Already the eboys have recovered
from the mental stagnation into
which they were tumbled. by their
quartet of defeats in New York.
Now they think they have chance
to win any old game at any old time.
It Is the proper spirit for a winning
ball club. Immediately after today's
contest at Shibe Park both teams
will entrain at North Philadelphia
for Washington. where they are due
for a scramble tomorrow. Back
they will hike tomorrow night for q
continuation of the fun they tnstt-
tuted under Arctic conditions yester~
day. The Griffs play here Monday
and Tuesday Of next week, and then
move on to Boston. which Is truly
terrible place at this time Of tho
year. But duty Is duty. and Zeb
Milan's boys are strong on this duty
stuff ia!ii a1t'.
Though the sun sbone beautifully.
n lacked warmth. The paying fish
In the big left field bleacher had the
most comfortable seats In the park.
They were in the sun and were shell
tered from the bitter wind from the
north. The pest box. exposed to all
wandering foul tips. was q fitting
school for Arctic explorers. Never
theless, down there on tho field the
Griffs and Macks staged what fs
sometimes termed a contest. clash.
a battle. 1t was rather one-sided.
but It. was on the right side. 80
what's the odds? The Grtffs copped,
to 4. taking all advantage Of tho
wiidness OF Bryan Harris and Of tho
wild pegging and fielding OF some OF
the Mackmen.
DOME Bush. for tho first ttme
since replacing Lamotte at third
base, made q noise like batsman.
II he can continue that racket, 1t
may be some day before Hank
ShanIxs Is again Offered an oppos>
tunity to clear his batting eye
save in tho daily practice. No
manager likes to change . winning
holding his own with . winning
combination.
The former Detroit Midget walked
on his first trip to the plate. Then
be beat out a neatly placed bunt in
front OF the plate. He led Off in the
sixth with a fine double down the
third base line. He sacrificed on his
fourth parade to the pan and failed
to do omething only ON his fifth and
last appearance when he hoisted a
fly to Bing Miller. who played CEN
ter field for a change. Bush hit for
-66e during the day, scoring two
runs.
While II may Be but a flash, It
must be admitted that Turkey Brow
or looks moro like an outfielder this
year than he did hast. II the tall
Virgfnian with the everlasting smile
can continue to grab the grounders
and snaS the flies, he win remain in
right neld and continue to smite the
apple. Brewer got but one hit yes
terday, a solid wallop over Gallo
ways head into left field, but he was
due for q slight rest, as he is slam
ming the ball for moro than 400,
or something very close to it.
Brewer had to sail back close
30 tho wall In the third to Eef
Johnston's long ny, and he went
oven farther back when he collar
ed WeIch's long sacrifice kick In
the eighth. No, there wae nothing
spectacular about either catch, but
both called for some knowledge Of
fielding, and Turkey showed It.
The MAckmen, VINO were havin6 a
bad day before the home folks,
staged q wild play in the fourth.
Bush was on third and Mogridge on
first when ION" Smith rolled to Gal
1<.xxf
but ono out, ana Galloway tossed to
Young to start double play.
Young heaved to the grandstand
behind Johnston and Smith went on
down to second. hesitating when
half way and coming back to first.
Johnston flung to Young and again
the former Tiger heaved the ball
over the first sackers bald dome.
That time Mogridge landed at third
and Smith reached second. The
Mackmen swarmed out of their dug
out to claim that Mogridge was out
in the first place before Smith ever
started back to first. Young kicked
SO vehemently that he kicked him
self right out OF the ball game.
Heinie Scheer had to replace him
when play was resumed with Mo-
gridge on third and Smith on second.
Young really made two errors, both
wild throws, on the same play, but
the, official scorer could charge him
with but one. which appears in the
box score somewhere on this page.
Rryhn Harris, Connie Mack's elon-
gated twirler, was wild as DAN
bury halter, after reading the su-
preme courts decision regarding n
certain matter. He passed six of the
Griffs while he was performing on
thel hilh and was cracked for nine
safe swpts. He blew up entirely In
the sixth when Bush doubled, Smith
singled. Bucky Harris tripled and
Rich beat out a bunt. Young Eckert
con1pleted the pastime for the home
both. He was not so very. very good.
Jimmy Dykes grabbed himself a
horAe run Off Mogridge after the
tallE southpaw had eased up and
was going on TO the end. Dykes
caught holi OF n slow one and
loftsd Il TO left. They have a low
wall around the field here and in
left field Il extends for some ten
feet into fair territory. Dykes hit
bounced right over that thre-foot
wall and was declared n home run
, under the rules made and provided
