Mogridge was the leading hurler Of
the Griffmen last season. both in per-
centage of games won and in the
average of earned runs per game al
lowed opponents, his mark OF three
runs for each nine innings being bet
tered by only one regular-Red Fa-
her. The White Sox star fully earned
top honors by holding opponents to an
average of 24S earned runs per game
in total of 331 innings pitched. Guy
Morton and Bill Piercy were listed
second and third. with marks of 2.75

respectively, which makes their per-
formances less meritoriOus than that
of Mogridge, who hurled a total of
2S8 innings.
Means Much to Team.
Adjustment of his differences with
Mogridge means much to the team
added to the infield by PeckinpauEh
and to the outfield by Goslin, the tall
dorkhander should prove even more
effective in the coming race than he
was last year; But the roster still Is
a few shy of being complete, and one
of the missing number is Jezebel Te-
cumseh Zachary. who also is slated
to check in at the Tampa Bay Hotel
the first of the week. Griff daily has
bean expecting word from Zach and
has not yet given up hope. for the sor-
rel-topped southpaw lives at Graham.
n. c.. where the telegraph office does
not function regularly.
Grif feels certain his Tarheelmounds-
man will fall into line, and 1t is to be
hoped that he does. for. although
Zach generally is regarded as having
had an off year in 1921, he won as
many games as Mogridge. eighteen,
which is one more than Johnson &C
counted for. and the sixteen defeats
he suffered were exceeded only by two.
the number incurred by George and
Walter.
Eliminating Harry Harper. who
pitched only fifty-three innings all
season, Zachary ranked third among
the lefthanders of the American
League last year, his marx of 3.96
earned runs being bettered only by
Hub Leonard of the Tigers, with 3.74,
in addition to Mogridge.
Four Besides Zachary.
II Zachary comes to time. as is ex-
pected, there will remain only four
players unsigned, none of them due
here until the week after next. and
absolutely essential to the success OF
the club. Nat Turk. the finger OBJ
tanned with GoSlin from Columbia OF
the Sally League. Is one. He has yet
to indicate whether he will suspend
his studies In Baltimore to report
pected to become regular on his
first trial in the majors anyhow.
Another is DOME Bush. whose value
lies largely in his ability to tempo
rarily plug a hole in the fnf1eld. and
still another is Picinich, chief under
study to Pat Charity. Val is one of
the very best mechanical catchers in
tho game, when his mind Is on his
work, but with a backstop of Char
rity's stamina and willingness on the
Job Picinich's duties have been con-
fined almost exclusively to the games
walter johnson off1ciates in. The fact
that Picinich came to Florida some
weeks ago indicates he intends ulti-
mately to accept the salary onered
him. He is in Miami and can motor
over in the yellow roadster he ship
ped there when he started south
No Word From Judge.
Joe Judge completes the list Of
those still without the pale. No word
Of any sort has been forthcoming
from him. but Griffith today supple
mented his recent assertion that any
further move must be made by the
first baseman with a statement that
was convincingly emphatic Here 1t
is verba tim:
Judge will sign at my terms or
Re will not play ball at all. 1t would
be unfair to the other players. who
are reasonable, to grant the exor-
bitant demands of one. 1 will not
stand for a hold-up from anybody. If
will go along without him. with
Brewer on first base. or Torres. or
somebody else, regardless of the
effect 1t may be figured to have on
the chances of the team 1t is
matter of principle. and I'll not
under any consideration. You can
Just bet all you've got that Judge
won't get a dollar more. not even a
nickel"
In addition to Manager Milan, who
taking the baths in company with
Charity. eight players are due to
arrive and start active training the
first of the week-Pitchers Johnson,
Zachary and Erickson;
Frank Brewer, listed temporarily, at
a gardener; Outflelder Goebel and
Bluegex and La Motto.
Charity will terminate his sojourn
at the spa this week. but instead OF
accompanying Milan here will return
to his home at Beloit, Wis, and take
to reach here a week from next Sun
day. when Picinich, Judge. Shanks:
Peckinpaugh. Bush. Rice. Smith and
Turk also are due.
The great power GOslin possesses In
his hands. arms and shoulder is well
illustrated by the fact that he is using
Sisler model bat, which he COM
plains is altogether too light for him,
and swings it from the end while
SisIer himself has to choke the stick
to WELD 1t effectively.
Goslin proved unable to manage the
bludgeon at one stage in the practice
session yesterday, however. 1t was
1ust after he had been impressed into
service to warm up McGrew. Dam
Eerous Dan developed so much speed
that Goslin's hand soon was painfully
swollen. despite the use of a regula-
ton catchers mitt, and Goose finally
quit tho lob. 1t was then that Goslin,
taking his turn in the batting prac-
tice, found it impossible to take a
good grip with his wounded paw. The
hat slipped out of his hands and sailed
lass than a yard over the head Of
Mike Martin and President Denton of
the Tampa club, who were comforting
ON the side lines. Thereafter every
one got completely out of range when
Goslin was batting.
