Griff Hurlers Need Warm Plays Here LOOKING 'EM OVER BY LOUIS A. DOUGHER Griffs Need Warm Weather Will somebody please turn off the rain sad turn on the heat? anybody over at the Weather Bureau has a deadhead skull, it's up tc Eddie Eynon to cancel it instanter. The Atmospherical sharps are not playing fair with our Nell. Clarit Griffith's pitchers need warm weather. They need steady work.

Theve have not had a really good pitching weather since the season started. They have had altogether much time for loafing and inviting their souls, though they probably don't know much about this last. Unless some of that typical Washington weather, the close, sticky kind, comes along pretty Boon, PrexV Griffith will be hard put to it to hang on to his place among the first four. Opening the campaign with pretty fair prospects, the Griffs ran right Into cold and postponements. Arctic winds and two cancellations wu the tale in Boston.

Dampness and one postponement came in Philadelphia. Four straight here and then the Griffs lilt more cold and two postponements In New York. Coming home, where they should have been given decent treatment by ihosc ginks in the aforesaid Weather Bureau, what did they get? Nothing but cold weather, Anally winding up with rain and two days of loafing Sitting in the pest box has been a martyrdom to llkkerless scribes tor a couplc of weeks. ittaC Uwa Pieces. Jt was apparent in yesterday's private game at Gttorgia avenue that the Griffs' hurling corps had differed l'rom recent inaction.

Jezebel Zuchary, who has been most dependable all spring, looked like a bushor. Old Dr. Cox never looked Then came Olaf Erickson. He was Olaf when he strode to the mound, lie was Oil Laugh within two The Tigers feasted upon the stuff served them by Messrs. Zachary and Erickson.

A couple of bingles, with Ed Gharrity's error on a thrown ball to the plate gave the Tigers a run in the second. Two resounding doubles and a walk counted them two in the fourth. Exit Mr. Zachary. Enter Mr.

Erickson. Olaf Bftcafi Oh Lngk. Olaf walked a man and hit another, but escaped harm in the fifth. His ludicrous lack of control was billed for the sixth, when he allowed one hit and then issued three large free tickets- Exit Mr. Erickson.

Enter -M Johnson came la with the bags loaded, but Ty Cobb quickly cleared them with a poke to center, upon which Chop Sticks Rice erred egregiously. Five runs were over and the Tigers led. 8 to nert Glatsfer, a Tiger rookie, permitted three runs In the first on four passes and a double by Harris. He settled down till the fifth, when three more rolled across on four hits and a walk. Oint la tmalk.

Red Oldham had done well enough in the sixth, but in the seventh he received more bumps, giving way to Hooky Dauss. Roth opened with a walk, his third for the chill afternoon. Harris fanned. Ellerbe beat out one to Jones, to be forced by Shannon. Trying for a double play.

Young tossed wildly anfl Roth was over. Gharrity walked, but Johnson's clean swat to center scored Shannon with the tying rnn. Nothing happened to break the tie till the ninth. Then it happened like this: Ellerbe, Shannon and Johnson all singled to left, crowding the corners, when Joe Judge came up. Joe merely propelled the pill out over Ty Cobb's head.

Ellerbe was in with the docidlng run, giving the Griffs a victory, 0 to 8. With a small crowd shivering here and there In the capacious stands, biting breer.es sweeping across the field, slow running and rotten pitching, the afternoon was not exactly a howling success. However, the victory of the home team In the ninth sent tlie fans away happy. They'll all be out again today. The St.

Louis Browns are due to show their class at the yard today. The Browns are usually the bright particular pests of the Grlffmen. Wonder what they'll do here this trip. YANKEES NOW SEEKING PARK FOR NEXT YEAR NEW YORK. May owners the New York Yankees are casting about for a site for a new home for the local American Leaguers today.

The New York National league baseball club has notified Colonels Rupprrt and Huston that the Polo Grounds will be usod exclusively by the Giants after this year. Colonel Ruppert Indicated today that the action of the Giants was a startling sur prise, inasmuch as the Yankee owners claim to have had a verbal understanding to the effect that a longterm lease on the Brush stadium would be granted them. This understanding, however, was with Harry Hempstead. formerly president of the Giants. The Yankees have been paying a year for tbs privilege of playing on the Polo Grounds.

It Is understood that Colonel Rnppert has options on several sites and expects to make preparations at once for the purchase of the best site available and start building operations within the next few months. YALE IS FAVORED. PRINCETON. N. May Princeton and Cornell crews were scheduled to meet here today In a thpee-cornered regatta on Lake Carnegie.

Thoner happened to sec Clark Griffith and Tommy Connolly enjoying themselves. Just as they seemed about to fly at each other's throat Thoner snapped his camera and got this.

He didn't stop Mike, but he was so far ahead at the end of the twelfth round that the Boston referee Just had to raise his hand and make him champ. I Of course, Mike will make a yelp. All champs do after their title is gone. O'Dowd did fairly well as a chum- pion.

He gave nearly every title hunter a chance, and handed most of them prety (rood Wilson is in line to clean up himself now.

There are a whole lot of questions that still have to be settled. There's the nagging H. C. L. problem, the "overall" movement, the coming Presidential nomination struggle, and a lot more in this life, the sandlot leagues seem to have settled their little difficulties in the matter of choosing umpires.

It's a grand life, men, this umpiring for amateur leagues. It is not all it is cracked up to be. The men who are going to struggle through the "dog days" all this torrid summer are more to be pitied than censored. And while this might be "entitittitled," an Henry Lewis would say, "Who's Who" in sand lot umpires, there are several well-known figures of other baseball Pretty nearly everybody around Washington knows "Shorty" Hughes. Hughes is doing bang-up work for the N'avy Yard League.

"Shorty" keeps the boys on the run and makes all games snappy. That's what Navy Yarders like, so "Shorty" is speeding them along. In the Hankers' League Tom Crooke handles the magnates as John D. would a county bank director. They all look alike to Tom when it comes to calling 'em out or safe.

Crooke wore a Washington uniform onco and then went up to the Tri-State League. The Potomac League was fortunate enough to grab Harry Colliflower to umpire the games there. Colliflower is also another old major leaguer, and he, too, once wore a Washington uniform. Dick Woodward. former minor leaguer arid well known here several years ago as a high school crack, is glimpsing the balls and strikes behind the windy pad in the Government League.

"Doc" Battersby, athletic director at Business High, goes down to the Monument lot evenings after he gets through training the Stenographers to win a high school title, and calls 'em out for the Departmental leaguers. The War Interbureau League has selected George Long, well-known former baseball player, who has umpired around town for several years. Out at the Union Station Johnny Hurd. former sand lot pitcher, is telling them out to the Terminal Railroad League fans. The TreasuiV circuit is finding Harry Bratburd on the job with the indicator.

And ho it goes every day on the sand lots here. Here's a little dope. Thrra are seven organized baseball leagm now playing in the city. Korty-two teams are listed and each team is carrying eighteen players which makes 750 players in all for the sandlotters. Of the youngsters playing independently there are more than one hundred teams.

Challenges are flying thicker and faster than the recent showers. Washington suffers right now from a lack of adequate playing fields. Potomac Park is crowded to rapacity after 3:30 In the afternoon. Tor the kids the old corner lot baseball games are almost a thing of the past. "Pop" Cook, president of the Departmental League, is always on the Job.

Cook heads the oldest organization of amateur baseball in the city. The Departmental circuit with one or two years of delinquency has gone along over a twenty year stretch. The Potomac League expects to he pushing ahead shortly. From indications several teams are unusually strong. An effort will be made to boost the weaker clubs in order to Rret better competition.

Several seasons ago the Potomac league graduated many high class baseball players who have been In the minor leagues ever since. Here It Is There may be nothing now the sun, but imitations often surpass the original. Here's How Leaders Stand Today. TEAMS. Palace 1,691 1.011 S.

On yesterday's performance Kumagae and Doyle appear to be the class of the flvo entrants. The Japanese expert is expected to win out over Doyle. The last minute entrance of Doyle in llio tournament added the class neccssary to make the tournament attractive. Although the Columbia man has played little or no tennis this year he is making up for the deflection of Tilden, Beekman, Pell and Gfarland, who were expected to appear. HARPER AND CICOTTE END PITCHING STREAKS Two American league hurlers concluded long pitching streaks during the past week, Kd Cicotte and Harry Harper.

Cicotte had won ten games In a row, when the Indians threw a defeat Into Kddie on May 0. The White Sox ace closed last year with a string of eight consecutives victories and had won his first two stars the present season. Cicotte's last defeat occurred on August 14 last. Since then he. beat the Tigers three times, the Hod Sox and Indians two apiece and once eicli, Yankees, Senators and Browns.

In contrast to Cicotte. Harry Harper finished his career with the Senators by losing his last seven games, his recent win over the Athletics being his tlrst taste of victory since the tirst of August last, when Harry trimmed the Indians. In his losing streak Harper lost two games to the Tigers and a game a piece to the Yanks, Bed and White Sox. Browns and Athletics. STANDINGS AMERICAN LEAGUE.

Before the flingers get down to business, Doc rlaaU them to a fare-thee-welL Ho amasses a batting total that enables khn to coast through the last half of the year and finish around the JM mark. Last year he led the league for many weeks and ended a .306 average.
