The youthful pilot is determined there
shall be no more such instances as an
alien runner scoring from third while
his pitcher essays a play at another
base, if coaching can prevent it.
For the third tussle of the current
Series today George Mogridge was tab
bed for box work, and it was anticipated
that Miller Huggius would call on the
perennial youngster. Waite Hoyt, as
first P"nnock. then Shawkey and Jones
have taken their bumps here. and Joe
Bush, the other member of the five
star curving corps. has been bothered
somewhat by sore arm this spring.
Mogrdgc made an inauspicious start
against the Macllmen last week, when
he lasted only one round. but he is in
good physical condition and is confident
he can make it three straight for the
Nationals over his former mates.
Barney's Task Made Easy.
IL the veteran left-hander gets half
as much offensive support as the Ma
tionals accorded johnson yesterday, his
task will be rendered easy. For five in
ningS the looked-for slab duel between
johnson and Shawhey ragged in full force,
with neither entry able TO tally, but the
enemy nicked Walter for a marker in
the sixth, and after the Griffmen got
through with Shawkey in the fag end
of that frame it ceased to be con-
test. sam Jones and a pair of rockies
named Shields and Castor followed in
that order, eight tallies materlaliZing
in the next two frames. on eleven bin
giles and some reprchenSible work afield
by the Yanks.
All told the Nationals garnered
seventeen hits for q total of twenty
four bases, every member of the
local east except Peckinpaugh get
ting at least one, with George Fisher
having four to his credit to lead
the pack. In comparison with such
cannonading the triple and homer
evolved by Babe Ruth paled into
inSignificance where under different
circumstances they might have
proved highly important.
The Yauks threatened right at the
outset when Whitley Witt. the same
athlete who opened Saturdays battle
hS polling one of Martina'S offerings
over the riesat-field ferca nicked
Johnson for single to left Dugan

10 Ruth was u pa IS. Walter then
bent Il third strike over on Pipp
and gathered in Meusels little
roller.
Prothro's Triple Is Wasted.
The first half-dozen Griffs to face
Shawkey were set down in order.
Prothro was the first to dent his
armor, the D. D. s whacking to
right center at the start OF the third
for three bases, only to be stranded
when Peck whitfield. Johnson died on
rap to short and Judge popped
to Scott in short center.
With two gone in the fourth, oppor-
tunity knocked loudlY at the door
OF the Nation ais who, however, were
hurting finesse of Shawkey. His
temporary embarrassment had its
origin in a pass to Goslin, who
IraipSed around to the far corner
when Fisher lined a drive against
the right-feld fence for two bases.
Tsucl took his time and carefully
inspected Shawkey'S repertoire. but
with theoount standing three-and-
two watched a hooked third strike
sail over the platter.
Aside from an unsupported bingle
by Scott in the second and Schang's
single in the fifth on which Wa1ly
reached second when Scott sacrificed
only to be left as Shawkey whitfield
pionS made no impression against
Johnson until the sixth. when Ruth
paved the way for their first tally by
lofting a mile-high fly against the
fence for three bases. A wicked
wham through Harris by Pipp cashed
the Bambino and Pipp continued to
second when Fisher fumbled the roll
ing ball. Johnson wild-pitched Pipp
to the far corner, but promptly col
lected his faculties and famed Meu-
sci, whereupon Ward rolled to Peck.
Griffs on Batting Rampage.
1t was in the fag end of this frame
that the Nationals started on the
rampage that spelled finiS for the
Yanks. With Judge disposed of, Har-
ris emitted safety to center. Rice
raised a little fly that the wind car
ried out of the reach of Pipp and
when Schang recovered the pellet and
heaYed wildly over Wards head in
trundled to third and Sam reached
second. Goslin again received a gra-
tuity from Shawkey, filling the bases
and putting it up to Fisher. The
rookie outfielder, responded with
blow through the box that Ward
couldn't handle and Harris was over
the pan with the tying run. Ruel
then shot a stinger to center that
sent Rice and Goslin home and Fisher
to third. from where he tailed on
Prothro's long fly to Witt This drive
was so far out that Ruel scampered
to second after the catch, but he was
left when Peck took a third strike.
The Yanks caused a furry in the
seventh, when singles by Scott and
Witt put runners on third and first,
but there was one down when they
started, Pinch Hitter Henrick sand
wiched in a foul to Prothro and
Dugan wound it up by rolling to
Harris.
Three Other Hanks Pounded.
Sam Jones, who succeeded Shawkey
on the mound, had things made so
uncomfortable for him that he was
yanked before a single hand had
been retired in the seventh with a
run chalked against him and
heritage of loaded sacks for Ben
Shields, No. on the list of Yankee
chuckers. Four more runs splashed
over the platter before this youth
full southpaw was withdrawn. 1t
devolved upon Milton CASTOR, a big
righthander who is seeing his first
nfajor league service, to get the
Griffmen out, another tally developing
in the process. During the festivities
Johnson got a double, singles went to
Judge, Harris, Fisher and Ruel, and
Goslin manufactured a triple that
cleaned up fully loaded set of sacks.
Johnson, Harris, Rice, Goslin and
Fisher conspired to chase another
pair of Griffmen plateward in the
eighth at the expense of CASTOR. 1t
was in this frame that Ruth gave an
exemplification of his slugging-the'
first for him this season, by the way
when he connected for a lofty looper
that barely cleared the right field
fence.
With the champions trailing far be-
hind, this blow served only to crafty
the wishes of the extensive as
semblage. 1t didn't mean anything
