What follows on the field of battle
promised to be decidedly more compll-
Gated, despite the fact that the Griff
men We're to be represented on the
hill by Walter Perry Johnson, who is
breezing along in front of the pitch
ing pact, with 9 victories in the II
contests he has started this year.
1t was expected that the champions
would be opposed by Earl Whtehill.
a Southpaw of parts, who compiled
an enviable record with the Bengals
last sea ason, but has found the going
rough thus far in the current season.
Lefties Don't Feaze Griffs.
T Raymond Cobb, pilot of the
Jungaleers, evidently is working on
the theory that Harris and his hench-
men are at a disadvantage against
lefthanders. This notion is not so pre-
valent as it used to be, and the Bucks
helped to further dissipate it by the
punishment they inflicted on Hub
Leonard yesterday, when the big
forkha ander was bombed off the hill in
the fifth inning. having II bingles
and runs charged against him.
Stan Coveleskie started against
Leonard and hurled creditably until
Winso and Cobb reached him for cir
cult clouts that produced four runs
in the sixth inning. Then the Pole
was withdrawn for pinch hitter and
Marberry finished out the string,
yielding but a single safety in the last
three frames.
McNalIy Aids the Enemy
McNally, subbing at short for the
ailing Peck, got the Griffmen off on
the wrong foot by heaving yards wide
to Judge after grabbing Haney's slow
roller at the outset of the battle, and

left-field line. sending Haney to third,
and the latter Tailed on Wingo's sim
gle to center. Cobb was nipped on the
arm by a pitched ball, filing the
bases, and after Coveleslie had vic
timized Heilmann on strikes. Blue
scored O'Rourke with long fly to
Goslin. Tavener left two Tigers on
when he rolled to Harris.
A counter offensive launched
against Leonard enabled the Griffs
to tie 1t up in their half. McNeely
lined single over Tavener's head,
raced to third on Harris shot to left
and scored when Rice bounded
safety off Blues glove. Goslin's death
advanced Harris and Rice, and after
a pass to Judge had filled the bases
Bucky tailed on Bluege's loft to He'll
mann. A bingle from Ruel at this
Juncture would have netted two more
markers, but Muddy's best was fly
to Cobb.
Champions Get the Breaks.
The Champs got some of the well
known breaks when they scored twice
In the third to take the lead. Harris
scratched a hit at the outset with a
badbounding biff to Haney and
sprinted to third when Rice chopped
safety over the midway just out of
ORourke's reach. Goslin then
caromed a whack off Leonard's glove
for one base, scoring Harris. Judges
suicide advanced his mates, and
Bluege's fly to Cobb cashed Rice Ruel
