southpaw suffers severe pains in his
elbow and cannot go back to the
mound for at least three days. I'm
less relief is given him he will be
compelled to pitch only in turn and
never earlier than the fourth day,
even though the need be the greatest.
II is on this account that Manager
Milan wants him TO visit Reese and,
II possible, have his injury repaired.
George Mosridge, just back from
having a chiropractor pummel pain
out of his system. believes that
elbow and that Reese will repair IT
In a twinkling. Mogridge had A
muscle out Of place in the back of
his neck 1t caused undue pressure
upon a nerve and pain extended
down across his shoulders to his
breast.

Gle. He Strengthened II out, and
now I haven't a single pain. Zach
will probably experience the same
thing. Reese will locate the injury,
pound it into position. and Zach's
elbow will be as good as ever"
Mosridge will very likely oppose
the Tigers today at Navin Field. He
has been ready to work ever since
reporting at Cleveland. 1t will be his
first appearance in the box since
May 81. at Boston, when he turned
back the Red Sox. I to 4.
II is possible that Zeb Milan will
send four southpaws against the
Tigers and repeat the dose at st.
Louis next week However. Walter
johnson is in condition. and may be
started at least once. Milan's plans
now are to hold johnson for relief
duty and send Mogridge, Francis,
Zachary and Brillheart against the
enemy OF course, these are sub

Johnson into the skirmish list.

and they promise lots Of trouble
for the Griffmen In the series open
ing here today.
In Washington recently Tv Cobb
sent Red Oldham. his veteran south
paw, against the Griffmen twice. The
big southsider is sure 10 pitch at
least one game in this series. Howard
Ehmke is another veteran expected
to do some toiling on the mound In
this series. Both veterans are usually
effective in their battles against
the Griffs.
There is some speculation as to
which other pitchers will he called
upon. Pillette and Stoner have been
pitching good ball and may have
the call over Olsen and Johnson. The
Grfffs have yet to face any one Of
the quartet.
Pillette and Johnson are the two
rockies the Portland club dangled
before Clark Griffith's eyes last win
