permitted on the second visit. AS
the Yankees are now in Washing

tomorrow's twin bill is entirely
ethical and all that.
Walter johnson, who pitched a
one hit game last Friday, is likely
to be hooked up in a duel tomorrow
with either Waite Hoyt or Sad Sam
Jones. George Mogridge is favored
to tackle his former teammates in
the second clash.
1t is quite possible that the
Yanks will see the hated foe in
Boston draw away from them with

While the Griffs are not very high

four and lost three of their battles

bet that they'll take two Of the
three games in this series.
Meanwhile, the Boston Red Sox
are playing at Philadelphia. Five
games have been played between

Sisler Fails To Get
Hit Against AS
First Time

PHILADELPHIA, May 81
Probably for the first time in
his career, George Sisler, of
the Browns, played in an en-
tire series at Shibe Park with
out getting a base hit. In
three games Sisler not only
failed to make one hit, but
never even reached first base.
At bat ten times in the series,
he hit only two flies to the
outfield, twice he famed, and
once he hit into a double play.
Sisler, who was out of the
game all last year because of
eye trouble, has not been bat
ting well on the road, although
he started the season we'll. In
Saturdays game he ordered a
pinch hitter to perform for
him in the eighth, and this was
regarded as a significant move
by the sharps.
