S8PORTS MUST PLAY TEN GAMES IN THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS| Johnson Records Fifth Straight Win as Griffs Beat Sam Jones Second Time in Row, With Joe i Judge as Home Run Hero. BY DENMAN T time in succession and help Walter to five in a row. The fipward of 20,000 fans who witnessed the hectic, racking struggle are gleefully recounting the sensational manner nervi HE Griffmen today are in_Boston in a pretty well satisfied frame of mind as a result of the ten-inning, 4-3 triumph they registered over the Yankees yesterday to grab the long end of the three-game series here, bowl over their old arch enemy, Sam Jones, for the second ‘THOMPSON. Johnson extend his winning streak in which the victory was achieved, too, the /battle having afforded suffi- cient in the way of thrills to provide fuel for fanning bees to tide them over the week that will elapse before the Nationals again eatertain on the home lot. Babe Ruth was the principal attraction for the close to capacity throng that took advantage of almost ideal weather to visit the ball orchard. They came to boo or app! Johnson. The multitude was not disappointed in its hope for something homeric, however, as Joe Judge stole Ruth's stuff by bumping a ball over the bar- ricade to put the Griffs very much in & game that apparently was lost, and there were other features that served to spice the program a make a very delectable dish of the Sabbath set-to. Judge's feat was the occaslon for one of the most remarkable demonstrations ever witnessed at the local park. It was performed after seven runless in- nings following singles by Johnson and Rice that gave the Nationals one tally to match against the three compiled by New York. Rice was on first base when Judge collided for the clout that put the Nationals on even terms wif the champions. As the ball disap- peared from view behind the right fleld fence the spectators arose en masse. emitting a roar of exultation that could be heard for blocks. Hats were tossed aloft by owners intoxicated with en- thusiasm and seat cushions were show- ered upon the fleld as Rice jogged around the circuit, followed by Judge. Brower Scores Winaing Run. It was Brower, who until yesterday had not made a real hit in five games, supplied the punch that drove in the winning marker in the tenth. Judge having preceded him with a single to Jeft, his third hit of the contest. Josephus and Turkey didn’t get all the jimelight, however. as Johnson, Rice. Goslin and La Motte all contributed fielding bits that helped round out & eat game. "Grlfl{lhiin miscues were much in evidence early in the pastime, and as a result Johnson was in trouble. He disposed of the Yanks in the opener and got rid of Baker in the second, when Meusel singled to left and took an extra base as Goslin fumbled and then heaved wildly infield. .Meusel essayed to steal and Picinich did his part to defeat the Intent, but La Motte was spiked in tagging the runner and he was safe when the was dropped. ~ Johnson Schang was calied out on strik 10 Start the second, but Jones got lite on Peck’s miscue, reached second on & walk to Witt and took third when the latter was forced by Ward. ‘He was left as Ruth bounded high to Harrls, playing in_what might be termed short right fleld. The ationals also had some chances while the contest was yet young. Two gone in the second, Peck walked and advanced & notch on Picinich's_safety to center, being left When La Motte lofted to Ruth. John- son started the third with a terrific liner that struck Jones in the midriff and bounded foul. Walter reaching first. Harris and Rice both lifted to Witt, but Judge singled to right, put- ting Johnson on second. Brower was credited with a safety on a slow roller to Scott, but when the latter tossed to Baker Johnson was run down between bases, having foolishly overrun third. Goslin was franked to open the fourth, but Peck popped to Jones in trying to bunt and Picinich’s rap to the box resulted in a double play. Yanks Register in Fifth. Tt was in the fifth that the Yankees ‘broke through, registering twice. One away, Schang singled to right took second on a passed ball by Picinich and scored on Jones’ safety to left. Goslin's throw was accurate and strong, but he lost many valuable seconds getting the ball away from him. Jones scored all the way from first when Witt sent a looper close to the foul line in left. Goelin made two stabs at_the ball-before he-picked it up, but his throw was relayed to La Motte by Peck in time to flag Witt sliding into the far corner. After both Ruth and_ Baker had been taken care of by Judge in the sixth, Meusel walloped to the score- board and_ got a close decision at relay trom Rice to La Motte. He was stranded when Rice raced back deep into center .to take Pipp's clout. A cheap tally accrued to the Yanks!

Ruth's terrific lunge resulted in a little swinging bunt that Johnson caught up with and tossed to Judge, while sprawling, in time to flag his eminence, but Witt tallled on the play. Judge Sets Of Fireworks. The fag end of this frame witnessed the detonation of the supercharged fireworks, Judge setting them off. After the fourth the only Griff to reach the paths was Goslin, who poled a double to center to inaugurate round 7, and he. was permitted to lan- guish at the midway by Peck, Picin- ich and La Motte. Johnson himself started the eighth inning rally with a sissling safety to center. He took second as Ward retired Harris, and tallied on Rice’ rasping single through the box. This was the spot selected by Judge to send the ball salling over the clock on the right- fleld fence, sending Rice over and trotting around ‘the circuit as the frenzied spectators vented their en- thusiasm with the Tun that knotted the count. Brower failed to enter into the spirit of things at this junc- ture and- whiffed. Goslin came along with a stinging bingle to right, and topped it off with a clean steal of second, the rally ending when Witt sprinted over and blc{ for Peck's long drive. Meusel threw a scare into the throng when he opened the ninth with a double down the left fleld line. He was killed off in spectacular fon when Johnson flelded Pipp' - tended sacrifice and ferried to La Motte, who got back to the far corner just in time to tag Meusel.

Credit is due Leon Goslin for being & nervy ocuss. Few players would care to take the risk he ran in gallop- ing to within a few feet of the left flel ilion for Scott's long foul in the seventh. Jokmsen and La Motte teamed up In clever fashion to efface Meusel at third in round nine. Both started for Pipp's bunt, but La Motte dashed back to his sack, grabbing Walter's throw on the way and diving to tag Meusel. La Motte had three other tagging plays at the far corner. was charged with an error when he dropped the ball on being spiked in the second, but resumed playing af- ter getting first-aid treatment. Pipp gave Rice a long chase for his drive in the sixth. Sam judged the ball perfectly and his catch in deep center prevented an alien rum, for Meusel was roosting on third.

All but three of his home runs have been made in the local ball park. Hornsby has shown no preference in placing his drives for home runs, while Willlams has made most of his circuit drives into the right fleld bleachers. Pittsburgh pitchers, Hornsby's rec- ord shows, have proven easy marks for the local batting star. Six of his homers have been made off Pittsburgh hurlers, namely, three off Cooper, & left-hander, and one each off Glazener, Carlson and Zinn.
