GR|FFS POLISH
OFF RED SOX
IN SERIES
Take Three Out of Four and
Boost DoubIepIay Total
to 1855.

BOSTON, Sept. George Mog'
ridge had an easy time turning
back the Red Sox before a handful
of shivering fans in the last game
for the Washington Griffmen in the
Hub this season. The score was
s to a. Now and then the tall,
slender southpaw was in danger,
but he always emerged without
much damage. The victory gave
Griffs three out of four for the
series.
Two double plays brought the
Griffs' total up to 155 and they
seem almost certain Of eQualling
their 1922 record of 1853 before the
curtain drops.
The Griffs piled into Alex Fergu'
son from the start, scoring three
runs in the first and three more
in the second inning. Fergy dis

The Washington times., 1923-09-06

1t will be worse for the Wash
ington ball club to attempt to
cover up these details than for
it to come right out with the
information.
1t has been said that Sam Rice
loafed on a fly ball during the
ninth inning of the first game
at Boston Monday afternoon.
For this his manager is said to
have called him right hard, finally
suspending him and sending him
home.
Rice is said to have blamed
Bucky Harris for habitually run
ming into the outfield and that,
feeling Harris would get the fly
ball in question, he stopped. The
fly fell safe and before the thing
ended the Red Sox had won the
game.
Sam Rice has many friends and
admirers in Washington. So has
Bucky Harris. So has DOME
Bush. Unless this entire affair
is given out in detail, these fans
are bound to form into clioues
and make the situation worse.
Any attempt to hush it up will
simply mean that Rice's friends
will insist he was right, that
Harris has been infringing upon
his territory all season and that
DOME Bush was wrong in sus-
pending the outfielder.
Harris friends, Of whom there
are thousands here, will insist
that Bucky was right. They will
even try to point to various plays
during the season made by their
hero.
Bush's friends will insist that
he is manager, responsible for
the work of the players in the
field and that he was right in
his stand against Rice.
Worse than all this, it would
seem to US, the thousands who
don't know any of the mon in
question will use the situation as
an argument for the failure of
the team to finish in the first
division or wherever they think
it should finish. They will talk
IF cliques among the players, of
favorites Of the manager, etc,
etc. The club will be the biggest
loser, after which Bush, Harris
and Rice will add their mite in
new enemies.
So let all the fans who support
the ball club get all the facts
while they are warm and before
the tattle tales get to work.
