granite portals of grim, grey
Union depot this morning after
fleeing Cleveland's lake front last
night, the Griffs had won 81
games and lost 81, for a per-
centage of 500 thus far during
June they have won 9 and lost
"a dead even break.
There is no immediate prospect
Of the Griffs alleviating their woes
in this city, despite the fact that
they won 7 out Of 8 previous en-
counters with the Browns.
Browns Playing Better
Hornsby apparently has worked
something akin to order out cf
the chaos that was St. Louis
Browns. While the Griffs were
breaking even this month, the
Browns won and lost 7, includ-
ing the split of a double-header
yesterday, and their smashing tri-
umph over Lefty Grove on Satur-
day.
Jimmy DeShong will seek his
ninth victory of the season here
tomorrow, rain postponing to-
days game. DeShong has lost
only three games this year, and
at the moment he is the ace of
the hurting corps. The succession
of st. Louis cannot be guessed at
this time.
Regardless of what happens to
DeShong tomorrow and if he
pitches back to his last game in
Detroit he should have little
trouble, the Griffs offer an intri-
guing study for baseball scientists.
There is sufficient hitting
strength; only the Yankees out
rank them in batting. The field
ing is not overwhelming, as judged
from the percentage tables. But
if you judge fielding from the
standpoint of errors made, you're
giving a club all the worst of it.
The fielding is good enough.
Then, of course. you must come
back to the pitching staff. Most
of the trouble is centered there.
For some reason or other, this
club loses more games after the
other team has two out than any
other team your reporter has ever
watched. The Indians made s
runs yesterday, and no fewer than
7 of them came Withe two out.
Earl Whitehill escaped into the
first inning with one run and we
settled down for a minute to enjoy
a good game. Usually Whitehill's
first inning is his worst. But Earl
is a versatile sort. He can also
have a bad second inning, and this
is what happened yesterday.
Rally Gets Going
After two hands we're away in
the second Pytlak beat out a
scratch hit and the fun was on.
Galehouse, Hughes, Knickerbocker
and Averill cuddled the ball. Chap
man was charged with two errors,
one when he fumbled Knicker-
bocker's hit by trying to throw
before he had control of the ball.
His second was when a dead line
throw to the infield hit a hum
mock and bounced over Kress'
head. 1t was not bad throw in
any sense. but Chapman had to
be charged.
Passing along to Cleveland's
fifth inning, we saw GleeSon score
with two down, and in the sixth,
with Weaver pitching, Roy Hughes
stole home as the math teacher
was thinking out some new alge-
braic formula
Although Ben Chapman was
charged with two errors, the "Ar-
row" made three hits, a double
off the deep center field fence and
two whiStling singles to left.
