BILL MURRAY MAKES
GOOD AT KEYSTONE
But Gnf Doesn't See His Col
legian IN Action.

PHILADELPHIA, June "a char.
ley horse suffered by Ray Morgan
gave a reputed college ind picked up
by Clarke Griffith a chance to break
into big league spangleS in regular
combat yesterday. Murray, formerly
Of Brown University, looked upon as
the future second-sacker of Washing
ton, made his full-game debut yester.
day and had considerable 10 do with
the victory gained by the Nationals
In the FIRST contest Of the series with
the Mackmen!
Murrsy's work was so impressive
that, chances are. he will continue 70
hold down the keystone sack assign
ment. Another collegian will make
his major league debut in this series.
He will not appear In a Washington
uniform, but will wear the colors OF
Connie Mack. He is no other than
Joe DuEan, who comes 20 the An
letics touted as the best second base
man TO come out Of college circles
since the days of Eddie Collins.
VIII Play Tomorrow.
Dugan reported to Connie Mack
yesterday, but will not break into
the game until tomorrow, when he
will get q chance to play IN one Of
the two games listed between Mack
men and Senators. Dugan has an en-
viable record in college circles. but
even Mack pArtisans figure thst he
will have TO go some TO beat the de-
but OF Murray.
The ex-Brown star played a lead
ing part in the hrst run of the game
which the Senators won by 4 to 3
when he singled TO right on the hit-
and-run play with henosky in the
fifth inning.
He hit the ball hard each and ev-
cry time OF the four occasions he
came 10 bat, being robbed Of q sec
ond hit in the sixth inning by 4
smart catch by shortstop witt. He
accepted six of the seven chances
offered him in the field. His error
was a wide throw to Judge which
barely pulled him off the FIRST bag

TO witness the great work OF his col
legian. The Old Fox is on q scouting
trip in the tall grass.
walter Had TO Work.
Walter Johnson was forced to work
hard to gain the decision. and Incl
dentaIly beat a Johnson TO get the
verdict. Sir Walter had one bad in
ming, the sixth, when three hits, a
wild throw by Leonard and a steal Of
second netted the Mackmen three
runs, which put them out in front by
3 to / After that the Speed Mer-
chant had the MAckmen at his mercy.
Among his pitching feats was the
tanning OF four Mackmen in a row.
He whitfield McInnis as the third out
in the opening ana then retired the
Mack side on strikes in order in the
second. Despite the swift pitching OF
johnson, McInnis made II Ten hits out
OF his last fourteen tirnes at bat by
baEginE three OF Sir Walter. Two
OF his blows were OF the inheld type.
Judges single in the ninth won the
combat for the Senators. He sent
