BRAVES DOWN
GRIFFMEN BY
6-TO-2 SCORE
Walter Johnson Makes His
Debut in Engagement, Co
ing Along Five Innings.
By LOUIS A. BOUCHER.

TAMPA. Fla, April by win
ming today's final exhibition
II game in Florida, to 2, the Bos-
ton Braves have the edge on DOME
Bush's Griffs before the brief barn
storming tour opens Monday at Sa-
vannah. The Braves have now won
two out of three from the Griffs and
the latter have won five out Of eleven
games played with National League
clubs this spring.
Walter Johnson pitched five in
nings today, and outside Of q little
wildness, made q good showing. He
passed two Braves in the opening
frame and both scored a moment
later when Tony Boeckle doubled to
right. Three more hits were made
off the big fellows delivery, but no
more runs. He pitched strongly and
easy, giving five hits in five frames.
He issued four passes, three in the
first frame. After that his control
was excellent.
George Mogridge showed griev-
Gus lack of effectiveness. In four
innings the Braves banged him for
eight hits and four runs. He had
no speed whatever and the National
Leaguers stepped right into his slow
curves.
PECKINPAUGH RETURNS.
Roger Peckinpaugh celebrated his
return to form by going to bat for
Mogridge in the ninth. He rolled
to Kopf. He took part in the field
ing drill before the game and,
though protecting his broken finger
did some throwing that was well UP
to his usual style.
Ossie Bluege contributed at least
one mid-season stop when he got
in front of Ford's drive in the
eighth. He got no hits, but landed
on the ball with great force twice.
The best single individual field
ing stunt of the day was Sam
Rice's long running one-handed
catch of Kopf's fly close to the foul
line in the seventh.
Goose Goslin got hold Of one of
McNamara's floaters in the eighth
and hoisted 1t out to the race
track for a home run. The young
slugger crossed the plate grinning

In the topline nuss, Al Ward, the

he has toppled over his foes by

Carbon, Fort Myer bantamweight,

been compelled to spot his opponents
