Griffs Gain Nothing by Beating West: Moriarty May Be Through as A. L. Umpire' WIN 1 OF 18IS, BUT D0 NOT CLIMB Still Fourth, Three Tilts‘ Back of Second as When Tussling Started. BY JONN B. KELLER.

'OUR hits, three of them doubles, got the Tigers a healthy lead. Davis began the game with a single and tallied when Gehringer lifted a double over West’s head. Weaver then got two out. but Walker doubled to score Gehringer and Rhiel followed with an- other two-bagger to make the inning total three The Nationals did their first scoring in the second session without a hit. One was out when West lofted to left Stone sauntered back et ball in his hands, only to drop it for a three-base error. West tallied as Bluege was thrown out. In the fourth the Nationals pulled up to even terms with the Tigers. Cronin_singled and took third when West hit fos a base after Kuhel skied out. West a('(mpl\d to steal second, but was turned back and trapped by Ruel's throw to Gehringer. The sec- ond baseman tried to run down West, but finally threw to Davis. Had the first baseman held the ball Sam would have been a goner. As this occurred, Cronin got to the plate, and after Bluege was hit by a pitched ball Berg's single scored West. Manush, Cronin and West with Kuhel's long fly following the first two, earned two tallies for the Na- tionals in the fifth, so the run the Tigers got from Ruel's triple and Whyatt's infield erasure in the seventh only made the game close.

UNTINGTON, N. Y., July 22.— Somewhat “steamed up” and anxiously awaiting the outcome of their threat of the first known tennis strike, competitors in the Crescent-Hamilton Club invitation tournament moved into the quarter- final round today. Fourteen of the players at the Crescent Club, including six of the elght slated to play in the quarter- final singles matches today, stirred up a tempest yesterday when they sent a telegram to Hooker Talcott of the Seabright Lawn Tennis and Cricket Club, where the big New Jersey invitation event is scheduled to start Monday, asking assurance that all players will be given the full courtesies of the club for the entire week of the tournament. The invitations they had received explained that a player’s expenses would be paid only while he re- maired in the tournament, follow- ing a policy adopted at Seabright last season, and the stars said they felt that more consideration was due to the players who made the tourna- ment a success. 1., NETHEN R BATTLING GERMANS Memory of Upset Defeat by British in "31 Tempers Yank Confidence.

It would take an act of Congress and the L‘nltedl States Treasury to pull them out. “Base ball is suffering just like all | other business. It just seems that it can't be helped. They'll get along all: right in time. Five B and C leagues already have suspended, while a lot of others, A leagues included, are caught in the general depression, and a lot of business houses are in a whole lot worse | shape than some of the weakest and | sickest minor leagues.” “What about that big surplus the| major leagues have stored up for a| rainy day? It has been suggested that | majors turn some of that money | over to the minors to tide them over | the bumps?” he was asked. “Surplus? Surplus? Now I know | you are talking foolish.” the old judge fired back. “Sometimes I don’t know who's in the craziest profession—you or | I. Goodby.” | Except for a few editorials by sports | writers, who believe that the major | leagues should come to the rescue of the fast-fading minors, no concerted move | in such direction has been discovered | so far. Brooklyn and the New York Giants caused the final fold-up of the | Eastern League, for many years one of the big money earners of the minors, by turning back their franchises, while, on the other hand, several major league clubs have helped such circuits as the Mississippi Valley, Piedmont, New York State and Middle Atlantic with none Several others stuck to the finish in the ancient Three-Eye until it was financially impossible to go on with the turnstiles getting rustier every day for lack of customers.
