times In four trips to the plate at the
Polo Grounds yesterday afternoon.
When a slugger Of his recognized
capabilities failed so dismally, II is OF
slight wonder that the rest OF the
Windy City athletes were as pygmies
In the hands OF George Mogridge, and
getting two scratch hits, were defeated
in the final game of the series with
the Yankees. The score was to D.
The performance Of Mogridge be
spoke the master. He allowed only two
hits. and they were flukes. In the fifth
inning Buck Weaver rolled one down
10 Peckinpaugh, which took q crazy
hon of the shortstop's shins and
bounced into left field for single.
A Crazy Throw.
That was the hrst semeisnee Of Q
safety that be Sox made from the left
handed mysteries Of Mogridge that
xIpped up TO and over the plate In won
derful style. In the eighth Inning Nc
Mullen tapped twister to the box that
could not be felted in time. Mogridge
saw fit 70 make crazy throw OF this
roller, and McMullen went to second.
That was the extent OF ChicsSo's at
tack. -.
During the entire game, just two Chi
cago men penetrated the lines as lar
as the midway. and Buck Weaver alone
got so far as third. In the second
frame Fournier was out at first on a
groun8er to the box, and Joe Jackson
drew pass. Weaver forced Shoeless
Joe at second, making two out. Buck
broke away to steal second, and Nc
Mullen hooked one down TO Pipp. he
was safe when Mogridge dropped the
Arst bssemen's throw, and Weaver ran
all the way TO third.
Had the crowd realized that this WAS
the only time that pale hosed warrior
would reach the far turn in the course
OF the game, there might have been
cheers. But there were none. Shortly
thereafter Weaver died at the plate on
an attempted double steal.
But the big southpaw did not nnlsh
the game he began so we'll. he devel-
oped a sore muscle at the elpow OF ms
nitching arm and was forced TO retire.
Rob Shswkey relieved him and brought
the game 10 a bang-up close. 1t was
said last night that the injury TO MO
cridpe's arm was not serious, and that
he would be back in the game shortly.
He gave q couple of bases on balls, but
struck out seven men.
While Mogridge was holding the fort
81 admirably, Danforth, the left-hander
who saw service with the Philadelphia
Athletics once, tried vainly TO guard
The plate for the White Sox. His offer
ings were hit hard, but for one reason OF
another only two runs were MADE OF
the eight safeties the Yankees tore
from him.
Three Hits In First.
Three hits were punched In the first
frame, but only one run resulted, ana
three more were grouped In the 1ourtn
Co. snother run. Had Danforth been
Ieft ON the mound. there Is no telling
inst where the stirring events might
have stoned. but Tex Russll was called
into the game, and he soon put an end
TO hilsrity. -,
The game was strangely devoid OF
thrills. Baker did make leaping eaten
Of a liner by Jack Collins which cut on
a possiblc two-bese hit, and Roy Hart
zefl. the veteran of the Yanks, made
circus catch of Ray Schals's sllclng
drive TO right field. Hartzell ran in for
the ball, but in taking it fell and turned
over twice. Roy overlooked trlek' NO
one would have cared If he had taken
three turns. which are allowed IN any
man country Al CIT! N'' O'
the ball.
Down in Waco this spring Ellis Hardy
declared that if AL Walters failed TO
deliver for the Yankees he would never
boost the stock Of another youngster.
Walters is more than making good all
the nice things that we're said OF him.
lie is only a youngster, and is slight in
physioue, but he is refuting the conten-
ton that catchers must be big men. He
cot two hits yesterday afternoon In
three times at the bat, and caught
clever game. He got ten put-outs, and
broke up the only steal attempted. He
certainly looks like a real ball player.
The New York outfielders had next to
nothing to do. II was not to be ex.
pected. with Mogridge serving a brand
Of forked lightning that simply could
not be hit. Fritz Maisel got two put
outs and Roy Hartzell got two more.
Joe Gedeon made high throw on
simple chance, thus giving life to
Jack Collins in the ninth inning, but
nothing came OF IL.
HartzeIrs SizZler.
Hartzell began the game by shooting
a sizzler at the legs Of Jacques Four
nier, which that noble athlete let go By
him. Lee Magee hit one a mile or more

there when it dropped. That drive
alone was enough to prove that there
are a lot of mean men In baseball.
Hartzell took third when Msisel came
through on the hit and run with a sin
gle into left field, and Baker managed
10 beat out an inheld hit, scoring
Hartzell.
The stage was set for big inning in
the fourth. Wsllie Pipp stepped up and
hit one far over the dome of thought of
one Happy Felsch that went for three
bases. Only the remarkable speed with
which the Sox outfelders backed up
prevented this from going for circuit
Clout.
Roger Peckinpsugh tried for hit,
but Jack Collins caught his long fly 70
left. Pipp scored easily. Walters and
Mogridgc singled in succession then
and the crowd howled the blood cry.
Clarence Rowland declared himself
sgin the measure and he sent Tex Rus
sell into the box. Russell ruled with
his good left arm and all scoring for
the Yankees was abandoned as i'm
