Special Dispatch TO The Star
TAMPA. Fla, March 1o-The
Griffmen took their annual
licking from the Braves today.
i For many years past 1t has been
the procedure 10 award Boston s
National League representatives the
privilege OF opening the Washington
clubs list OF Spring exhibition games at
Tampa. In return for which honor the
Besneaters invariably have subjected
their hosts to the ignominy Of defeat.
This held good even In the years when
the Grifs went on 10 win a pennant

this afternoon, the tally In this instance
being . TO 5.
One OF the largest opening game
crowds that ever has thronged Plant
Field turned out for the affair. which
not only had the trimmings OF band
music and the tossing out OF the first
ipality. but the fans also were given
a peek at Charles Levine. the TranSat-
lantic flyer. and Miss Mabel Boil, his
passenger on the recent flight from
New York to Havana. who hoped over

version OF the famous 'lnng count"

Lisenbee Pounded.
There were several reasons why the
Braves kept their record unmarried at
the expense OF the GrifIs, but only one
need be cited and his name was Horace
Liscnbee. This youngster failed in a
most emphatic manner TO display either
control or effectiveness until the last
round OF his ihree-innnig sojourn on
the rubber Then ne resembied the
chap who stood the well known
Yankees on their respective heads so
often last season. but that had no bear
