One by one Bill Donovan is uncov-
oring southpaws who enter the battle
with only three. hits in their winning
systems; Mogridge first throttled the
Red Sox with three safe pokes and
yesterday Nick Cullop held the White
Sox 10 a pair Of clean blows and one
raw infeld scratch. Red Faber gave
Nick quite q battle, but as good as
Faber was he was no match for the
greatest left handler that ever came
from Chilhowie, Virginia, TO the big
league.
Cullop's exhibition was nectarine
fairly popping with juice. He gave
one pass. hit one batsman and per
mitted a clean single. clean double
and rank scratch that might have been
scored either WY. The White SoN
never had an outside chance TO break
through his defence until Peck pegged
into right field on an attempted force
az second base. But for this mlsplay
the harassed visitors would have got
ten but two men 10 second and only
one TO third.
Deep Sea Curve.
In addition TO clever control, Cullop
mixed up a fast ball with a deep sea
curve that sent the White Sox back
10 the bench in droves. And while
Feber was almost as effective, he gave
two fatal passes that brought him de-
feat as each started an inning.
In addition 10 the high grade pitch
inc that featured the afternoons play,
the frolic fairly buzzed with unusual
details. In the first inning Roy Hart
zeU skated several yards upon his
nose and dug up a low drive that de
prived J. Collins Of a single. Fine
plavs by Baker, Pipp, Cullop, Collins
and Felsch also helped TO enliyen
matters.
The features extended beyond the
field into the stands. No less than
three league mandarins observed We
raudy shaw. the list including Presl-
dents Ban johnson of the American
League. John X. Tener Of the National
Jeague and Edward Barrows Of the In
ternational League. In the presence OF
these notable pOtentates Umpire Nallln
chased Marke. Mullin and MOgrdge
of the battlefield in the sixth, and
while this passage at arms was under
ay. some apoplectic bug tossed a pop
bottle at the Umpire, which exploded
on top Of the Yankee coop; meaning
the non bottle. not the umpire. Ath-
letes swarmed from the dugout to OBJ
tain the identity Of the offender, but
whether TO reward or upbraid him
could not be learned. Il seems that
Mr.. Nallin has made no great hit with
athletes or fans in this series, but for
that matter who ever heard Of an UNI
pire making hit with either ball
PLAYERS or spectators throughout a nip
and tuck encounter.
Walters on Job.
Al Walters. the Waco recruit, not
only handled Cullop in clever fashion,
but produced the first safe blow or the
day with a long triple 10 right IN the
third. After this exhibition Al famed
at his next two starts TO show ms YER
satility.
The sole White Sox tally popped out
in the fourth. With one gone Eddie
Collins walked. Fourier skied to
Maisel and Joe Jackson dumped slow
infeld tap TO short. Peck handled the
ball clearly. but in trying TO force
Collins at second tossed the ball over
Gedeon's appraised palms far into right
field
On this miscue Collins raced home
and Jackson rushed all the way TO
third. For six rounds Faber had the
Yanks stopped in their large tracks
and the outlook was beginning TO take
on an aspect of gloom. But in the
seventh Baker walked, Gedeon sacri-
feed and Wally Pipp walloped one on
line 90 right for two bases, tieing
the score.
Joe Jackson doubled IN the seventh
for the first clean hit Of the day of
Cullop, but while the Greenville gun
ner worked his way 20 third he got no
further when Chilhowie's enterprising
Knight of the Fast Drop stopped Nc
Mullen.
With the score IN a loose knot,
Maisel drew a pass to start the last Of
the ninth. Baker and GedeOn skied
out, when Fritz took final chance and
stole. Pipp was purposely passed,
bringing Peckinpaugh up and arrang-
ing a fitting climax.
But for Pecks wild throw the battle
would have been over some minutes
earlier with Culiop winning to 0. To
show that he had had no intention Of
depriving Nick Of a game so finely
pitched. Peck got back the price of his
wild toss by rapping one on line
over Eddie Collins for the winning
punch
4 Lost Opportunity.
The Yanks had previously blown a
good chance 20 score in the fourth. In
this inning Magee walked and stole.
With Maisel out, Baker tapped slow
his down the first base line. The ball
carromed of Faber's glove against John
Franklin's massive shin and bounded
several feet to tho right. As Magee
reached third Baker overran first,
where he was quickly trapped and
finally tagged out, Lee remaining at
third
With the two star left handlers that
ne has introduced, Manager Donovan
now has one Of the best pitching stats
in the game. Mogridge and Cullop
have looked 20 be sure winners ever
since they first got into condition at
Macon back in early March and
from this point on will likely be
worked In turn, as it has been shown
that good left handlers in the Ameri-
can League are more effective than
their right handed mates.
