To BOSTON
TO-DAY
By Louis A. Dougher

X a-
After loafing a couple Of DAYS
the Washington Griffmen get down
to work again today, facing Bill
Carrigan's Boston Red Sox. OF the
is games already down in the
books, 10 have been Washington
victories and, naturally, the Griffs
carry long odds today.
Lizzie Lisenbee, scheduled to op-
pose the AS in Philadelphia Thurs
day, is expected to take crack
at the New Englanders today. His
opponent may be Hal Wiltse, Carri-
gan's formidable young southpaw.
The Red Sox are here for two
games in two, days, making their
final appearance of the season to-
morrow at the Griffith Stadium.
Four more games are to be played
by the Griffs in Boston during the
final week OF the campaign, with
a doubleheader scheduled for Mon
day, September 26.
Since the Boston club was
last here Manager Carrigan has
shifted Buddy Myer to third
base and ROthrOck to shOrtst0p.
the latter is proving one of the
most promising young players
IN the league and hopes are
entertained that he will eventu=
ally bloom into the leagues
best shOrtstOp.
Fred Wingfield. once a Griffman,
is no longer a member of the Red
Sox pitching staff. A lame arm
handicapped him all season and he
has been turned over to the Port
land club in the New England
League.
The bitter scrap for second place
between the AS and Griffs may
see results within a few days.
While the Griffs are playing the
Red Sox here, the AS must tackle
the Yankees. Then next Monday
and Tuesday will see the Griffs
hooked up with the AS in four
games at Shibe Park.
Taking advantage Of the Griff.
mems long losing streak and the
sudden cracking of the Detroit
Tigers, the Mackmen succeeded
in climbing into second place
and hope to finish there. They
may do so, but before that
that happens they must expect
bitter opposition from the
WashingtOnians.
Next Thursday the final invasion
| Of the East by the frontiersmen
will get under way, the White Sox
opening the barrage at the Grit
| fifth Stadium. Rain washed out the
Griffs final game in Chicago last
Monday and this has been trans.
ferred to this city.
Sixteen games are to be played
by the Western clubs here before
saying adieu for the season, five
with the White Sox, four each
with the Tigers and Browns, and
three with the Indians.

CHICAGO, Sept. 3.-The injunc-

An atmosphere, apparently essen

ing event, was being manufactured
here today as lawsuits-and threats
of lawsuits-designed at stopping
the impending Tunney Dempsey
brawl, were thrown into the judicial
grist.
This atmosphere - of uuarreling
lawyers and tip-toeing sleuths armed
with mysterious papers-only augurs,
according to those of cynical bent,
the complete success of Tex Richards
greatest promotional venture.
Most important Of the legal
Overtures now in the cocoon
stage, is an echo Of Tex
Richards 1926 gesture to hold
heavyweight championship
match in Chicago. At that time
Dempsey was champion, and
one b. G. Clements, of the Chi
cagO Coliseum Club, threatened
to make things unpleasant ON
the grounds that Dempsey was
under contract to fight for him.
He later tried to stop the Phila-
delphia fight, but failed.
Yesterday, this same B. C. Gle
ments, on behalf of his club. asked
the Cook County Circuit Court to
enjoin Jack Dempsey from appear
ing in the worlds title bout SEIZED.
uled for 'oldiers Field, September
%. The complaint is the same as
before, that the ex-champ has not as
vet fulfilled his obligation to the
Coliseum club.
Tex Richard, George Getz, his
Illinois promoter; the State boxing
commissioners, and Floyd Fitzsim-
mons, an Indiana promoter, were
also named with Dempsey as de-
PENDANTS in the suit. A hearing on
the Injunction plea will be granted
next Tuesday.

ris' idea of several may be writ
ten in three figures.
The Silver Spring fan, in his
many selections, runs strongly to
Root and Hoyt. pitchers: Hartnett
and Ruel, catchers; Gehrig, first
base; Hornsby. second base; Tray.
nor, third. base: Jackson, shortstop
and Meusel, Speaker and Paul
Waner in the outfield.
All Of these are favOrites with
the hundreds Of fans who took
part In the contest. Most of
them agree, however, that only
one player stands out so sharply
that Ruth cannot avoid cIlOs1ng
him. This is Lou GehFig. whose
rise in personal popularity with
the fans has been quite as
marked as his ball playing

Another contestant who has triad
