Washington Griffmen conclude
White Sox here today.
Acknowledging the American
League seniority OF Jack Quinn
alone, the red.head still is con.
sidered q canny pitcher and is
always a tough article when facing
the washington club.
He is expected to draw Bob
Burke; q southpaw many years his
junior, as q slab rival. Burke, who
halls from Joliet. ILL.,. some 40 miles
distant, has been promised this turn
by Manager Walter johnson and
win be in there bearing down all
the way In an effort to deliver
before his homo folks.
This win not be the only
incentive for BOb's putting ON
steam, however. Promised a
starting turn with the Griff.
men IN the event he comes
through, he will be cunning
all the harder to satisfy this
j
"Joliet Bob" has shown not at all
badly In the starting chances this
season and seems good bet to
be used regularly In the event he
delivers today. And, considering his
usual effectiveness against the Pale
Hose, his chances are good.
Trailing 2 to ! I'm their set with
the White Sox, 1t will be neces-
sary for the Griffmen to score
today in order to gain an even
break. Otherwise they must sur
render their first series Of the year
to Lena Blackburne's gang.
Only one more stop Is slated after
today's game here, five.game
series over q four-day period being
scheduled with Dan Howiey,s bother
some st. Louis Browns at Sports
mans Park, beginning tomorrow.
Leaving for the Mound City at a
late hour tonight, the downtrodden
Washington club VIII arrive there
tomorrow morning and win inau-
gurate action with q double-header
in the afternoon.
After soaring into q 5.tO-I
terday's battle, the Griffmen
again took il on the chin from
the lOWly White SOx 6 to 5.
The deciding punch was landed
In the tenth round when two
singles and as many errors by
Sam West and Goose GOslin
proved fatal.
Bump Hadley. who had sup
planted Myles Thomas in the eighth
with the tieing run on third base
was charged with the defeat. Cissell
had singled over that knotting
count before the comedy of errors
staged by West and Goslin spoiled
the show for Hadley.
Cissell opened the extra session
with a single to center and took
second on Vests slip up after
which Art Shires. hitting safely in
his fifteenth consecutive game, fol-
lowed suit with a shot to left which
permitted Cissell to score when the
ball got away from Goslin.
Five Chicago pitchers were pa
raded. Weiland started and was
succeeded in turn by Dugan, Nc
Kain, Adkin and AL Thomas. Al
Thomas, who relieved Adkins in
the ninth. was credited with the
verdict after he had pitched his
club out Of a precarious situation
caused by two passes off Adkins
with only one gone.
Myles Thomas, who allowed but
two hits for six heats, was duelled
to a standstill by the Rangy Wei
land until the fifth when the rookie
southpaw was picked for runs.
Myer walked and Bluege singled
him to third. Weiland frightened
and retired the next two but singles
by Cronin and Thomas slammed
over Myer and Bluege.
A walk, single and an infield
out got one of them back I'm Chi

left finished Dugan and produced
two runs, while Vests triple regis.

The Sox then launched a two-run
attack off Myles Thomas in the sew

Adkins started this parade with a
base on L,4lls, and when Metzler rCde
the ball to the right-field scoreboard
for three bases, Adkins completed
the circuit. Hadley rescued Thomas,
and, after Cissell had singled across
the knotting count, set dow the
next three.
Hadley pitched creditable ball there
after until ruined by those tenth
inning errors.
