eR|FFMEN POINT TO TWO GAME SERIES with MACK Zen
IMPORTANCE
ATTACHED.
TOFRAYS
BY GARRETT WATERS


Although the Detroit Tigers
are not due to end their current
series here until tomorrow, the
Griffs are casting a great deal
of thought these days to an i'm.
portant set of contests to be
played with the Philadelphia
AS, Friday and Saturday.
To defeat the Macknen in both
games will mean plenty to Man.
ager Johnson's men right now as
better position in the race will be
derived as a result.
Another thing the Griffs are in
little better winning mood at
this stage of the season than
when they last met the AS. On
that occasion, it will be remem-
bered, the Griffs had just re-
turned from poor Western
journey and their morale was not
at its best ebb.
Feel Better
However, the Griffs admit and
feel ,..at they are playing better
ball these days and because of
this hold special hopes of "tak-
ing" a couple of games in the
idea of helping their advance in
the race which they truly want
to strengthen as the days unfold
the schedule.
Manager Johnson'S men no
doubt will get Messrs. Grove and
EarnShaw shot against them in
the two contests. Howevr. they
plan on not letting this bother
them as it is generally an expected
thing to have to face the pair of
super pitchers whenever a short
series with the AS is in order.
Just who Manager Johnson will
shoot against the Quaker City in
vaders is not definitely known
at this writing. Both Lefty Lloyd
Brown and Gen. Alvin Crowder
will be available and no doubt
will get the assignments, Brown,
Friday, and Crowder, Saturday.
It might be said, the Griffs are
not so far behind second place
these days even though several
games actually separate them
from the runners-up berth. A few
more consistent triuInphs is all
that is necessary to cause a break
in things and naturally it is hoped
that Manager Johnson's men will
be fortunate enough to win in Or
der to get up there" as such is
their aims.
Not So Bad
Counting yesterdays contest
with the Tigers. the Griffs have
not Jared so badly during this
home stand. In actual figures
Manager Johnson's men have won
nine games in 16 played-a good
comeback for a team labeled
Through" for the season after
that disheartening Western trip
last month.
Briefly, one out of five was
taken from the Cleveland Indians,
VINO were the first to show here,
Four straight were annexed from
the Chicago White Sox and four
from the st. Louis Browns. Yes.
terday the teams third loss to
the Tigers was felt when the
Harrismen scored by a 3 to 2
game.
In regard to this Tiger series,
the Griffs are hopeful of winning
the remaining two games, sched.
uled today and tomorrow. Nat.
urally they realize they've got
plenty on their hands with the
Tigers so anxious to keep in the
thick of the first division fight.
But it's their plan to plug away
in the idea that hope will reward
their efforts.
Oh. for all. the teams success
in the world.

SERIES FRAY
|. At CENTRAL
STADIUM
BY GARRETT WATERS

BY GARRETT WATERS
One of the most heated word
battles in high school history was
ended this morning. That is,
ended until the teams involved
take it out of their systems on
the football field at Central Sta
dium tomorrow.
Yes it's about the Tech, Eastern
game which rain and bad weather
has postponed all week
The latest official announce
ment Is to the effect that the two
elevens will meet tomorrow at
Central Stadium at $3.50 o'clock.
This announcement was handed
out this morning by John Paul
Collins, athletic director of the
high schools.
This bulletin follows yesterday S
heated argument by chiefs Of
each team over the prospect of
playing the game despite the
threatening weather.
Hardell Happy
AS known, it was postponed
after relentless argument on the
part of Coach Hap Hardell, of
Tech, who was very anxious to
have the contest staged.
But Hardell is all smiles today
because of what probably should
oe termed a moral victory for him.
I'he game is on. it will be played
tomorrow. and everything can 60
on as before, as far as Hardell is
concerned.
All this means that the Tech
eleven faces a ponderous task
ourlng the next few days in the
1nter-high series. After tomor-
rows contest the Manual Train
ers will be forced to play Western
next Tuesday after only three
days rest.
Coach Hardell is confident that
MS charges can stand the strain,
however. And rightly so. as he
mas a wealth of reserve material
under his direction to throw into
The breach if necessity calls.
Hardell has one other rea-on
Tor playing the game tomorrow
instead of after the conclusion
OF the inter-high schedule. 1t is
because his teams schedule is
80 filled hat there wouldn't We
any place for the contest.
Eastern Saying Little
Eastern isn't saying much about
the now final turn in affairs. but
has resigned itself to the willing
ness to play the game tomorrow
to stop all the wrangling. if moth
ing else. The Lincoln Parkers,
from their conception of the sit
uation. only want to postpone
the meeting yesterday because
they didn't like the idea of going
out on the Central field and try
ing to play with the weather and
turf as sloppy as it was.

The visitors are coming to town

Anything in the way Of a victory
for Tech may mean a chance this
year for coping the scholastic

been held by Dunbar for the last
two seasons.
The visitors bowled over both
of the local teams by a score of
6 to 0. thereby staging an early
season upset for Coach Pinder.
