MORGAN HITS IN PINCH
BY WILLIAM PEET.

Chicago. H.. May lift you think I'm
drunk try 10 borrow 81 from me- shout
cd rummy to some of his friends in a
cafe here last night.
IF you think I'm wild try and wait
me- out" chirped Jim Shaw to the Chica-
so White Sox this afternoon.
Git-eGSc. alright pitching in the
pinches. together with timely clouts by
Ray Morgan and Danny Moeller, gave the
Nationals to o verdict over the pallid-
hosed gang this afternoon.
No young pitcher was ever forced to
show his nerve as was Shaw in the
opening game of the White Sox series.
Eddie Collins came UP to bat in the
third inning with two gone and the
bases full Shaw struck him out
Pinch Hitter Fails.
Three walks. almost in a row. popu-
lated the bags again in Chicago's fourth.
when Demmitt. pinch-hitter. was order
cd to hat. Shaw had two strikes and
three balls on Demmitt. when a feeble
srounder retired the side.
In the opening chapter Felsch led off
for Chicago with a triple. but could not
score. and in the sixth Fournier, first
up. walked and raced all the way to
third on a wild pitch. but John Collins
lined to Mcbride and on Viewers fly
TO Moeller, a lightning peg to the plate
snuffed out the Frenchman.
For the purpose of showing just how
many holes Jim Shaw dug for himself
and how gracefully he climbed out, the
foregoing paragraphs are written. The
Pittsburgh speed merchant issued half
dozen passes. but only yielded four
hits while his pals flor a wonder) scored
a couple of runs for him.
Kept Batters Guessins
Just when Shaw appeared to be sailing
around like a rudderless ship and the
enemy waiting him out. he invariably
pulled himself together and the shoe was
quickly on the other foot, with the bat
ter guessing as to what was coming off.
The White SoX used up a pair of per-
fcctly good pitchers, one run being
scored against each. Jim Scott started
but was yanked after the fourth to al
low a pinch hitter. Joe Benz finished
the game.
Benz. the Nationals could rake up only
half a dozen hits but two of them were
timely and made the Griffmen look like
a real ball club.
Moeller and Shanks both singled In the
first inning. but Milan forced Shanks at
and Gandirs fly to Felsch mace
the final out.
1t was after two were gone In wash
ingtons half of the fourth that the WIS.,
itOrs put over a run, much to the amaze
ment of the Windy City fans. Shanks
opened this inning by fouling out to
DAILY. Milan drew pass and Gandil
n gain flied to Feisch. Ray Morgan picked
out one to his liking and sent the ball
over Fournier's head in deep
left for double. Milan took a chance
and scored. due to a high throw by
Weaver. who handled the relay from
Fourier.
This one marker was enough to insure
but just to make things safe
Danny Moeller. after two were out. in
the fifth crashed to the left field bleach
ers and fairly burned up the base paths
with his speed. completing the circuit
before the ball could be returned to the
plate. 1t was the cleanest kind Of a
home run, and the crowd gave Moeller
a cheer.
OF the quartet of raps obtained OF Jim
Shaw. Felsch and John Collins divided
the honors with two apiece. George Nc
Bride played a great fielding game. while
Eddie Foster contributed a circus catch
of Eddie Collins fotii fly in the eighth
that brought the fans TO their feet.
The score:
