TIGER SLUCCERS,
MATS WINNING, 6-2
George Also Leads Attack
And Griffs Complete
Four Double Plays.

| DETROIT. Mich. Sept. II. -
George Mogridge's educated left
arm swung the Nationals into a
6-to-2 victory over the Tigers this
lafternoon.
Mogridye pitched carefully, as he
generally does, and well. but to
Mogridges support great deal OF
credit is due. The infeld gave him
| brilliant support. Harris. Peckln-
paugh. Judge and LaMotte hashed
around the veteran lefthander as
they have On few occasions TINS
year. They executed four double
plays and lost two others by the
narrowest of margins.
On attack, instrument of Detroit
torture was Mogridge himself. He
started a rally in the third that
netted four runs. the turning point
in the game. He came near doing
the same thing again in the sixth
and in the eighth he drove in the
final tally.
George Leads Attack.
The victim of Mogridge's INTEL
lectual work was George Dauss,
who. like Mogridge, is well-prac-
ticed and wise in the ways of pitch
ing. Dauss probably would have
made things extremely tough for
Washington had 1t not been for Mo-
gridge at bat
Mogridge had the heavy hitters
of the Detroit lineup in hand all
through the game Cobb, Veach and
| Fothergill got a total Of one hit.
| Fothergill making that one in the
ninth inning. The only man in the
| home lineup that did not think
! much of Mogridge's pitching was
| the veteran. George Cutshaw, who
nailed Mogridge for three singles
and would have had a perfect day
| but for a splendid play by Stanley
| Harris in the ninth.
The attack on Dauss came unex-
pectedly. Peckinpaugh singled to
open the third. He tried to steal sec
ond and Bassler cut him down. La
| Motto was called out on strikes and
with two down and none on, Mogridge
| came to bat. He wore a big, loose
sweater and seemed to take his turn
at bat for no other reason than that
the rules required II. He looked
bored. In baseball parlance. he looked
like so much FISH"
Works Is on.
But Mogridge was nobody's FISH
least of all Dauss. He did not hit
the ball, he did worse-that is. worse
for Dauss. He waited Dauss out,
shifting awkwardly about the bat
ter's box. And he got a base on
balls.
When Mogridge walked the break
went to Washington. Dauss became
so upset about it that he also walked
Judge. Harris hit a single to short
left and Mogridge made a try for the
plate that looked like suicide, but he
got away with it. for Veach, expect
ing no such action. threw wide to
4 Bassler. Rice slashed out a two
bagger and both Judge and Harris
scored on the hit. Goslin lined a sin
gle into left and this hit drove Rice
home. That made four tallies, more
than enough to win, as later events
showed
Harris singled and stole in the
nth. He stopped at third on Rice's
infield hit, but scored while Cutshaw
was throwing out Gaslin.
In this inning the Tigers got
their first run. Cutshaw singled
and Rigney forced him. Bassler
flied. Dauss put Rigney on second
with single. Haney tapped the
ball toward third and Mogridge
after fielding IL. made a wild throw
to first, Rigney scoring.
NalIIn In Danger.
There were two out in the sixth
when LaMotte was hit. Mogridge
hit to Rigney, who fumbled the ball
Judges slow roller to second was
a single. That filled the bases. But

escaped.
WOodall batted for Dauss in the
