not quite ready for his best work.
However. against the Griffmen he
was himself and showed almost no
signs of wildness.
Joe Judge walked opening the
second inning, only TO be doubled
up by Turkey Brewer. For the
first six innings not smell OF
bingIe did the Griffmen get. and =
exactly eight men had marched to
the plate and back again over that
stretch. II was not till Bob La

right center that any Of the Griffs

Visions of a hitless game were be-

filled every available seat and over

nings not hit had been mad. and
Bluege opened the seventh with a

withhold their cheers, so sur" were
they that Pillette would entec the

victory.

hits were all the Griffs got.
Sam Rice bounced to Pillette and
Harris was run down and killed at

Then Pillette summoned all his

like a veteran, rather than a rookie
up for his first season in the big
league.
Almost in direct contrast was
George Mogridge, pitching. his first
game in two weeks. He had trouble
finding the plate and, when he did
find IL, he had little with which to
puzzle the Jungle Cats. Jones got
two clean drives to center, Cobb
grabbed a pair and Bobby NeaCh
collected three safe swats. yet all
three Tigers are lefthand hitters.
No better evidence could be offered
showing the poor form OF Mogridge.
To rub il in, Johnny Bassler, an.
other southpaw hitter. got Il single
and a double off the slender singer
from the Capital.
Harry Heilrnann cinChed things

after Jones and Veach had
singled. They romped around
ahead Of the big Outfielder, while
some 10000 fans stood and
howled with joy.
Joe Gleason pitched the eighth
inning and did not look so very
good. Blue opened with a double
to the crowd in center. a passed
ball advancing him corner. Jones
took a walk and Cobb's clean single
to center scored Blue. On Neach s

did nothing.
Standing out brightly was the
work of George Cutshaw. the vet.
