BOSTON, Aug. II. You can
call it anything you like, but it's
the most uncanny occurrence that
has hit the Washington ball club
in years.
We refer to none other than the
spirit and determination prevalent
among the 1888 Griffmen -s so
noticeable that the entire league
is finally putting it down that
there is nothing temporary
about it.
There was no better demonstra-
ton of it given than yesterday
when Cronin and his gang. with
their backs to the wall, went out
and scored six runs in the ninth
inning to defeat the Red SoX, 8 to
4, in one of the most unusual
games this season.
Henry Johnson, right-hander,
had been going great guns for the
Sox for eight innings when Mana
ger Marty McManus, of that team,
decided it was well worth the
chance to withdraw his pitcher
in the lower end of the eighth for
the purpose of pushing over one
more run to make the SoX ad-
vantage stronger than it was.
Took Stock Quickly
Taking stock quickly he did
just this and with the Sox lead
ing 3 to 2 in the eighth and the
bases full with only one out, he
withdrew johnson in favor Of
Pinchhitter Smead Jolley, who
drove over that supposed needed
run with a fly to Manush.
This, of course, brought new
pitcher to the mound for the
Griffs' portion of the ninth and
he happened to be George Pip
gras, usually poison for Manager
Cronin's gang. But George, in
this instance, was off his form or
something, as the Griffs began a
rally which did not end until
they had not only cut down the
Sox 4-to-2 lead, but had gone into
the van by four runs. Four hits.
an error by Cooke and four bases
on balls did the trick.
Six markers were showed over
the plate, PipgraS being driven
off the peak as we'll as three 9TH
ers, namely, Lefty Lloyd Brown,
Paul Andrews and Johnny WEIGH,
before the frame ended.
Now, the important part of this
story is this: The Griffs' spirit
and determination throughout the
afternoon kept them forever in
the game and aided them in fin
ally winning a contest that looked
practically "in" for the Red Sox
before the ninth, with Henry
johnson pitching so we'll and the
chances of Pipgras holding the
Griffs safe after taking JohnSon'S
place at the termination of the
SoX eighth.
Rice Singles
But to get to that rally. Sc
we'll began by grounding out to
McManus Rice, up for Crowder,
singled to left, taking second on
Cookies tumble.
Myer walked. Goslin, with a
count of three and two, doubled
to left center, and Myer, by some
tall sprinting, was able to score
behind Rice with the tieing run.
Exit Mr.. Pipgras. Enter Lefty
Lloyd Brown.
Manush walked. Exit Mr..
Brown. Enter Mr.. Andrews. Gro
min walked. Schultz, after waV-
ing wildly at two pitchers, dou-
bled down the left field line, scor-
ing Goslin and Manush and send
ing Cronin to third. Kuhel singled
to left, scoring Cronin and Schultz.
Exit Mr.. Andrews. Enter Mr..
Welch.
Bluege walked. Sewell, up for
the second time in the inning, flied
to Cooke. Rice, up again, was
out, Walters to Judge. Summary:
Six runs, four hits, one error, two
left.
The result: The ball game. And
what a game to win, Whee!
