GRANNAN Somerville High won a closely contested Suburban league victory over Medford High, 4 to 3, on the Somerville Athletic Field yesterday afternoon, in a battle featured by the pitching of Tom McGrath and the timely batting of Ned Keating and Peckham. McGrath was the big noise in lineup, as he held the Medford batters in the palm of his hand up to the ninth, and then wiggled out of a tight hole through his own good twirling. KEATING THERE, TOO Medford was the favorite before the game, and that the visitors did not come through was. In a large measure, due to the effective brand of pitching that the Blight Somerville youngster served up. He used his head at alf times In pitching to the Medford batters, fanning seven men and caxising seven of them to bat out easy grounders to him for out.s at first base.

Ned Keating, the auburn thatched backstop of the Somerville nine, ran a close second to his battery mate for the honors of the afternoon, as his single to left scored the first run for his team, and his double to left on his following trip to the plate was responsible for another run. Right after this he made a fine elide hito third base and then scored on single to centre. Keating was also a great bulwark behind the plate and helped McGrath out of several tight holes by his heady coaching. greatest hopes of a victory came in the flr.st half of the ninth, when they filled the bases with one out and line single to left scored two men and left a man on second and third. then arose to the occasion by fanning Terrill and forcing Ballou to drii)ble a dinky grounder to the pitcher's box, which McGrath shot to first in time to retire the side.

Stabs Liner With Gloved Hand the game in the ninth. Smith, the first batter up, was hit by a pitched ball. Swenson smashed out a single to left and hard grounder to Downey was turned into a force play at second on Swenson. Peckham was passed and with the ha.ses full and one out Sandford singled to left centre, driving Smith and Early acro.ss the plate and making second himself on the heax'e to the platter. McGrath then put all he had on the ball and struck out Terrill and forced W.

Ballou to dump a slow roller to him on which he threw to Kelley, retiring the side for the final out of the game. The score: SOMERVILI.H II. nir.po..\.E. 1 0 2 Keliey.lb., 2 14 Downey.sH.. 0 2 11 Keatiiig.c..

2h. I At- 80 1 COBB DOUBLES AND WINS GAME Tigers Beat Cleveland in 11 Innings 5 to 4 BY PAUL H. SHANNON WASHINGTON, April Johnson got sweet revenge today for the merciless drubbing the Red Sox handed him less than a fortnight ago in Boston. Tor, he handed to the champions their second shut-out of the season, and alloAved but one of the visitors to get as far as third base while the Senators were piling up their four runs. Deacon and Downey also pulled off a pair of thrilling plays which helped McGrath.

Deacon stabbed a line drive hot from bat with hi.s gloved hand by a jumping catch in the poventh inning, while Downey followed this play after Smith had been passed by scooping steairilng grounder in back of Becond, touching the bag and snapping the pill to Kelley for the completion of a nice double play. McGrath and Rw'enson pitched airtight ball for three innings, with but one hit being driven out off each. However, Somerville got in the first run in the fourth. Bhea was pas.sed and tlnni forced by Kelley. Kelley in turn was forced by Downey, and with Keating and two," he started on the pitch.

Keating lit onto the ball for a long two-bagger to left, on which Downey scored, while Keating reached third by a fine after the throw to the plate had been shot back to Ballou. In the following Inning Medford two men on with two out, but failed to score as Shea made a good stop and throw of J. Ballou's grounder which re tired the side. Peckham got his ftr.3t hit, a single to left, and stole Kelley dropped throw of W. grounder, Peckham going around to third.

W. Ballou then stole second, hut J. hard grass cutter to Shea was tossed to first for the third out. Get Three by Hitting Somerville got three more runs in tV, sixth through some good consecutive haniP.ff-. Shea, the first man up.

singled to right field and stole second. Kelley and Dowmey then struck out, Swenson pitching well to both men. However, he had Keating to contend with, and the latter drove out a line single to left on which Shea scored. Keating taking second on the throw In, Deacon then sent his catcher home with a drive to centre field, and also made eecond on the throw to the plate. Kelleher followed Deacon by sloughing the pill on the nose for a double over head in centre field, which scored Deacon.

The drive would have been good for a home run on a dry field. However, he overran Becond and as tagged out by Smltln Medford made a vain effort to tie the score in the eighth Inning, hut was able to negotiate but one run, that being scored as the result of an error. The bases were filled on singles by Early and Peckham and error on easy grounder. Terrill struck out and Early was out at the plate on W. grass cutter to Shea.

Shea then made his second cr ror of the Inning on an easy chance by J. Ballou, Peckham scoring on slIp-up. However, Shea made good on drive and the side was retired. Nearly It Up nlna iU bid iot DETROIT, April double in the 11th Inning, after Vitt had singled and liad advanced to second on sacrifice, gave Detroit a thrilling 5 to 4 victory over Cleveland, here today. The Tigers, two runs behind when they came to bat in the ninth, successfully staged one of their batting rallies.

Singles by Young, Crawford and Col)b tied the score. The game sparkled with fine fielding.

Wild Rassed tmil and Chill. Ttuie 30U1. Extra Matinee On account of the great demand for the special performances of "Peter one more niHtinee will he given liy Miss Adiiins during tlie coining week. So great has lieen tlie dernund to witness tills funtaHy that Miss Adams has consented to give one more matinee of child play next TiuirBday and the sale Is lively that it is evident tliat the ut- teudance will be just like lUe oUiers. IN TOP NOTCH FORM Johnson was in top-notch form thi.s afternoon and before the first three innings had piled away the unhappy Red Sox realized Sliowing a speed that was utterly lacking during his last appearance at Fenway I ark he varied this fast btill with a curve that made Bill Carrigan's henchmen at times look ab.solutcly foolish.

Four hit.s is all the Boston team made dur- I ing the whole nine innings, and two of the.se wore scratches. in single game has a pltcli er used the curves that did today. Aware of the Bo.ston liking for pitching used his fast one only Just often enougli to up the batter and increase tlie wildness of his swings. Men like Hen- liksen and licwis, who can kill fast pitching, got absolutely nothing but to shoot at. The curve came 4 ist often enough to take the unawares.

It is little wonder then that TTenrlk- sen fanned twice; that Hooper, and Pinch Hitter Bal.e Ruth were in eluded among his strikeout victims. For the first three rounds not a single one of the was to icach fir.st In live of tlie frames tlie Sox went down in order. In seven of the innings but 21 of them W'ent to bat, but one man got to third and only one to second, and It took a bad error to make this possililc. It is no exaggeration to say that Johnson had the Boston team eating out if his hand, it was surely day. Little George Foster pitched ball that would have been good enough to win against any ordinary pitching.

For the first six innings the Senators got but thi-ee widely scattered hits off him. During this time he had been Saved damage on one occasion through Lewi.s’ remarkaiile catch of what should rightfully have been a clean home run drive. This was in the fifth, but the sixth saw him just as effective as ever. Foster Wobbles Toward Finish Had the Sox been able to give Foster even one run to work upon it is po.s- slhle that the Senators might have been wearing that coat of whitewash tonight and Johnson again a victim to the Boston team. But as inning after inning progressed, adding even to effectiveness, Foster srnre- have gotten discouraged.

At any rate I he wobiiled toward the last, when Ihii locals began to get to him with effect. Yet Foster can attribute his defeat principally to the costly base on balls. Three of the.se in earlier innings had proven harmlc.ss on account of faultless fielding by his team. But it was a pass to the first man up that led the train for his downfall in the seventh. Two hits followed, sending In two runs, and a collection of three safe hits let the Henators double the tally In the eighth.

The day was nearly Ideal for baseball playing, hut the clouds that threatened at noon kept the attendance down to about r-fliX). The Red Sox hit Johnson hard at tlie start, hut tlie Senators were on their toes and none of the Ilubltes reaciied first. But three of the rs went to bat in the siime frame. in the order tlie Sox were retired in the second. safe hit to right opened this session for the Senators, and after two were down Morgan drew a pass.

But second base was forbidden territory. 11 was tlueo men iap and down for Boston in the third again. Five of the nine men to bat had gone out on fly balls, for tlie Sox were swinging late and just failing to connect with Johnson's terrific speed. Shanks hit safely after two were out in turn, but the clout did the Senators no good. In the fourth, after Henriksen had f.anned, Janvrin drojiped a sale one in right.

It w'as first hit. but he died stealing, and Hooper was an easy victim. Foster made trouble for himself here by issuing a pass to Milan, the llr.st man to bat, but for tlie second time Thomas came to his partner rescue with a beautiful throw and killed the attempted steal. Duffy lAiwis contributed a wonderful fielding feat in the fifth. Morgan scratch hit put the latter on base to this round for the Senators and ho WHS at the second station witli two out wlien Walter Joliii.son himself came to He got Foster in the hole for three halls and then liard on the next one that the Boston twirler tried to sneak over.

It was a terrific wallop, but I.ewis took it while on the dead run, and on liis way to the centre field fence after corralling the sphere, he fell and rolled over and over, while the fans clieered the wonderful play to eclio. Tlie catch robbed Johnson of a home run and shut off two sure tallies for the single past third proved of no Hceouiit in the sixth. There were two down for on in tliis round before Milan drew second pass of the game, but Hooia got foul fly down In extreme right field and saved po.sslhle liother. A fumble by Morgan put Janvrin on base in the seventh with one man out. Hooper had popped up, a by Hoblifzel put Janvrin on third.

A sharp peg to third by Aiiismith caugbt off the liag and retired the aide althougli tlie Boston team protested this decision bitterly. Senators Start Scoring For the fourth time in the contest thw locals got the first man to bat on base in this frame through a base on balls to Judge. It was a Costly pass as tlie weak hitting A insmith came up after Morgan had sacrificed and bounced a safe one over second. The throw home came too late to atop the runner, scoring. The ball hit Judge and Ainsmlth continued on to third.

single drove him over. This was all, yet it proved enough to spill the beans. The Henators got two men on the through singles by Milan and Rondeau in the eighth. Then after two were down Morgan hit safely and sent both scores in. The Boston relief corps warming up in right field ceased operations after thta extra brace of tallle.s.

Pinch hitters had little effect on Johnson in the ninth and the Sox had to resign themselves to the inevitable The Kirschbaum Vanitie This celebrated creation of the Kirschbaum designing staff has been aptly characterized as business proposition with a goodly strain of sporting blood thrown And in these Spring days, when a activities are divided in the right proportion between his desk and the links it is strictly en is French for the Made with regular, cutaway front with five pinched pleats in the back held down by a belt stitched across so as to emphasize the high waist line, and infused throughout with those touches of good tailoring and finish lor which Kirschbaum clothes are famed.
