NO 'BREATHER'
FOR GR|FFS
BY staff Correspondent

BOSTON, Aug. 10.-The Grlffs
are in this city today for a three
game series with the Boston Red
SoX, but quite the contrary to the
former rule, the set of games
won't be breather.
There used to be a time when .,
games with the SoX meant plenty
as far as let-up n tenSeneSS
was concerned But not now as
the team, under the Collins,
Yawkey and McManus manage
ment, is terribly on its toes and
able to give every foe the best sort
of opposition. =
Therefore the Griffs have had
it drilled into their minds that
they face a real fight to win dur.
ing the next three days if they ex.
pect to leave for Washington
Saturday night still the winning
combination they've turned out
to be this season.
I'VE beat the Sox three
straight at Griffith Stadium
last week." Manager Cronin
unused today, but in every in
stance they gave us a battle
and made us put forth every
effort to register. And being
on their home field they'll prob
ably give us even more of a bat
tie, which means that we're to
be up against it to win here
just as much as in New York
during the past three days"
General Alvin Crowder, Lefty
Walter Stewart and Earl White
hill will pitch in this series, Man
ager Cronin intimated today.
Saves Weaver
This means that Washington
fans will get glimpse of the
new Griff man of the hour"
Monte Weaver, when the Griffs
return home Sunday for a one
day stand against the New York
Yankees.
1t was Weaver who made 1t
certain of his return to form yes
terday by pitching his head off
while the GriffS batted Lefty
Gomez at timely moments to win
the final of the series with the
New York Yankees, Al.
Yep, Monte was there" on all
cylinders as he let the New
Workers down with only seven
hits and otherwise aided the
Griffs in every way to make a
great comeback in a series
which did not begin so auspici-
ouSly last Monday.
The professor held the Nc
Carthy men scoreless after the
second inning, in fact, did not
allow them but three hits after
that time. The Griffs. in the
meanwhile, jumped on Gomez for
runs in the fifth, sixth and
eighth which proved more than
enough to win as things finally
turned out.
Three hits in a row gave the
Yanks their only marker of the
game in the second inning Chap
man and Lazzeri singled to start
the fun while Dickey'S one shot
to left finished it as Crosetti,
next up, hit into a double-play
and Gomez grounded to Myer. "
Gets Out of Hole
In the fourth Gehrig doubled
and Lazzeri singled, but Weaver
got out of the hole when Chap
man flied to Harris in short
right, Dickey struck out and
Crosetti bounded to Cronin.
The Griffs' first run of the day
came in the fifth, when Schultz
walked, Kuhel sacrificed and
Bluege singled. Two more we're
counted in the sixth, when Myer
singled, Manush was safe on
Gomez's error, Harris walked. and
Kuhel singled with the bases
loaded.
Cronin's triple, following Ma
nnSh's opening single, counted the
Griffs' final tally in the eighth.
In the Yanks' end of the frame,
nager Mccarthy withdrew
Gomez for Pinch-Hitter Walker,
thereby bringing Wiley Moore to
the center of the diamond to
finish out the string.
The victory was WeaVer's sixth
of the campaign and his second
in his last two starts. For the
GriffS, it enabled them to even the
series with their rivals, also regain
the three-game margin they held
on first place when they first
! checked in at the big city"
