minutes of that grand American

But for the far-sightedness of the
American League that made a rule
prohibiting the start of an inning
after 1880 am. some of those hardy
souls might still be at the ball park.
For the Mats and Boston's Red
Sox, exhausted by the torrid tenn
perature and effort expended in a
first game that went through IA
innings with the Boston band win

anywhere in the second set-to that
went through 13 innings to A
deadlock.
Those were brave hearts who re-
fused to leave before the final out
at 1:02 this morning of a double

it doesn't seem likely there are
many who will endure further per-

Orleans, won an eight-round tech
nical knockout over Sammy Par
rotto, 131, Pittsburgh, in the main
eight-round bout of a card featured
by an impromptu slugfest.
Docusen proved a little too much
for the hard-fighting, stocky little
PittSburgher and had him bleeding
when Referee Tuck Fraley stopped
the fight few seconds before the
final bell
However, the feature of the eve
ming came just after the close Of the

Referee Eddie Coulon, top-rated
bantamweight 20 years old, called
the bout a draw. George Winn,
Rotolos manager, leaped through
the ropes and charged Coulon. The
two tangled in the ring a few

Arlington Lions Horse
Show Looms as Best
Of Season So Far
BY LARRY LAWRENCE.

In quantity and quality the entry
for the Arlington Lions Club horse
show, which opens at o'clock tomor-

ises to be superior to any equine
exhibition held in the Capital area
so far this season.
Vieing for the championship in
the jumper division are the out
standing leaperS of this sector, ard
there are no better in the country.
Entered in the four sporty jumper
classes are such performers as Mrs.
Fred j. Hughes, jr.'s, Hi Ho, Maj.
and Mrs. Alvin I. Kay's Smacko,
Jackie Warren's Yankee Doodle ard
Gardner and Mrs. Hallman's Apple

headliners are score or more
horses which hold their own with
the best, notably Flint Hill FARMS
Caddie's Trump, AL Earnests Dickey
Boy, Ballantrae Stables Ballantrae
Boy and Irish Lad, Mrs. William
Hurst's Graylark, Bobby Lees
Bonne File, Roger Groves Dandy
and Big Oak Farms Balbo.
Competition In the saddle class
division will be of the keenest va
riety. Senator Wayne Morris will
be showing his champion stallion.
Spice Of Life, and the Oregon Sem
ator's daughters, Nancy and Judith,
have entered another ribbon winner,
Oregona of Bourbon. Other cham
pions in the gated classes are War;
ner Pumphreys Primrose Princess.

Pony classes are well filled, headed
by Bobby Polk's grand little midget
horse, Cricket, and Betty Robert
sons Betsy, which took top honors

As Griffs, Bosox Go 6I2 Hours

this. his first campaign as a big
league pitcher. For they had given
Ferriss sound pounding-in fact,
they hit his delivery with vigor
throughout the three hours and 25
minutes Of the engagement. And
they had the second set-to sewed
up until the last regulation round.
But each time the Washington
pitching went wrong. The Mats
collected q dozen hits in the open
ing encounter, four by Joe Kuhel,
and punched three singles md a
pair of triples off Ferriss in the
fifth inning for four runs to make
their total five But Marino Pieretti,
who had been going great guns,
blew up in the seventh with a bang
that must have rocked the night
workers as far away as the Navy
Yard.
Marino had yielded a single and
had two out when he found the
plate on swings. He just couldn't
get the ball across and walked three
In row to force in the first Boston
run. To the hill went AL Carras-
quel and the bang was even louder.
Bob johnson banged a double to
send in three more runs and John
Lazor banged another double to
tie the score.
From then on it was a duel be-
tween Roger Wolff and Ferriss with
Ferriss allowing just three hits the
remainder of the way-although he
needed double-plays back of him
in the ninth, tenth and eleventh to
get him off dizzy spots-and Wolff
pegglng away manfully until the
14th.
Pass by Wolff Costly.
Then it was wild pitching that
cost the Mats the game. With two
gone. Wolff walked George Met
kovich and that was VOLTS big
mistake. That tough Johnson
Lazor combination came on again.
Two singles, and the Red Sox were
winners.
1t was Johnny Niggeling who did
the route pitching in the second
game which went through two hours
and AZ minutes. The Red Sox used
three hurlers. Mike Ryba, who
matches Niggeling's 40 years. went
through eight rounds. lefthanded
Vic johnson went two-thirds of the
way In the ninth, then Red Barrett
finished.
Nine hits were made off Niope,;no
and the Mats got II off the Boston
trio. Niggeling also struck out an
even dozen batters, but while only
four hits were made of him in the
first eight innings-one of those
Eddie Lakes drive into the leftfelo
stand for his second homer of the
season-three were bupched in the
ninth when the Red Sox scored
twice to deadlock the game.
After that, there simply was the
dreary drag to curfew.
