team Jared pretty well against
these western invaders. Eleven
games were won against seven
lost and this record includes that
nine-game winning streak which
brought the team back into the
good graces of everyone inter.
ested, both local fans and those
outside.
Yesterday the Griffs defeated
the Detroit Tigers in the fifth
and final game of the series with
that team to "catch" that
eleventh triumph Of the above
mentioned stand against the
west.
TOrrid Battle

what battle it was and how
Pitchers Monte Weaver and
Whitelaw Wyatt endeavored to
outlast cath other on the mound.
The former won, because he was
good later in the game where
Wyatt was bad.
Three runs off Weaver in the
first inning gave the Tigers a
lead that looked as large as a
mountain. But the Griffs
plugged away at Wyatt and man.
aged to get the lead in the fifth,
which was never relinquiShed.
Two runs in this fifth actually
turned the trick. Wyatt, feeling
the heat tremendously, walked
Myer as a starter. Buddy went
out stealing when Manush missed
the hit-and-run sign. Then Heinie
singled to center.
Joe Cronin followed with his
second hit of the day, single to
center, sending Manush to third.
Kuhel's fly to Stone scored Heinie,
while Sammy Vests line single to
right center counted Cronin, who
had taken second on KuhelS loft.
RueI Gets Triple
Honest-to-goodness hitting scored
the four Tiger markers. In the
first Davis single and doubles by
Gehringer, Walker and Rhiel
counted three runs. In the sew
enth Ruel's triple and Wyatt's in
field out counted the other.
Outside of these scoring innings,
Weaver pitched excellent ball
And, as said, he seemed to get
better as things progressed. even
though terribly bothered by the
heat. In the ninth, with only
one out and Hayworth on first
by virtue of his single, he forced
Pinch Hitter White to force Hay
worth, Myer to Cronin, and
famed Davis, who had collected
three hits before this frame.
Monte's victory marked his
fourteenth of the season. His
good pitching also enabled the
Griffs to gain fourth place again
in the standings. Now the idea

On Expenses

HUNTINGTON, N. Y, July %.
Fourteen of the country'S leading
tennis players today awaited an
answer from the Seabright invita-
ton tournament officials that
they receive expenses in full.
Forgetting their tilts in the
Crescent-Hamilton Club tourney
here the players stormed the tele-
graph offices for an answer from
Seabright, while Holcomb Ward,
president of the Eastern Lawn
Tennis Association rebuffed the
players with the threat the tour
ney would be held whether they
played or not.
U. S. L. T. A. Wrath
On top of the promise that
their demands might not be met,
there was also the wrath of the
U. S. L. T. A. to consider, which
is almost certain to be called

their way. Seabright may be with.
out a women's tournament, too.
A telegram has been sent up to
Manchester asking the women
stars playing up there to join the

The Crescent quarter final line
up for this afternoon puts Cliff

Before close to 5000 startled
spectators at the Griffith Sta
dium last night, the italian ter
ror was roughly abused by Dusek

Bortnick believed Dusek was far
too rough on the Italian. The
end came after 38 minutes, when
Referee Bostwick K.O'd Dusek be,
cause the latter appeared to be
choking Garibaldi.
Dusek the AggreSSOr
Aside of the first few mo-
ments when Garibaldi stretched
out Dusek with a Furnishing wrist
lock, Dusek was much the aggreS-
sor and was miles out in front
on points.
The Italian, failing to show
any Of the skill or ruggednesS
that had characterized his pre-
vious victory over Dusek and
his subsequent win over Fred
Grobmier, was on the defense.
Dusek wrapped his rockingham
split with ease about Garibaldi,
applied arm stretches, wrist locks,
head locks and delivered elbow
punches and straight-frOm the
shoulder blows without return.
.Dusek also drew blood from
Garibaldis nose and the stream
poured down upon the Italians
broad chest. The italians in the
audience evidently thought their
idol was being assassinated as

SOLONS
REFUSE TO
COMMENT
BY MICHAEL ]. FOSTER

ATLANTIC HIGHLANDS, N. j.,
July 22.-Hooker Talcott of the
Seabright Lawn Tennis and
Cricket Club. has no comment to
make today on the demand of
players invited to participate in
the clubs tennis tournament, that
they be assured of expenses for
the entire tourney irrespective of
the length of their competition.
Officially Talcott doesn't know
anything about the request. The
telegram sent by the players was
apparently addressed to the Sea-
bright Club. Talcott said he
didn't care to make a statement
until he had seen the contents of
the telegram.

AMATEURS HURT
BY LACK Of
ACCOUNTING
BY HARRY COSTELLO

WnaL, II any, HO1ley "do w
tained from the so-called Olympic
games lacrosse play-offs?
What, if any, money was OBJ
tanned from the So-called benefit
boxing show in New York in
Madison Square Garden bowl that
was supposed to be benefit for
New York's Olympic boxing as
pirants?
These two questions are promi-
nent today following news dis
patches from Los Angeles to the
effect that four amateur boxers,
from New York, were reported as
stranded in San Francisco on the
eve of the final Olympic boxing
tryoutS.
Questions similar to these two
asked have been propounded fire.
quently of late.
It seems unusual, If not wholly
peculiar, that newspapers are not
informed Immediately after these
benefit" affairs just how much
money is obtained. 1t seems un-
usual, too. if not wholly peculiar,
that public accounting is not
made Immediately after funds are
obtained by staging these so-called
benefits"
Amateurs Hurt
Amateur athletics in this coun-
try have been. and are, hurt i'm
measurably by the failure of Of
ficiaIs "a. A. U. and others) TO
give an accounting Immediately
after each so-called benefit"
The public is demanding ex-
plantations following incidents
such as The one reported from
the Pacific Coast involving the
four New York amateur boxers.
In the case of the lacrosse
Olympic play-offs, there were two
quarter-final enterprises, one in
New York and one in Baltimore,
two semi-final enterprises, one
in New York and one in Balti-
more, and the final, in Balti-
more. If published reports of at
tendances at the five enterprises
are anywhere near accurate, a
goodly sum of money was OBJ
tanned from these benefits"
Why hasn't some public explana-
ton been forthcoming as to how
much money was obtained, If it
has been spent, and if not spent,
how it is to be spent?
Certainly, those officials who
staged the various benefits" owe
it to the public to make some
sort Of a report.
Accounting Lacking
At the time of the five Ia
crosse enterprises, it was pointed
out by this writer that the pub
lie expected some accounting. If
such an accounting has been
made, word of it has not reached
the offices of this newspaper.
There has been a decided ten
dency on the part of many sports
reporters to condemn amateur
athletic officials for failures to
account for monies derived from
these so-called benefits" 1t
would seem that such officials,
realizing the condition, would
make a sincere effort to have this
shadow of money motive elimi-
mated from the amateur athletic
picture. 1t is high time that the
demands of the public which has
been so generous to amateur ath-
letics are met by amateur ath-
letic officials.
