The Washington herald., 1920-10-04

Eight thousand or more fans
turned out to see Mr.. Grifhth's
flock Of new recruits perform, and
they were in a jovial mood. Mr..
Griffith shot his youngsters IN and
yanked them out so fast that even
the official announcer, with the fog
= horn voice, became befuddlcd. Sew
enteen Grifrmen participated in the
81 engagement, including three pitch
ers, three third sackers, and a brace
of shortstops, second sackers and
catchers.
=, Mack Shy of Reserves.
: While Griff was using everybody
. he had in stock, Cornelius McGilli-
cuddy used only nine. II by chance
the umpires had expelled any of
his hirelings, the lean manager Of
the Mackmen would have been
forced to play with an abbreviated
lineup or borrow a player or two
from the Mats. The fact is that he
was only able to corral nine men
who would consent to make the
trip. and had TO pay a couple Of
. them a two-bit bonus before they
would board the train. All the rest
said they had enough for one sea-
-sOr. and went \. w. o. L. in Philly.
Tet the nine Macks got an S-to-G
decision over seventeen Nationals
though they were outbatted at a
.Tatio OF moro than two to one. But
that's a minor detail. Mr.. Grifith's s
seOlection Of phenOms from the
bushes were the real center of in
sterest-
- Bob Shirley, the HagerstOwn youth;
sClarence Fisher and Gustavo de
.-EsOno were the slabbers who exhibit
asd their wares. Shirley is a tall
<risht-haadsr who looked pretty
good If you don't count the runs
made against him. This Fisher
party is a second Carl Mays. He
pitches uuderhand and everything.
The only difference between him and
the Yankee star is that Mays doesn't
usually walk as many people as
ClLreRce did yesterday.
Fisher Couldn't Figure 1t.
Fishers method or procedure was
interesting. After delivering a wide
one with much care and deliberatiOn
he would gaze expectantly at the
sta IDS as If asking for Judgment"
r. IN he would slowly shake his
head IS If to say What's the mat
t-r with 'the fool ball? That amt
the way I pitched down in Elat-
b. sh."
He never discovered what the
trouble was so Grin trotted out
Roro. The gentleman with the non
alcoholic beverage name.
fTu NAV hava in
LIS name, but he had the stuff on
the ball. Hooking them over in
such . manner that Picinich had a
hard time holding the pill, he re-
fused to allow a run during his four
rounds in office
O'ROurke and Prothro took care
Of short, while HOllOhan, LaMotte
and Elerbe pastimed at third. Re
HeV.ug Harris at second was Allie
Watts, 1 local youth. who distin-
sIished himself with cracking out
double in the eighth that almost
ted tn score.
GridirOn Befuddles Em.
At times the spectators and play
erS forgot whether it was a foot
ball or baseball game, as the field
was covered with the cross lines
laid down for the Georgetown game
Of Saturday. When Judge picked 4
triple over the goal line in deep
center, Billy Evans almost yelled :
'TouChback; bring the bail out
twenty yards and put il in play by
sCTimmage."
Pat Charity started the game,
hut retired after he had injured
hHSer trying to spear ono of Bono's
hooks. Judge and Harris were the
attsIS heroes, padding their aver
aFe on the final day with four wal
ieDs apiece.
'TanglefoOt" Rice. the champion
Gy chaser Of the universe and sur
rounding territory, stole no more
hLses ma caught but one fly. In
tect, he was quite idle for such an
attive person.
Hasty Had to Stick.
Bob Hasty stabbed for the Mack
rfen and might nave been knocked
,At O. the box had there been any
ore I" relieve him Knowing, how
%ar' that he would have to face
ne music, he pitched a tight game.
FLOWING but fifteen hits, receiving
.Dn nendation for his return to form
1t his late stage Of the game.
-Cne of thG features was the pinch
Hitting Of Hank Shanks. He batted
pr Bono in the ninth and slammed
ape mile trai ght up II the air.
Nick AltrOcr- played hockey and
sas docked a iitney by GrifF, who
refuses TO relax his discipline even
On the final day. He's a mean man
sger. is Grif
.Mr- Bono last night denied that
he IS in any way related to Mr..
F. Bono Publico, the weIl-known
aevspapeI correspondent, though he
said he had met the fellow over in
St Louis
'sFcr the rest Of the winter Clar-
sfce Fisher is going to figure out
Fhat was the matter with that ball.
DOR a man who pitches Just like
Isarl Mays, he got away to a shaky
start But he's going to show 'em
thing or two next spring.
In bringing the season to a close
lbe GriTmen selected Jim Shaw to
make the parting address to the
fans. Here is the message he sends:
