Griffmen hung up a victory, 3.to.6,
after bombarding Oscar Fuhr, a
tall southpaw with Mobile a year

Ehmke's curve ball was as wide
as ever, and usually cutting at

Harris. FTo was firing, however,
and in the fifth the home boys,
nettled ut their poor work recently
In Philadelphia, slapped him for q
couple Of bingles which, with q
base on balls, counted two runs.
This was repeated in the sixth for
two more, and Ehmke did not come
back for any more.
Jezebel Tecumseh Zachary, a
consistent bullpen performer ever
since April Is, made his first
start Of the season. He lasted
until there were two on and ono
down in the seventh when Byron
Specie, now filling Rubber Arm
RusSell's role as relief finger,
appeared on the hill.
Zachary was not bad, neither was
he good. He seemed to have quite
q lot Of speed for him, and his
curve ball was wide and bit
battling. But the veterans control
was not so good, and he was con.
stantly digging holes for himself.
A couple Of blows, with a passed
ball and Ruels sorry toss into
center field, accounted for the first
run off Zach, but the second was
earned and the big southpaw was
on his way to take a pounding when
Bucky Harris took pity on him and
sent him to the bench.
Specie, after wild gallop around
the bases in the eighth, lost some
Of his stuff in the ninth and was
raped for a couple Of tallies. He
will soon be ready to start game
