The Griffs won their thirteenth
victory over the Chicago White

the timely slam to left, scoring
Joe Judge who had doubled ahead

Adams. a patient bench warmer

ankle began growing and the Utan
boy proceeded to show bright stuff.
In the ninth he went over TO the

from Ike Davis and threw him out

Falk look foolish by grabbing his
attempt at a bingle and mailing
him with room to spare. Adams
will have to be considered by the

ST. JOHN, New Brunswick, April IL
NDeclaring that the present Hun
garian government planned to return
the HapsburgS to a restored Austro-
Hungarian empire in alliance with an
Imperial Germany bent on world con-
quest, Count Michael karolyi, former
President of Hungary, sailing yester-
day for England on the steamer
Montclair, warned the United States
20 refrain from lending money TO
Hungary which, he said, would be
used in furtherance of such a move
ment.
Breaking the silence on political
subjects he had agreed to keep dur
ing his stay in the United States, the
count predicted another world war
he said the Horthy regime was taking
IN Hungary. He denied charges that
lie was a Communistic spy and a
Bolshevist, and said that his name
had been forged TO the paper calling
upon the proletariat to rise in favor
OF his government.
Countess Catherine karolyi said
that the promise to keep silent on
political matters which had been eX-
acted from the count was the result
OF social lobbying" at Washington
on the part of agents of the Horthy
government. Count Karolyi went to
the United States to be near his wife
while she was suffering from typhoid
fever contracted there.
