Readings Is In Row
Sets Record For
Losses

JERSEY CITY, N. J., May
pa new record of twenty
five straight defeats has been
set today by the Reading club
of the international League,
recently purchased by the Chi
cago Cubs. The former record
of twenty-three consecutive de-
feats was set by Pittsburgh in
1890.
Reading lost two games to
Jersey City yesterday. The
team has won only three games
and lost thirty-five this season.

champion Yankees.
If the Griffs can get some hits
when they are needed and show the
speed they are known to have. they
may make the race interesting by
pulling the Yankees back closer to
the pack. The Champions proved
quite too much for the western
clubs.
Sam Rice is not the only
Griffman failing to live up to
his reputation. Ossie Bluege is
also Disappointing. both in his
hitting and his fielding. Goose

Horace Lisenbee today would

game in Detroit was made a
tie by Manush, the game being
called to permit the Griffs to

When Manush came to bat the
Griffs were leading to 8, two were
down and the Detroit fans were fill

was up for the home team. Then
Manush clouted to the right field

This promises to be one rough,

his gang. They have five battles
with the Champion New York
Yankees, the first coming today
after a long, firing ride from De-
troit and then two double headers
closing the week in New York.
Yet, strangely enough, the Griffs
are rather looking forward to these
battles. They have broken even
with the champions in their six
games played and, despite the pro.
digious power of the Yankee attack,
the Griffs do not fear the title

The Westinghouse proved a dis
appointment to their admirers on
their first tour of the West. They
won four and lost six games. with
that final tie in Detroit yesterday.
It was that string Of five straight
defeats, starting in st. Louii and
ending in Cleveland, that soured
many Of their admirers for the time
being.
There is no sense in attempting
alibis for the Griffs. The box
scores have told the story Of lost
opportunities galore and the stand
ings show the painful results.
iris Speaker, Bucky Harris, Joe
Judge and Ruel maintained a high
standard Of play throughout the trip
around the frontier sections of the
circuit, while Thurston and Lisen-
bee have looked like real pitchers.
The Griffs opened in St. Louis in
