OHOR1' STUFF CO
- FOR ROOTERD

The world champion Griffmen will
leave tonight for Boston on the
Federal express and, as the Yankees
are playing tomorrow at FenWay
Park, the whole gang will celebrate
a day off by looking at q ball game,
which is a way baseball players
have.
The Griffs hope to climb at The
expense Of the Red Sox, while the
AS are battling the Yankees in New
York for the. last three days OF the
week.

taking many low and wide losses
from his infielders.
Earl McNeely offered quite the
prettiest fielding bit when he came
in fast for Hale dropping fly in
the sixth. That play was pip.
A smart shower IN the second
inning while the AS were at bat
halted the game for forty-two min
utes, and 1t rained lightly until the
last two frames. However, both
teams were anxious to play, and so
the game went on to it's bitter END,
that is, from q Philadelphia stand
point.
The Pirates went to the front in
the National League for the first
time this season by beating the
Reds, 8 to /, while the Giants ard
Braves were being washed out at
the Polo grounds. Morrison curve
balled the Reds to death.
For the eleventh time this season
the Yanks failed to carry a two
game winning streak on to another
victory, the Red Sox maltreating
Ferguson and Shawkey and cake
walking in, 10 to 5.
The Tigers brought their per-
centage up to the 500 mark by
taking a double fail out of the In
dams, 4 to ! and to 4. Dauss
pitched laudable ball in the first
game and Karr got shellacking in
the second. -.

Philliest while the Dodgers smote a
succession of pitchers for fifteen hits
and won, 8 to 3.

Johnny Mokan doesn't break into
all of the games with the Phils,
but once in a while he gets in
there and makes his presence felt.
His individual hitting efforts helped
his team with the Cubs in one of
the games in the Windy City
series. He was up four times and
got four blows, home run and
three triples; his bingles covered
all of the Pills five runs.

As far as public opinion was

GRIFF MEN

Walter Johnson viii Try TO
Swing champins Into
First Place
BY LOUIS A. BOUCHER,
Sports Editor, The Times.

Half q game behind the leading
Maekmen. the world champion
Griffs close their first long home
stay Of the season today. Tonight
they depart for Boston. Tomorrow
they idle but on Thursday have q
double header with the Red Sox.
Friday comes single game, but
on Saturday, July 4, morning and
afternoon contests will be in order,
followed by a quick hop back to
the Capital for one game with
the Yankees next Sunday. Imme-
diately after the game the world
champions will not be home again
until July %.
Slim Harriss, bright particular
pest for the Griffmen for years and
especially this season, Is likely to
climb the hill today. Connie Mack
makes no secret of his dissatisfac-
ton with the way this series is 90.
Ing. He thought sure his As would
tal.e three out OF five games, and
now they will have to hustle to win
two. Therefore he had HarrisS warm
up yesterday and may send him in
against the Griffs.
For the champions Walter john
son is expected to do the honors.
He won his game in Philadelphia
last Friday, and IL he can repeat
that performance here today, the
Gr.ffnen will leave home in first
place, leading the AS by half a
game. This is not much, but 1t Is
something. You can't laugh that

IN one corner was the swarthy
Sharkey with his square shoulders,
his thick neck, his boyish grin and
his chest resembling a young
pouter pigeons. Facing him was
the lanky Lynch, son of a West
Side furniture man.
Lynch was taller, thinner, and
more serious than his opponent.
He was also the favorite, as he
! was considered the much better
boxer.
/ The fight had gone "a round or
two. We don't recall just now
which round it was, but suddenly
Lynch went to the floor from q
left-hander on the chin and at the
count of nine barely got to his
feet. He reeled about the ring,
, dead to the world.
Sharkey let fly everything he
had. Another left dropped Lynch
a few seconds later, and a number
of those at the ringside, after TAX
ing one more peek at the bleeding
and helpless boxer, put on their
coats and headed for the gate.
Lynch got up. It seemed impos-
sible to do, but he did it.
Once more he reeled along the
ropes while the vicious Sharkey
pasted him with everything he had.
Lynch, bloody and groggy, took it
all until the bell came to his
rescue.
It was a heart-breaker Of a
round.
Lynch took terrific lacing for
four or five rounds after that and
then began to get his strength
back. Along about the tenth round
he was himself again. 1t was a
most remarkable exhibition of
gameness. In the eleventh round
he had Sharkey on the ropes.
The house went wild again.
From then on until the finish
Lynch gave his opponent a terrific
whaling. At the bell in the fiji
teenth it was Sharkey who was
bloody and weak and Lynch the
boss.
! A draw decision was all that
could have been given. This same
pair meet in a four-round prelim
at the Italian Hospital Fund
show July 2.
