the Griffmen their third ball
game in a row when the
Tigers COPIED the opening
clash Of their set here, 3 to l.
In all of the frames mentioned
the Walter Johnsons had the
stage set for a rally but their
inability to hit coupled with
Harris skillful juggling of pitch
ers cost them the verdict.
Elon Hogsett, crack Indian left
handler, retired in the eighth
frame with a 81 advantage and
although Herring, Page and Sulli
van alternately succeeded him.
Hogsett was officially credited
with his third win of the year.
Lloyd Brown, who pitched great
ball before eventually giving way
to Braxton, the victim of poor
support when the Bengals cashed
their two-run victory edge in the
seventh. Alexander's single was
turned into tally when Fother-
gill connected to center and the
ball got through Loepp for a two,
base error. Pinch Hitter Uhle's
scratch hit off Cronin's glove
scored Fothergill.
Consecutive two-baggers by
Brown and Loepp gave Washing
ton a run in its half. After the
Tigers had picked up another in
the eighth Braxton relieved
Brown. Moore succeeded Brax-
ton in the ninth.
Yesterday, after assisting In a
double play, Buddy was temporar-
lily kayoed in a collision with Out

last winter, is himself again. Boss
failed to get started with the
Lookouts due to a bad knee this
spring, and reported here for
treatment His injury is virtually
healed, and he will soon be able
to travel at top speed.
Fred Marberry will strive to get
the Griffs back into form today
when the Tigers are met in the
second game Of their current

Victor Sorrell or Earl White

Bucky Harris. Marberry usually
goes good against the Tigers, and
