Chase Set to Pitch in
Unique DoubIeheoder

The Mats, who recently have &C
celerated their immediate ambition
to the comparatively lofty level OF
sixth place, which currently is only
3h games from their grasp, were
to expose their infant winning streak
to the Red Sox today in a double
header unique in Griffith Stadium
history.
With a fine disregard for his pa
irons eating habits, Clark Griffith
booked a twilight-night twin bill
with Boston for today after rain
washed out a Friday night game,
Saturday game and yesterdays
doubleheader.
The first game was to start at 80
o'clock, with the second slated to
begin at $3.50 under the lights even
should the opener be tied at that
point. Griffith was to admit the
ladies for two bits and hoped their
husbands, finding no dinner on the
table, would share their hot dog and
coke diet on his premises.
The weather has been giving
Washlngton's treasury a kicking
around. Since July 81 the Mats have
played only two games, twice beating
the Yankees, but the Mats bosses
were hoping to Offset some of that
deficit this evening, predicting a
crowd upward of $4,000.
Because Of postponements the
Mats have been forced to prolong
their home season a day. Originally
scheduled to be seen at Griffith
Stadium for the final time this year
on September 7. the Mats now have
a game booked with the Red Sox on
September s.
