Take yesterdays game, for in
stance, between the Griffmen
and Indians. Base knocks rat
tied off that short wall and
screen in rapid succession, and
it had the fielders bothered
throughout. It is the same thing
in every game.
When a ball is very high it
hits the wire screen and bounds
back in any direction. And when
its low the fielders hesitate be-
fore running back for fear of
misjudging the bounce.
Yesterdays game which
Cleveland won, 9 to 6, saw no
less than five bingIes, ordinarily
easy outs, hit up against the
short right field enclosure.
The two Indian doubles in the
first inning were both easy flies
which carried high enough to hit
the SCI zen and bound back be-
fore West or Harris could get
them. Burnett's double in the
second was of the same tyr
Kuhel's triple and Vests first
double we're tricky flies in that
screen, and would have been outs
at Griffith Stadium. But all is
fair in love and war, and the
Griffmen will Just have to hit
more balls in that direction to
outbid the Indians for hitting
the rightfield WALL honors.
The Indians were consistent at
bat yesterday, handing the Griffs
their first loss in their last II
games. They worked on Sad
Sam Jones until they got him
and. in doing so, they collected
a big enough lead to keep the
Griffmen in tow during the later
innings. Jones went out in the
sixth.
The Griffs came within one
run of tying the score twice off
Walter Miller, southpaw starting
hurler for the Indians, with the
idea of making it interesting
during the early going. But it

TWO WINS
TODAY
BY GARRETT WATERS

BY GARRETT WATERS
CLEVELAND, Ohio, June 20.
About week ago the Washing
ton pitchers had record behind
them of going the route in nine
successive games without relief.
The past six games has seen
turn around of affairs. Every
starting pitcher since June 10
has had to call upon a mate to
save him, or has been so un.
steady that a pinch hitter has
been put in his place, bringing
a fresh man to the mound for
the remaining innings.
Yet, the Griffmen have won
games because the relief men in
volVed have delivered and the
Griff batSmen have come through
when hits have meant runs.
Yesterdays defeat at the
hands of the Cleveland Indians
had to come sometime, but II
brought out the fact that pitch
ing is going to he the thing
which will prove vital in decid.
ing the flag.
These Western teams will be
troublesome for all pitchers. And
that goes for the AS big trio
Grove, EarnShaw and Walberg.
Thus this current Western invaS-
ion for both the Griffmen and AS
will be important in the heated
pennant race.
Want Two Wins Today
The Griffmen, who lost a full
game to the AS by taking it on
the nose, 9 to 6, against the In
dlans yesterday, are not going to
let little thing like the halting
OF winning streak break up their
morale, they say.
They'll be in there today to
grab both ends of the double
header listed against the Indians
with Brown and Fischer ready
and r'aring to go as mound
starters.
Naturally, I'd like to have
seen the boys win yesterday"
said Manager Walter johnson
this morning. But we had to
lose sometime, and 1 guess it's
best we got it out of our sys-
tenn. The only thing Is 1t
makes it harder to catch the
AS who won yesterday. We're
still going to do that, though"
Willis Hudlin and Milburn
Shoffner, the latter a left-hander.
will in all likelihood take the
mound for Manager Roger Peck
inpaugh's gang. A warm after
noon is in prospect in view of
the extreme heat in this city at
this time.
Charity Hurts Ankle
The number 13 is held unlucky
in many ways by some overly su-
perstitious. Patsy Charity
swears by it today after yester-
days episode in which he
sprained his ankle before game
time.
Patsy tripped over a bat while
chasing a foul pop in front of the
plate during the Griffmen's bat
ting drill. Patsy, on talking about
things, had this to say:
II tell you about this thirteen
business. There was yesterday,
Friday, and we out to win our
thirteenth straight. We lost
and i hurt my ankle to boot.
You bet your life I'm super
StitiOuS."
Patsy won't feel so bad after
he's up and around again. He
certainly doesn't like to miss any
thing on the ball field even
though he does not play. Just
another example of the fine
spirit that prevails on this ball
club.
