!ISEN BEE
Or BURKE
TODAY
BY Louis A. Dougher

Lizzie Llsenbee is due to tW1rl
today against the Red Sox, but it
d just possible that Bucky Harris
will send the slender Bob Burke
10 the hill. Burke has appeared in
parts Of games this spring, but he
has yet to start one for himself.
Bryan Harriss, Carrigan's tall
Texan, is expected to get the nod
today, though Charlie Ruffing is
also a candidate to oppose the
home guard.
The holiday doubleheader
went to the Griffs, to o and
is to 5. Walter johnson held
the visitors to three scattered
hits and no runs in the first
clash, while Bump Hadley
STAYED off several rallies in the
second.
Tony Weller gave Johnson a
bitter fight. Blessed with better
support, he might have finished
closer to his great opponent. Del
mar Lundgren was hammered un-
fnercifuliy in the second and driven
from the mound in the fifth inning.
Ii was a soft triumph for the Griffs.
Buddy Myer aided and abetted
the Griffs in making their first run
In TIE opener, his tumble and wild
throw putting Ruel on third and
another tumble killing a possible
double play to let Ruel count.
In the sixth came the other two
runs, Speaker polling a single and
scoring on Rueps single. Judge
had walked and got to third on that
hit so, as Ruel started for second
and was run down, the little first
sacker tailed the final run of the
game.
The second clash promised an
other mound duel for one in.
ming. Then the Griffs leaped
upon Lundgren, tore him limb
from limb and scattered the frag-

hits and two passes bringing
over eight runs.
Judge singled, RueI tripled, Rig.
ney and Bluege walked, Hadley
singled, Rice tripled, Harris singled,
Goslin doubled and Judge tripled,
that's the way the bombardment
went, ending with eight runs for the
home boys.
A couple of blows and Judges
long fly added a run in the fourth
and in the fifth four more hits
brought extinction to Lundgren.
With two gone Hadley doubled and
Rice singled. Harris got an infield
hit that scored both Hadley and
Rice while Myer was deciding what
to do with the ball in his hand. 1t
was there that Lundgren ambled off
the field to let Wilson perform.
Rucky Harris drove in two runs
off the newcomer in the seventh
with a home run down to Fred
Worumbo Pelzmann's sign behind
Hadley, who had doubled.
Hadley was effective, terribly eff.
fectiVe, but he was also wild here
and there. Three hits, a pass and
Rigney's tumble gave the Red Sox
three runs in the third inning and
they got two more during Hadley's
wild streak in the fifth.
That fifth showed Hadley's

Rolling with a pitched ball and
with two out Flagstead singled
to center. jacobson brought
them both over with a scream

Then Hadley plunked Myer in
the back of the neck and ended
sit all by tanning Cleo Carlyle.
All through the day Ossie Bluege
played remarkable ball in the field.
Twice he stole hits from old Grover
Hartley with magnificent stops. 1t
was too bad Ossie could not have
obtained at least one hit during that
second game slaughter, but he
couldn't.
With the second victory assured
Bucky Harris pulled out Rice and
Speaker and the last frame saw
Stewart at second, Berger behind
the bat and Cullop in left field.
