It-must be said in behalf of the
youngsters that they were on the
rubber days that their support was
ragged. both in the field and at the
bat. Good fielding and d little more
batting would have added at least
one more game to the victory side of
Phillips and Francis. But that is
Just Washington's ill luck. Other
teams pick up youngsters and
find phenom among the bunch, but
this city has not been so fortunate
since the day Walter johnson drifted
into the local camp. Phillips. Fran
els and Gleason have the goods. how
ever. and this will be demonstrated
when they are rightly placed and
given good support.
White SOx Are Here Today.
This afternoon we have the White
Sox with us, starting Il series of four
games, and they should prove inter-
eSting from the opening to the clos
ing battle. Mogridge probably will
do the twirling for the Griffs. but
warns up the best will work for
him. 1t is hardly likely that Harry
Courtney will face his old team
mates, although he certainly would
prove big attraction if advertised
in advance. Courtney pitched d good
game in Boston. his first time out
for the Sox. but lost. . to o. through
wildneSS in one inning.
The Grin's victory over the Tigers.
was a regular "humdinger, the win
ming tally coming over the plate in.
the final round. There was excite
ment aplenty throughout the contest.
as both Oldham and Francis pitched
exceptional ball. the local boy ex-
score standing all even. 2-2. Bush
started off with a pass and reached
second on Harris sacrifice, which
Oldham threw badly to Rigney in
trying to head off DOME. Rice then
obtained base on balls. filing the
corners with no one out and the
spectators standing up and yelling
like Indians on the warpath. Judge
put damper on things when he roll
ed to Cutshaw, who threw home in
time to head off Earl Smith. who was
running for Bush. But there still
were three on and. with Goebel up.
Manager Cobb rushed into the dia-
mond and called Dauss in to the hill
in an effort to save the day. Man
ager Milan Immediately got busy
: Turkey Brewer against the right
handler Turkey didn't make a hit,
hut did damage enough to win the
game. as Rigney. in his anxiety to
head off Harris at the pan. fumbled
Brewers bounder and the game was
over.
GriHs First to Score.
The Griffs were the first to score.
getting run in the second round.
when Charity came through with
triple to right center with two down.
and crossed the plate when Haney
momentarily fumbled Peck,s roller
Another run went up for the Griffs
In the third. when Harris led off with
a single to right and reached third
when Rice doubled into the same ter
ritory. Judges sacrifice f1v to He'll
mann sent Buckley" over the rubber
the final round.
The Tigers went runless for three
innings, but tied it up in the fourth
on two hits and an error. Veach got
pass. but was out at second, Peck
to Harris. on Heilmann's roller. He'll
mann went to second while Francis
was tossing out Haney. Rieney got
a single into short left and Heilmann
stopped at third. Bassler then
slammed a sizzler to left for two
Goslin threw the ball to, the dugout
Rigney also scored. Francis then put
on steam and famed Oldham for the
final out. This round ended the scor-
ing of the Tigers, although they
came mighty close to another run in
the fifth. when the first two men got
on, but Francis got out of the hole
by nervy pitching. After that the
visitors didn't have a chance.
Eddie Goebel Doe. Well.
Eddie GoebeI replaced Brewer in
right field and looked good. making
a fine catch in the second round off
Feach in short right and coming
through with a clean single to CEN
ter in the eighth. Eddie should have
had another hit, as he clearly beat
out bounder to Haney in the fifth.
but Umps Hildebrand thought diff
ferently.
Peckinpaugh played a sterling game
around short and had the spectators
with him all the time. Rog will find
his batting eye shortly and then look
out for squalls.
GOalin had a spectacular day of it.
In addition to muffing fly right into
his waiting hands and his wild throw
to the dugout. he almost mounted the
wall in front of the left field bleach
ers to pull down Heilmann's tremen-
dous drive.
When pitcher can put the skids
under batters like Cobb. Veach and
Heilmann, he must have goods of a
high quality. Nary a safety did any
of the trio get off Francis yesterday.
Three singles and a double was the
sum total of the Tigers batting.
sam Rice and Eddie Charity have
shot a scare into Oldham. both get
ting couple of passes after the first
named had slammed out two doubles
and Eddie had made triple.
