Last June George Foster. who annoyed
the Pills quite a bit in the last Worlds
Series, won a little extra renown for tho
House OF Foster by piasterins a no nit
shutout over the kindly Yankees. George
didn't pitch a no hit game on tho Polo
Grounds yesterday or anything that re-
scmbled one. At the ratio the Donovan
boys were rapping them. they would
have had a full score Of base knocks had
Carrigan permitted Foster TO 20 the full
distance. As II IL they had a dozen
when Holy Cross Bill yanked George In
the sixth. but before ne gave way to
Dutch Leonard the half sized pitcher
showed he was ono Of tho earnest fell
lows ever brought up In old Arkansy.
For almost six innings the Yanks
threatened to blow Fosters head of IN
minute. but he remained as cool az a
Frcnchman etorm!ng a Teuton trench.
He looked even cooler than that. In
s 20 innings the New York lads stung
him for twelve fierce outieid hits and
he passed two. yet the Tanks could en-
tract only three runs out OF all this am
munition and Foster forced one OF them
over the plate himself.
We might add that many OF the $1,000
persons who paid tribute to Jake Rup-
pert 4 Co. to watch his exhibition
grew peevish over such a waste Of re-
sources. But Il was Fosters backbone
in the pinches which put the WORLDS
Champions back on their feet. as the Red
Sox won the second game OF their
Yankee series by a score OF 8 to ..
Boston needed that game badly. ar the
Tigers rang up another win

According to Hub wal correspondents
Foster had rheumatism so bad In his
pitching wing last Wednesday that III
could not lift his arm above his head.
They said George Was getting by Oh
gameness alone.
Lee Magee and George Mogridee did
the greater part Of the damage inflicted
on Foster, as Lee punched out four hits
against the worlds series hero and Mog-
ridge banged him for three In three at
tempts. Oldring was the leading fzzle
in the pinch. In the second the Bronx
Rube fanned with ripp and Maisei OF
base in the third he tapped harmlcsIly
10 Foster with the bases full. and in the
NTH he flied out 10 Walker with pipp Oh
third. Foster famed SIX, getting poor
Joe Gedeon twice.
