Jack Quinn, the aged spitballer, has
looked like Hughey Duffy's best
pitcher this spring. which explains
why he was sent after the first game
here. He failed to endure for two
full frames. the Griffs humping him
off the slab with q perfect storm OF
bingles.
Looking Mt the Red Sox in a single
game, which may not be enough to
provide an honest test. we would say
they lack pitchers, have too many
slow men in the lineup to make for
fast fielding or base running. but
that they sure can hit the little old
onion.
Turkey Brewer, heralded as .
hOme-run clouter when he Joined
the Griffs late in the season OF
1890, came into his own yesterday
against the Boston Red Sox. He
connected for his first home run In
q Washington uniform, clean
drive over second base that rolled
out to the cool, green wall.
Brewers personality makes him
favorite with his fellow-players, and
with the right pavilion bugs. These
latter are for him--first. last. and
all the time. When he walloped that
pin out to the garden wall in center
the lively little knot of bugs In right
field went mad with their cheers.
In all, Brewer drove In five runs,
crossing the plate twice himself. He
kicked Judge over in the first frame
with a single to left. His double to
riaht I'D against the scoreboard In
the second sent Judge over again.
His home run in the sixth sent
Bucky Harris and Joe Judge over
ahead Of him. Turkey will receive
an alton today when he takes his
place in the garden.
Joe Judge, who has been hitting
In fine form this spring, was
slipped out of first place in the hat
ting order and put where his swats
could do some good. He is now the
cleanup clouter. He doubled in the
first frame, scoring Rice, and singled
in the second, scoring Harris and
Rice. So Manager Milan's decision to
place him in fourth position in the
batting order looked good to the
fans.
President Griffith WAS especially
pleased with the support given tho
slumping team yesterday. Close
, to 5000 fans paid their way
through the gates to welcome tho
Griffs home after dropping four
games to the Yankees in New
York.
That's testimony enough to me"
said Griff today, that Washington
is standing behind the ball team and,
once the weather brightens and some
warm days come along. the fans Will
be out there as OF yore. Further
more, with the fans standing behind
them, the players are bound to show
the effect. They'll soon pull them
selves out of their slump. Then
watch 'em 60"
The Griffs climbed all over the
Red Sox yesterday, stunning them,
IL to 3. George Mogr<ge was hit
for a dozen safe whacks, but he did
not have to exert himself, and didn't.
Wise George was satisfied with a
victory, knowing that 1t will be a
long summer.
Jack Quinn was knocked into the
clubhouse in the second inning,
seven runs having been charged
against him. Curtis Fullerton came
In and lasted until the sixth, when
Eddie Foster struck out for him.
bringing in Elmer Myers. The tall
one had nothing, and so Sam Dodge
finished the pastime. Fullerton
looked more like a pitcher than did
any Of the others flinging for the
Red Sox.
The fans got peek at Ossie Bluege
for a short while at third base. The
Peoria kid hit for LaMotte In the
seventh and then played third base
for the last two innings, having abso-
lutely nothing to do.
