trailing until the Mats scored a
run in the third, tying the score at

on Archie McKain, another southpaw
pitcher, and when the smoke had
cleared they had scored six runs and
the ball game was on ice Rube Wall
berg finally ended the inning and the
game for the Sox.
Monte's only bad inning, after the
nrst couple of rounds. came in the sew
enth. Here an error by Travis, single
and three bases on balls aided the
Sox in the scoring Of two runs. 1t
looked as if Monte was all washed up.
but Harris kept him in the game and
the veteran substantiated Bucky's
Judgment by bracing and finishing in
great style.
Tomorrow's four-game series in New
York with the YankS is one of those
croocial affairs for the Mats, if not
for the Rupert A. c. You won't be
seeing the Griffs until September 3,
for after leaving New York they will
invade Boston and then tour the West.
And good start is half the battle on

series with seven-hitter yesterday
and climaxed feat that hasn't been
duplicated since May. 1894. Not since
then, when the Cleveland Indians &C
complished it, has any club swept q
three-game series from the Yanks.
The breaks made it easy for the

combination. But, despite the breaks
and disregarding the possibility that
the current Yankee slump is a let

Citizens Protest Resolution
and Pass One Asking for

A resolution asking the Northeast
Conference of Citizens Associations to
request the removal of the Public
Utilities Commission by President

tests and substitute resolutions last
night.
The motion was introduced by John
p. Cahill, president of the Dahlgren
Terrace Association, who stated that
the people of the District have been
lenient long enough and the time for
direct action is at hand" He said
the Commission was not dealing fairly
with residents of the District who are
voteless and unrepresented He further
asserted that congressional investiga-
tionS are of little or no avail and
our only course is to appeal directly
to the President"
Acting Chairman Kenneth p. Arm
strong temporarily left the chair to
offer substitute resolution directing
