-Four straight" is the cry
of Manager JOhnSOn'S gang,
and they mean it, particularly
after yesterdays showing at
st. Louis. when they SOcked out
16 hits for 10 runs.
The Griffs figure they should
have won three games during the
st. Louis series instead of two.
A HIT Would Have Won
They point out that safe
bingle at any time in the first
encounter which Lefty Lloyd
Brown lost, to 2, would have
turned the trick. but it was not
forthcoming.
81 still believe we will return
home with nice winning streak
under our BELTS" was JOhnsOn's
comment. "The boys showed
plenty of hitting strength yes
terday, and 1 think it was just
the thing needed to set them
right for this Chicago SERIES"
The Griffmen began to squelch
the Browns yesterday right from
the start. They jumped on Wally
Hebert, Manager Killifer's open
ing mound choice, scoring two
runs off him Immediately when
Judge walked and Myer, Manush
and Cronin singled.
Carl Fischer was then brought
in by the Browns and he was
knocked from the peak after
three innings.
Chad Kimsey took up the du-
ties in the fourth and pitched
the remainder of the way even
though hit to all corners of
the lot.
Cronin with two doubles, and
a single, and Myer, with the
same thing led the Griff attack.
Dave Harris smote a triple while
Kuhel and Berg collected doubles
to join in the hitting.
Yves Kingdom, substituting for
Ossie Bluege, gathered two sin.
giles for himself.
Seventh for Tommy
Tommy Thomas chalked up his
seventh triumph as a Griffman
by going the full route. Leading
by 10 to 2, Tommy eased up in
the ninth and the Browns scored
four runs before any outs were
recorded. However, the former
Chisox hurler, frightened when
things became too dangerous and
retired the side for a well-de-
served victory.
The Griffs have now won seven
games from the Browns for the
season. The Brownies still hold
the edge, however, with nine
triumphs.

Yea, we have been pronounc-

we writin' fellers, for the better
part of half dozen years, but
somehow or another he still
continues to get on bases and
around the bases, and that's
one of the things which make
him such a magnetic person
ality.
you've got to have a lot of
respect for a man who simply
doesn't let anything lick him.
In his latest gesture, Babe
Ruth has proven that when
the hearse finally backs up to
his front door and they sprin-
kle flowers on his bier, he still
may rise up and hit a posy
over the graveyard fence, just
for old-time's sake.
When the long-frocked gen.
tlemen say obsequies over
this guy George Herman Babe
Ruth. Esq, he is likely to rise
up in indignation and say:
