New-York tribune., 1918-05-11

game in the East from New York by
the fact that Huggins's Murderers w
1t has been known ever since Amerl-'
can League baseball was played IN
Gotham that no matter how badly the
Tigers may play elsewhere they always
live right up to their nicknames IN this
mans town. 1t has also been known,
since the midget first broke into fast
company, that Donc Bush ever excels
himself before a cosmopolitan audience.
Further it has been known that Dauss
is, ever was and probably always will
be Yankee hoodoo.
OF course. George Mogridge was
about due to lose as Detroit was due
to win so it may be just as we'll that
Dauss was thrown into this first en-
gagement. There are four games re-
manning in which Huggins will have
chance to take revenge. But with a
little better break in the luck Mogridge
might have got by yesterday. He was
hit considerably harder than was Dauss
and hit at more opportune times. Still
it can be stated without bias that many
resounding Yankee offerings happened
to travel right in the direction Of
tielders.
Bush Stars Thrice
And then there was that DOME Bush.
He pulled no less than three sensa-
tional stops, each of which killed off
q run; and two more runs would have
left us nothing worse than a draw in
the nine innings. His robbery on Han
nah, first up in the eighth, doubtless
saved the game to Detroit, for even
after two were out the Yankees ham,
mered out their last. run.
Mogridge tore through the first three
Tiger batters like hot knife through
soft butter, starting on the provoking
DOME Bush and finishing on the perky
Cobb The Yankees made rumble
slightly resembling trouble in their
half Little Gilhooley led off with a
clean single to right and Peckinpaugh
sacrificed. Baker flied to right. Pratt
slammed one on the bound over Dauss's
head, but Bush cut away back on the
grass directly behind the midway for
a wonderful stop and a grand throw
from an awkward position that just
did nip Pratt as Gilhooley dashed for
the plate. The play was very close
might easily have been given the other
way, though Pratt did seem rather de-
liberate in getting down the line.
Tho Tigers jumped out to a two-run
lead in the second. Bobby Veach
smashed wicked one that caromed
safely off Pipp's glove. Heilman
man did not attempt to score on Wits
jolt to Gilhooley, but a moment later
trotted in on Young's long fly to Bodie.
in the Yankees half Bodic singled with
one gone, but died stealing after Miller
flied out.
Detroit Adds One
Detroit added run No: 3 in the third
inning. After Dauss had fouled to
Pipp, Bush drove a double to right.
He advanced on Drcssen's infield out
and tailed on Cobbs sharp single to
left. Cobb was caught stealing on the
first ball pitched to Veach, Peck max
ing wonderful one-handed catch of
high throw and a pretty dive that
tempted to hook in from behind.
Murderers' Row got busy for Hug
gins in the fourth and gave the griev-
ing Gothamites their first chance to
function Peck was called out on
strikes, but Baker slapped one into the
upper right stand as a starter. Pratt
grounded lazily to Young. Pipp, how
ever, cracked terrific fly far beyond
the grasp Of Veach, and pulled up at
third. A wild pitch registered him be-
fore Bodie rolled to the box.
Mogridge got out of tight hole in
the fifth after Peck's tumble on Yele
none out. Bush flied to Miller. and
when Dresser lined to Gilhooley the
latter's throw to Peckinpaugh doubled
Yelle off second. Miller, first up in
New York's half, was hit by pichcd
ball. But he died stealing before
Hannah singled to Witt. Mogridge and
Gilhooley failed to get the ball out of
the infield.
Cobb struck out starting the sixth,
but Bobby Veach, the next batter. put
the contest further beyond the reach
tall loop into the lower right stand
Mogridge was backed up against the
wall in the seventh. Young opened
! with q single to centre and Yelle sacri-
feed. Dauss struck out. But Mogridge
then lost control and passed both Bush
and Dresser. Cobb went after the first
pitch and Mogridge tossed him out.
Murderers' Row Tanned
Detroit combed Mogridge for three
clean hits and run in the eighth.
Veach opened with sharp line single
to right and advanced on Heilman's in
field out. Witt singled to left, scoring
Veach. and took second on the throw
in. Young singled to right, but Gil
hooley held Witt to third. Yelle popped
to Pratt, while Dauss fouled to Pipp.
From the fifth till two were out in
the eighth the Yankees were notceably
tame The Yanks managed to pick up
one in this frame, and might, indeed,
have gotten to even terms but for a
wonderful play by Bush that robbed
Hannah, the first batter, of base hit.
This was a stop near the grass away
to Donie's right followed by Won
derful throw from an awkward posi-
ton.
Hughie High, for Mogridgc, flied to
left. But with two down Gilhooley
doubled to left, and scored. on a hit
and-run play with Pitt when Wally
singled to the same garden. Baker
watched two balls float by then ground
ed to the box Bush walked starting
the ninth. Dresser sacrificed. On a
hit-and-run play Cobb bunted. Baker
gathered the pop-up and doubled Bush
at second.
That was all. Murderers' Row was
very submissive on it's last appearance.
