players and fans alike.
It was just such test that marks
ed the third clash between the Cleve-
land Indians and the Washington
Griffmen. The Indians copied, to
1. They outlasted the Griffs.
DOME Bush finally sent George
Mogridge to the hill. George didn't
go the route, but as he held the
Indians to two hits in six frames,
it might be said that he evidenced
a return to for mand should prove
Of considerable use to the team
from now to the end of the season.
Mogridge caved in under the heat
in the seventh. His collapse was
super-induced by futile gallop
around to third in the fourth in
ming. Umpire Owens, who probably
noticed the heat himself, by the way,
could not make UP his mind whether
that slap was fair or foul until Mog-
ridge had reached third base. There
fore, George merely ran for Sweeney.
Guy Morton, resembling the
sweating beIlemOth itself, stagger-
along for eight frames, squirting
out Of bad places I'm every inning.
Finally. after the eighth, Guy
tossed his soup and ice cream and
Jim Edwards, the Mississippi
sOuthpaw. worked the final frame.
The heat and exeFtiOn had been
too much even for man from
Alabama. So MOgridge, from
Rochester, N. T., may fairly claim
an alibi.
Jehosephat Besselievre BrilIheart
performed in the ninth. An infield
hit, a double, sacrifice and four
free tickets marked his appearance,
the Indians cinching the victory
with three runs. Brillheart, with
others on the throwing staff, ex.

and, on the whole, unexpected. It
began with Iris Speakers double
down the left field foul line, the
old boys first safe whack in three
days. Joe Connolly's clean smash
to center scored Spoke"
Connolly stole but died at third
on Guisto's hunt to Mugridge. Joe
Sewell banged a single to right,
sending Bananas" to third from
where he tailed on LutzlSe's slap to
left. When O'Neill walked Mog-
ridge raised the white flag and
Paul Zahniser took up the burden
Of retiring the side.
Morton famed nobly and Zahniser
got out of his troubles quickly
when Jamieson's smart hopper
headed for right hit the speedy
Steve O'Neill.
AS Memo Leibold had gone to bat
for Zahniser in the eighth, Brill
heart was facing the Indians in the
final inning. He did a poor job.
A pass to Sewell, a sacrifice, an
infield out, an infield hit by Nor
ton and q pass to Jameson filled
the bases. Mamby's double scored
SeWeIl and Morton. Two more
walks forced Jameson over before
GuistO Obligingly hoisted to Rice.
Morton's wild ride from second
home had been too much for him
and so Edwards faced the Griffs in
the ninth. Peck promptly doubled
to left and Tailed when Goslin
ripped single to center. That was
the lone run of the day for the
home boys.
Pat Charity came up for Joe
Judge and sent Jameson far back
for his powerful drive. Ruel popped
to Sewell back on the grass but
Joey Evans walked. He was left.
though, when Bucky Harris whitfield
gorgeously.
In every one of the first eight
frames the Griffs might have scored
could they have found a hit. Ruel
left two stranded in the opener and
three stood gasping as Peck rolled
to Sewell in the second.
Two were left in the third when
Harris sent a fly to Jameson,
Peck and Goslin hit safely to lead
off the fifth, yet were left by the
next three lads.
Harris tripled to start the sixth,
but was stranded at third. Peck
singled and Judge walked in the
seventh, but Ruel and Evans were
helpless. Morton always had
enough to use in the pinch with
deadly effect.
