MuIIigan Has q Big Day.
In spite of Faber's excellent work
be would have had a hard time
getting away with the decision but
for Mulligan's fancy stickwork-
The kid from the coast drove in
ave runs during the afternoon
In the second inning he slammed
\ home run to left field with john
son on first He clinched the VIC
tory in the ninth when he came up
with the bases full and tripled to
right center, scoring himself on Har-
ris' error. The first blow was made
off Mogridge and the last one on
Erickson. who hurled the f1nal frame
and made a general mess of things
Advertised as a duel between Fa-
ber and Mogridge, our own leading
pitcher, the game was a tight AFFAIR
until Mcbride lifted his southpaw
in the eighth to allow Milan to do
some emergency batting. At that
time the Sox were leading to 3
and it was hoped that Erick would
uue1 them inthe ninth to give the
locals a chance to stage one OF their
well known rallies.
The big Swede, however. was in
poor form. He filled the bases
By walking Strunk. hitting Var
van and allowing Johnson to single
to right. Then up came Mr.. Mulli-
gan. There were two strikes on
him when he slapped one to the
scoreboard for three sacks
tribes Don't Worry Faber.
Faber gave an excellent exhibit
ton of his skill in the first inning
when consecutive singles by Judge,
Harris and Rice filled the bases
with none out 1t looked ike
flock Of runs for Washington. but
the titan haired slabber lost no
time in putting an end to all sucn
foolish ideas Brewer grounded
weakly to rSheely and Miller batted
into an easy double play. 1t was
sore disappointment.
There was no scoring until the
third, when the SON got their hrst
pair. With Ernie johnson perched
on first. MuIligan drove a hot one
inside the left field line 1t con-
tinued to the wall and took a bad
bound away from Miller. going into
deep center field. Mulligan easily
completed the circuit.
Grins Get n Trio
In their half of the third the
Elts took the lead with thelr
three runs and. for the time being,
Faber didn't look so good There
were two out when the rally
started. which is the usual thing
with the Grins- Rice walked and
stole. Brewer singled past Col
Iins. counting Sam. Miller beat OUT
a swinging bunt in front of the
plate. and Shanks doubled through
MuIIigan. counting Brewer. Char
rity also singled, scoring Miller.
That was all for the afternoon.
In the fourth MOSridge opened
with a walk and got away with
steal, ding to third when Mostil
jugEled Yaryan's overthrow. Judge
also walked, but none OF TIE
"cIean up" men could get the ball
out Of tha infield.
Fabrr's error and another base
on balls put Charity and ORourke
in the fifth with two out, hut they
got nowhere After that the Mats
never threatened.
MOgr1dEe P1ckeu AEoin.
Moeridge had little trouble after
the third until the sixth rolled
around. when a single by Falk'
Mostil's double and Sheely's hit TO
center with two out scored another
couple Of runs.
Milan batted for Mogridge in the
eighth. with Charity on second
and one out. Zeb expired on d
- We nj nj n
the box in the final frame.
In the ninth the SoX had a merry
time with Erick. Strunk, batting
for MostiI. was the first up and
walked Sheely struck out. but
Yaryan was hit on the funny bone
and strolIed to first. Faber skied
tc O'Rourke, and Johnson sent a
short single into right, filling the
sacks. Mulligan uacorked his
triple at this juncture. clearing the
sacks and continued homeward on
Harris error. Collins alsJ singled
and Hooper walked. but Falk was
kind enough to whiff.
Zachary or AcOsta will work
against the White Sox this after
noon. and it is good bet that
Courtney will get another fin gat
them before they leave.
President Quinn, of the St. Louis
club. has wired Clark Grifith that
Earl Smith is willing to report
and Will arrive early next week
His delay was due to the necessity
OF taking his wife, who is in bad
health. to Portsmouth, Ohio.
The temporary loss of Ray
Schalk is keenly felt by Manage
Gleason as Yaryan has still much
to learn. The Nationals have been
taking undue liberties with the re-
cruit catcher on the bases. and he
missed as easy pop foul yesterday.
Shanks played a sparkling game
around third. knocking several hot
ones, that had all the earmarks of
a hit In addition he raped out a
double and a single. boosting his
already healthy average.
MOgridge gets credit for the de-
feat, giving him five wins and
three losses.
