after the Griffs scalps. He twirled
three runless frames and then

the clash for ten minutes.
Byron Specie toiled for the new
champions and was hit hard. His
support was filled with air holes,
too, and all semblance OF a con-
test faded away after the Red Sox
scored their four runs In the
fourth inning.
Uncle Nick Altr0cl had been ad-
vertised to pitch and the fans be-

When AItrock came to bat N the
