manned in the back court and two at

Several said that the Nationals In
field was the best in base ball. Tyrus
Raymond Cobb thought that also. For
these reasons Washington was sus-
pected Of being the dark horse in the
American League race and there were
a large number Of people who ex-
pected to see the Nationals, and no
other team, finish in front in Oc-

tied to the Nationals first defense.
Not one of these was an easy double
play. They were as difficult as they
were spectacular and on two other
chances<the infield came near making
double killings.
MoEridee Pitches Well.
George Mogridge pitched smart base
ball. as Mogridge always does when
pitching againgst Detroit, but bis
work would not have countSd as
heavily had the infield work been
other than 1t was.
Mogridge himself was an important
factor in the attack. Two were out
in the third and bases were empty
when Mogridge came to bat. The mob
settled back and scored third out.
Mogridge is probably the least i'm
pressive sight we have ever seen at
bracketfng him with Slim Harris of
Philadelphia. When he came up in
the third yesterday he wore an old
sweater and bored look. Neverthe-
less, Dauss could not control his de-
livery for this object and he walked
