GR|FFS FAIL TO BAT BEHIND WEAvER'S PITCHING
Monte Boasts
Best Mound
Record

DETROIT, Mich, July 10.
Beyond the call of victory or
defeat, called by Kipling twin
imposters"; Prof. Monte Weaver
Is pitching himself to q place
among the outstanding hurlers
Of 1887, yet his record at the
end Of the year will not compare
with that Of Lefty Gomez. nor
several others whose identity will
be revealed by time. Prof. Monte
Weaver is q man whom melan-
choly marked for its own, who
was claimed in the drafts Of life
Let this lean and hungry
pedagogue step forth upon a
pitching mound and the bats of
the Griffs become as silent as
those obsolete pieces Of ordnance
in the national cemeteries.
Weaver can take care Of him.
self, but it Is fundamental in
baseball, or any other sport that
you've got to score before you
can win.
Weaver has a splendid earned
run average for the year. He
has kept the enemy down to
reasonable activities, but it, prof
its him nothing. The GriffS
can't seem to score behind him.
Go Far Afield
Worse than that, the Griffs
seem to go far afield in con-
irving to lose game. Consider
the battle yesterday between
Detroit and Washington, which
the Tigers won by q score Of 3
to /. First Almada threw
blindly, and after Weaver picked
up the Grant spheroid, he
showed the boys how wild throws
should be made. He heaved over
Rick Ferrells head, and three
runs grew out Of the twin
heaveS.
You can conjure\ a mental pic
ture Of Weaver in that game If
you have watched him in others.
His tightly drawn lips accentuat-
ed his high, thin nose. His
blanched cheeks might have con-
veyed an inference Of doubt, but
there are no doubts in Viewers
heart when he pitches into a
fray. He abides until the last
out has been made or exigencies
of the day warrant his removal
from the box. He never means
and cries in the fight. Just
pitches, and 1t is too bad that
so often he pitches in q cause
that is hopeless. His Solace yes
terday was found in the ringing
cheer of Detroit fandom as he
left the game. The Griffs lost
their eighth consecutive game,
the fourth straight on this road
trip.
Twin Disasters
There is nothing pleasant in
defeat under any conditions. but
twin disaster smote the Griffs
in Detroit. Buddy Lewis, the kid
third Sacker, came down with
intestinal influenza and will be
out of action for 10 days.
This loss is not too severe. as
it will afford a chance for "The
Old Master" to play third. OF
course you know that the Old
Master is no one in the world
but Ossie Bluege, who perhaps is
the greatest all-around infielder
in the country. Bluege will be
at the turn for home, where he
won his greatest glory.
Sharing the glory Of q lost day
was AL Simmons, who poled home
run over the left field wall for the
sole run scored by Washington.
Simmons made another hit. but
it didn't do much good. All Wash.
ington could make was half a dozen

Di Mays Homer
Is Teller S Loss;

BY LAYTON CARVER

NEW YORK, July 10. - Be-

Ruffing favored now, and doing
better all the time.
Scores Twelfth
Facing Teller on the mound for
the first time yesterday, Ruffing
scored his twelfth victory Of the
season. Teller suffered his fourth
loss in as many starts.
Joe Di Maggie supplied the diff.
ference between victory and de-
feat for the two pitchers, locked
in a IL duel until the ninth. Di
Maggie, who had hit a triple and
double and accounted for that one
Yankee run, came up in the final
frame with the sacks loaded and
for the second time this season
cleaned them with a homer. 1t
was his tWenty.fourth and kept
him out in front in both circuits.
Feller'S difficulty was lack OF
control. While he famed seven
and allowed only seven hits, he
walked eight. Ruffing allowed
eight hits and struck out only five,
but he didn't give up a single base
on balls.

Assassin, and during that time
he has learned much of Wash

sport became legalized three
years ago.
He has learned that many OF
his brother champions of Fistiana

frequently without over-exerting
themselves and otherwise leaving

LeuOis Last Case
The most recent case of a cham.
pion failing here was that Of John
Henry Lewis, who few weeks ago
performed like a preliminary boy
against Willie Reddish.
Maybe the crowd wasn't big
enough to elicit the best from the
light-heavyweight tle-holder. May
be he wasn't feeling well. May
be he was carrying Reddish. But
that makes no difference. He put
up a disgraceful show for a cham
