slider the many other offers he re.
ceived for training camps.
1.-THE first thing that impressed
me-" said Friel today, was the
playing field for the ball park. The
town officials have promised me to
convert a sand field into a dirt ball
park. I have heard other major
leaguers complain about sand ball
fields down In Florida, and when
the Tarpon Springs boosters told me
what they would do iii the way Of
improving the playing field 1 i'm
mediately accepted their proposition.
"A clubhouse Of sufficient size
to care for the needs Of a full
squad of ball players also will be
erected. They told me that they
would duplicate the ball park at

Zachary escaped harm through his

The real rough frame was the
sixth. Zach started that by
plunking Luke Sewell in the ribs.
Fewster promptly sacrificed. Lutzke
singled to center and so did Gov

Sewell and when Leibold allowed
the roller to go through his legs,
IIutzke Tailed and Convey reached

scored the pitcher with the third

indians Make Final Appear
ance Of Season Today at
Griffith Stadium
By LOUIS A. BOUCHER.

The Cleveland Indians are to
play their final game Of the 1924
campaign in the Capital today.
Tomorrow is an open date in the
schedule for the Griffmen and they
will make it day Of rest before
engaging with their contending
rivals, the Detroit Jungaleers.
Five games are coming between
the Griffs and Jungle Cats, but no
double-headers will be staged, I'M
less rain happens to interfere with
the schedule. Next Tuesday and
Wednesday are open dates for both
teams and they will use them. to
play off q postponed game and
tied game from their second series
here.
The Griffs have now won seven
games from the Cleveland club this
season. Four more remain to be
played, three in Cleveland next
month. The tribe has been a tough
antagonist for Bucky Harris and
his crew all season and the betting
81 that Cleveland will finish on the
long end of the seasons work. The
Gf1IIS must win all 1Our remaining
games to break even with the tribe
for the year, a tough task, indeed.
Stan Coveleskie, about at the
end Of his string in the big show,
toyed with the Griffmen yesterday
and copped, to 1. It wasn't that
the veteran spitballer was so good
as 1t was that the Griffmen are
still in the throes Of their woeful
batting slump.
Six times did the first Griffman
approaching the plate in an inning
reach first base. Once he died at
the plate. Once he scored. Once
he reached second base on a sacri-
flee. Once he was forced. Twice
he was stranded on that initial
sack, his mates being utterly help
less against Coveleskie's control.
Nittle Memo LeibOld brought
over his teams lone tally in the
third. He led off with perfect
bunt to Lutzke, continued on to
second on Rube's terrible toss
into right field and scotted to
third while Summa was walking
on the ball.
