Joe Cofley, matchmaker for the

This demand, Coffey advised, makes
the match impossible on the date

Gibbons received $50, 900, which is
five times as much as he ever got
for a previous bout, for outpointing
Georges Carpenter in their ten

eighteen games from the Yankees.
1t is not much Of margin, to be

mean three victories in the four
games the Griffs are to play in
New York. The Brownies have
scientifically the same record against
the Jungle Cats, ten victories in
eighteen games. Therefore, with

An Extended Slump.

.OLUMPS In baseball are well
~ known. They are part Of the
game, in fact. But seldom
has a ball club slumped as long
as did the Griffs and yet maintain
their positions as contenders 10
the pennant race.
Beginning in Cleveland, for in
stance. the Griffs dropped three
Of their four games at Dunn Field.
They promised poorly on a trip
admittedly important. Neverthe-
less, they turned about and swat
ted the Jungaleers three in q row
in Detroit. What they lost liz
Cleveland while the Yaiiks were
slamming the White Sox they
gained back while the Browns
were walloping the Yankees.
That series in st. Louis, truly
awful to watch, might have
slaughtered all pennant hopes ex-
cept that the Jungaleers were
having their troubles at the same
time with the Yankees.
The upshot Of the entire swing
through the West was the in
ability Of any one of the original
three contenders to better them
selves and the addition Of the st.
Louis Browns to the trio, making
four teams battling for the ban
ner.
The Washington times., 1924-08-21

New York fans may recall the
second visit of the Washington
club to the metropolis, though
they may not, being more or less
accustomed to pennants and high
rankings. But Washington fans
do not forget that the Griffs rode
into first place at the expense
OF the Yankees, winning four
games between June % and
June Is.
The Griffs maintained and i'm
proved their position against the
Mackmen and the Red Sox
through series OF double headers
at the Griffith Stadium, but the
strain was telling on them and
those same Yankees, revivified by
several victories over the Mack
men, knocked Harris and his gang
off their proud pedestal early in
July.
Those double headers continued
as the Western clubs chased them
selves into and out Of the Capital
until the Washington pitchers
were pretty nearly run ragged.
Is it any wonder that the fingers
grew tired? Is it strange that
some Of the boys, battling day in
and day out under heavy strain,
slumped in their hitting?
The Washington times., 1924-08-21

The Griffs have now won sixty
tx games and lost fifty.two, for
en average Of .559. Here is what
they have done to every opponent
