FAILS
AS GR|FFS
SUCCUMB
(By Times Staff Correspondent

(By Times Staff CorrespOndent)
BOSTON, Mass, June 9.-Thus
far the Griffs have not expe-
rienced the best baseball week in
the world, what with losses at the
hands of the Philadelphia AS and
unusual battles with the Boston
Red Sox.
Yesterday the team to a man
was ready for a better turn in
fortune. The Red Sox, they ar
gued, should be taken" We
should be winning more regularly
than we have of late, they agreed.
Then "bingo!" went that first
game to the Beaneaters. It was
terribly hard to take because,
first, the team battled for dear
life to win against some great
pitching served up by Left Lloyd
Brown and Bob Kline, while sec
ond, Alphonse Thomas was turn
ing in some unusual pitching
himself-in fact, the best pitch
ing the Griffs had received in
days from one of the supposed
regulars.
But victory drifted away and
as late as the ninth inning with
two out and two on base.
Griffs Were Leading
The Griffs went into this ninth
leading 3 to 2, when Ferrell dou-
bled against the right field fence.
Thomas grabbed Cookies bounce
and threw that player out at
first, Ferrell moving to third, but,
for some unknown reason, the
veteran couldn't get the ball over
to Werber, who walked.
This brought Dale Alexander
to bat for Pitcher Kline. Alex
ander didn't deliver as Cronin
camped under his pop fly for
two outs.
Here, Tommy got two strikes
on Roy johnson, the next batter,
but johnson shot a looping double
to right on Tommy's following
pitch and Ferrell was across with
the tieing run. Thomas then
gave McManus an Intentional
pass in order to get" the weaker
hitting Seeds, but the strategy
failed when Seeds also drew four
wide ones, Werber being forced
over the plate with the run which
won the game for the Sox, 4 to 3.
Players Sad
Now, this is the point of this
story. The Griffs wanted to win
this game like they've seldom
wanted to win before. It meant
not only an ounce of morale, to
the team, but deserving tri-
umph for Thomas, who had
hurled splendidly for the most
part.
Wher the game ended, there
was sad, but determined look
in the eyes of every player. They
beat us, eh? Well, by CAD, we'll
go cut and get 'em in the next
game or die in the attempt, they
said.
They did. The Sox were de-
feated and beaten good and
proper as the IL to 3 score will
prove. The Griffs, in rebuttal,
are asking themselves today, "are
we down hearted, despite recent
losses?" the answer is, mol" And
so you have it of the Griffs at
this trying stage of the season.
They were lue, yes, after those
Philadelphia defeats. But they
are a determined collection of
athletes today-determined to get
back into the thick of things if
it takes every ounce of their
strength and patience.

LOW FREIGHT RATE
REJECTION IS URGED
I. c. C. Examiner Opposes Pro
posal of Southern Roads for
Sharply Reduced Level.

By the Associated Press. ...
Recommendation that reduced freight
rates proposed by Southern railroads
through South Atlantic and Gulf sea-
ports be ordered Cancelled were made
to the Interstate Commerce Commission
today in report by Harris Fleming, an
examiner.
He proposed new rates, not less than
30 per cent of those for similar dis
tances in domestic commerce, be au-
thorized in their stead.
Rates between New Orleans and GER
tain points which Eastern railroads did
not combat would be approved under
the finding.
He also recommended the commits
sion direct that rates on neWsprint pa
per from Newfoundland be found unfair
to the extent that they may be higher
than rates proposed from the various
seaports to the same destinations on
paper originating in Europe and Africa.
The proposed report, yet to be acted
on by the commission. is the first find
ing in the battle between railroads serv-
ing North Atlantic seaports and those
serving the Gulf, South Atlantic and
Florida over export and import freight.
