George Mogridge and Goose
Goslin were the bright stars of the
Griffs' victory at Plant Field yester;
:. day. Mogridge came into the game
in the fourth inning when tho Braves
were leading. 7 to o. He faced Just
ten Braves and. but for an error by
Ehanks on Ford in the fifth, not an
opponent would have reached first
base.
Mickey ONeill. who flied to Rice
I'm tho fifth, was tho only Boston
player to hit the ball beyond tho in.
field. Nicholson was called out on
strikes for the final out in the fourth
and both Boeckel and Holke whitfield
to open the NTH. Kopf famed for
the third death in the sixth, ending
Mogridge's work. Tho fans gave the
veteran a big hand as he ran off to
. the showers, and he deserved 1t. He
never looked better at any time last
year than he did against the Braves
yesterday.
Goslin enjoyed himself with his
frail. Up five times, he was cred.
ited with five clean hits, though it
must be admitted that at least
three were Of tho fluko variety.
. Against Marquard, who pitched :
fine ball for the first four innings,
Goslin hammered q clean single to
center in the second. In tho fourth
he drove another there, getting tho
ball well up on tho handle OF his
bat.
In tho fifth Goslin came up with
Peck on third and Smith on second.
He proceeded to shoot ono OF his
vicious drives to left, much as he
did in Washington last September on
first reporting to the Griffmen. That
whallop scored Peck.
In tho sixth Goslin came up with
Smith on second and one down. He
put up fly in short right that
Ford went out for. Southworth
might easily have captured that fly,
but he stayed back and Ford Just
failed to hold IT. AS the second
baseman kicked tho ball away from
him, Goslin got cheap double
out Of it.
Goslin came UP in the seventh
with Rice on first and two out. He
drove a hot one at Boeckel. The
Boston third baseman got his feet
tangled up and the ball was
through him like q shot. Nichol-
sons poor handling Of tho ball in
the field allowed Goslin to reach
second safey. There were his five
safe blows in as many trips to the
dish. He got two off Marquard,
and one off Miller. Marquard and
Cooney are southpaws. tho former
a skilled veteran, and the latter
a raw recruit. They all seemed to
look pretty much alike to Goslin
yesterday.
Zachary lacked speed and con-
troll when the game started. Four
free passes, five puny hits and
seven runs trickled over the plate
for the Braves. The fans began
bowling for a new pitcher, but in
the next two frames the big
southpaw looked good, giving but
one hit, Marquard's double
through ShanIxs down tho line.
Mogridse took up the work on
the hill in his usual masterful
fashion and the gang went wild
when the Griffs tied the score with
their seven runs in the fifth. Four
passes, four real wallops and a
field, accounted for the Washington
tallies.
Oeschgec was wild and ineffective.
So was Cooney. the kid southpaw.
Miller got away to bad start. but
finished strongly. Four hits and a
couple Of walks gave the Griffs four
runs in the sixth and a lead they
never lost.
Freddie Harveycutter was so de-
lighted with the victory that he har-
messed up his team of trained ALI.
gators and circled the half-mile
track with them Immediately after
the game. The Cuban fans chased
the team all the way, egging on the
alligators. Harvevcutter says he'll
have that nigh one In shape by
Saturday. He is thinking of man,
Ing that one Charlie johnson.
Pat Charity had the unusual
good luck Of crashing two safeties
In one inning. He led off in the
fifth with n single to left. He
came up again with two out and
the bases filled. Again he crashed
to left, this time bringing over a
couple of runs.
President Clark Griffith enter
tained the members Of the city gov
ernment in his box. explaining as
well as possible Why Zachary was
so rotten In the first and why the
whole Washington team went mad
in the fifth. He should complete
his explanation by Sunday noon and
have just barely time to pack his
trunk.
