This means that the rivals of today
practically are equal in strength, on
paper at least, although the Griffs
have made a slightly better showing
than their opponents of this after
noon, with six more victories and
two less defeats credited to them.
That this will be a battle for blood
is a foregone conclusion, as both out
fits will be striving to uphold the
honor of their loops, but the outcome,
no matter what it may be, should
not be taken too seriously, as both
are in the midst of a hot pennant
fight and will avoid wasting box am
munition needed for the big stake.
Pumpelly to Face Pirates.
It was announced by Pilot Harris
before he boarded a rattle- last night
that he planned to use Spencer Pun
pelly, the former Yale University star,
who recently signed Washington
contract, and also to call on Vean
Gregg, his veteran reservist, if neces-
sary.
It is not known what talent Man
ager McKechnie of the Buccaneers
proposes to employ, but it is safe
bet that it won't be Meadows, Nor
rison, Yde or any or his first-rank
fingers. They will be saved for set
lOS WneGe tn6 results HSur6 IN the
won and lost columns.
Jezebel Tecumseh Zachary should
be accorded proper recognition for
the artistic hurling job he flashed yes
terdaY in turning back the Yankees,
but large share of the credit should
go to Old Sol, for 1t was due to the
fact that Sam Jones wilted in the eX-
cessive heat that the Harrismen sewed
up the game at the halfway mark.
Jones pitched superbly for the first
four frames, but that was as far as
he could go without artificial refriger-
alton and was compelled to seek solaCe
in the cooling showers of the locker
room. Something always is bobbing
up to make Sam sad.
Griffs Early on the Job.
The champs wasted no time horn
ing into the run column. McNeely.
the first Griff to face Jones, raped
a hot one past Ward. swiped second
after Stan Harris death, and rode
to the pan on Rice'S looping single
to right. Sam then was doubled up
with Goslin.
Jones then baffied the Nationals for
three frames, but in the fifth lost his
cunning and was bombed off the hill,
half a dozen tallies accruing before
young Henry Johnson could get his
conIrOl teNerS ADJUSTED Sunclentiy 10
retire the side.
Peck opened the canto with a safety
to center. Ruel walked and Zachary
sacrificed McNeely scratched a
bingle to Dugan that scored Peck. and
when Jones failed TO intercept Stan
Harris sacrificially jolted bunt the
bases were loaded. Rice then rain
bowed a double to right that cashed
Ruel and McNeely and sent Jones to
the clubhouse.
Hen Johnson came in here and
staged revival of that famous skit
The Wild Man From Borneo." He
failed completely to locate the plate
for Goslin and Joe Harris. forcing
Boss Bucky in with a counter, and
his first delivery to Bluege was a wild
pitch that permitted Rice to tally.
He then completed the job of frank
ing Bluege. to again crowd the cor
ners, and Peck, up for a second time
in the round. scored Goose with a
long fly to Paschal. Ruel took a
third strike to end the fun.
Get to Jezebel in Sixth.
Zachary yielded but four bingles.
strung out through the first FIVE
frames, only one of the aliens attain
ing to the middle cushion, but with
two gone in the sixth and possessed
or healthy Iead, JeZeDel was 1ounu
for four straight swats and brace
of runs. Meusel Merkle and Ward
connected for singles that netted the
first marker and BenGouglRs looper to
right bounced into the field boxes for
a double that accounted for the other
tally.
It seemed for time in the eighth
that Zach might go the way of Jones,
as a. pair of bingles and his only free
ticket of the afternoon loaded the
cushions with Yanks, but he got out
of the hole in fine fashion and fin
ished strong, limiting Ruth to a soft
roller after Paschal had tripled with
two gone in the ninth.
