DETROIT, Mich, July. .12.--Bucky
Harris and his gang of gamesters
are here today to open a series of
five games in four days against
George Moriarty's fighting Felines.
A single clash is due today, but
tomorrow two games are on the
schedule. All five promise plenty
of fireworks, as the Griffs are out
to widen the gap between the two
teams. The Griffs have won four
out of the seven played and hope
to take four of the five here before
moving on to Chicago Friday night.
Uncle Tom Zachary will be called
upon to carry his teams newest
winning streak into seven straight
today. The Griffs have not lost a
game yet in the West on this Sec
ond tour and may be depended upon
to fight hard to the end. All Zach
must do Is to hold up his end.
There is doubt which of his pitchers
George Moriarty will send to the
slab for the opener.

and had a beautiful birdie three

strokes to par at the thirteenth,
however, when he sliced into
the gOrse and lost his ball. He
was short at the fourteenth and
took four to reach the green and
then took two puts for a six.
