The Washington times., 1922-05-31

Goslin was placed in the outfield
on May 12 against the Cleveland
Indians, and barring two games, he
has remained there ever since. He
has played seventeen ball games,
going to bat fifty-nine times. He has
crossed the plate eight times and
has hammered out nineteen hits for
a total of twenty-five bases. This
entities the youngster from the Sally
League to a batting average of 1922.
Goslin is most unfortunate in be-
ing hurt just now when he has ap-
parently overcome the painful start
of the campaign. In his four
games here against the Red Sox,
Goslin has shown great form, es-
pecially in the field. Going to bat
fifteen times, the youngster hit
safely only three times, but his
. two-bagger off Karr in the seventh
inning of yesterdays first game
cinched the victory.
Boston fans are loud in their
praises Of the youngsters fielding.
He has come into the infield for
flies, he has taken them over in
center and toward the foul line
and, better than that he actually
raced up the hank in left field here
Monday and with a wonderful jump
into the air. hauled down Joe Du-
gan's try for a double. Goslin
looks like a world beater at Fen
way Park
In the fifth inning of Yesterdays
second game Goslin singled to
right and went up on Collins
sloppy handling of the drive.
Muddy Ruel had a short passed
ball and when he recovered 1t, Cos
lin was caught half way between
second and third. Ruel threw to
Pratt and Goslin was driven toward
third He tried to land there with
O head-first dive and was tagged
out.
In diving into the bag Goslin
struck his hand with such force
that It Is believed a small bone
may have been broken. He was
compelled to leave the game at
once. After receiving first aid
from Trainer Martin, GOslin went
ington under orders from Man
ager Milan to visit the club ply
sician today.
Ossie Bluege, after warming the
bench since the flag went up, has
finally seen his name in the box
score. Manager Milan decided to
use his rookie yesterday, and today
he says he is satisfied that the Peoria
pippin will eventually become
regular. Though out of position,
seeing that he is a shortstop, Blucge
handled a number of badly bounding
balls in smooth style, and his throw
ing arm is all the doctor ordered. He
gets the ball across to Judge or over
to second base with little or no Of
fort, and is as accurate as chro.
nometer.
The fourth assistant third sacker
got one hit and one pass in ten trips
to the plate, but he was robbed of et
least one more safe hit when John
Collins came in close to the foul line
behind first base and snagged his
Texas Lacquer. For lad who has
been merely looking at ball games all
season instead of playing in them,
Bluege made most favorable i'm.

The necessity Of the moment forced
Manager Milan to start J. Bes-
selievre Brillheart in the second game
vest terday. The Griffs are sadly
lacking in pitching material, and If
Brillheart Is ever to start a came, 1t
might just as well be row as tomor
row. That is the way Milan rea.
soned and he had no .epentence
coming to him when the game was
ended.
For the first time this year the
young southpaw was wild. oh yes,
he was wilder than that. He faced
the tail.enders for six innings and
managed to get two out in the
seventh before he was yRnked in
favor Of Olaf Erickson. Vim that
stretch OF less than seven frames
Brillheart plunked two of the enemy
with pitched balls and walked ten.
He was wild but he was equally ef.
fective. He worked himself out Of
bad holes time and again and was
roundly cheered when he left the
game. the fans realizing that he was
just a boy making his first start
