAGO, Aug. 17.-Jezebel
Tecumseh Zachary, the veteran
southpaw, and 0orham Leverette,
the detective-hur1er. are booked to
oppose each other here today in the
final game Of the White Sox-Griff
series. Tonight the Washingtonians
leave for st. Louis, where tomor'
row they open a four-day visit as
opponents of the battling Brownies.
By winning yesterday, 9 to 2. the
Griffs have now won two Of their
three tussles from the Sox, and are
riding half a game behind Gleason s
gang. Victory today means that
the Griffmen will step ahead Of the
Sox and lead the second division.
Allan Russell, whose usual duties
are to work in the "bullpen and rush
in as relief hurler, started ana
finished for the. Griffs. He was hit
hard, but proved tough egg when
ever hits might have meant tallies.
In addition, he was given excellent
support in the tight places.
The Griffs turned in three double
plays. two of which choked Off
promising rallies by the home boys.
In the fourth, with the bases
damned, a double play prevented
scoring, and in the seventh, after
three clean hits had filled the cor
ners with nobody out, a double play
held the Sox to q lone tally.
Harry Hooper, with four hits In
five times up, enjoyed his afternoon,
while Sam Rice poled a double and
two singles in five trips to the

1t seems that every game played
in Section A shows Petworth to
better advantage and the young
club has won the respect of every
team in the series.
The Garfields, with barely enough
players to make up a team. are
struggling valiantly. Pete Haley

have been rushing forward after the

Incidentally, the Mariners are
making q cOmmendable record i'm

have concerning the series is that

In its communication to Secretary

that the merchandise prizes were

dealing in goods relating to the play
ing OF the game and also from pro-
fessionals connected with local clubs.
AS pointed out in this column yes
terday. the rule, which is vague TO
say the least, was in all probability
directed at those nationally known
amateurs. who, in their overzealous-
ness, might indiscreetly permit the
use Of their name or likeness with
certain golf merchandise in such q
manner as to make it appear that
they were not doing so for their
health.

up question which was perplexing

trants in The Times tournament.
Any entrant in The Times tourney
may rest assured that his amateur
status will not be affected should
he win and be awarded one Of the
many merchandise prizes.
The committee In charge of the
event has decided to extend the
time for the receipt of entries
until Sunday evening, 6 o'clock.
This action was taken only after
it had been pointed out that q

Ignorant on Inside Ball

This one sounds like an old

tells 1t for the truth: .
One of those volunteer scouts
approached Friel and began to .
tell him about wonderful
player he had seen in some
country town near St. Louis, adj
) vising Bill to sign him for the
Browns without delay. .
} Friel listened to all the good
points of the phenom, and then
asked:
"Does he know anything about
inside baseball?"
The booster. being candid and .
honest, replied: "No, I don't
guess he does; they haven't got
an inclosed park out there
) where he plays, but you can
teach him the difference" .
