Sam Jones to the hill today. Sam
was treated rudely Sunday. but he
I II usually effective against the
Griffs and may have his luck with
him today.
George Mogridge has yet to win
q game in two starts. For in
stance, in the third Yankee clash
he was trimmed, to Q, because
he got away to a bad beginning.
The AS slammed him for three
runs in his first start Of the sea-
son. sending him to the showers.
The Yankees grabbed three runs in
the first frame, but thereafter
found the veteran tough egg.
Joe Bush was said to have a 4
sore arm. That's good. Only
for that he might have held the
Griffs hitless. As it was, with
that alleged sore arm he per.
united six hits, no two in any
one frame.

The Yankees won the game in
the first inning, though everybody
hung around and shivered and
down Dugan singled to right and
Ruth walked. Meusel cracked
double to left center and two runs
were over. Pipp's single to center
scored Meusel. Mogridge buckled
@own to his job right there and.

Bush scratched a hit off Mo.
gridge's glove in the second and
Dugan singled clearly to center,
but neither scored.
Pipp tripled to left with one
down in the third and Ward walked
put both were stranded. Mogridge
had hit his stride and the Yankees
were finding more and more trou-
Die in finding his stuff.
For couple of frames the. tall
southpaW held the Zoe hitless, get
too, in the, fifth, much to their
chagrin. Wally Scliang singled i'm
the sixth and Scott walked, but a
double play ended the frame. I'M
his last four innings Mogridge gave
but one hit. He vanished when
Memo Leibold went to bat for him
IN the seventh. :.
Byron Specie completed the con-
test, giving one hit, Wits single
In the ninth. In the eighth Meusel
was passed, after Umpire Rowland
lost the count on him. Really the
Yankee slugger had been struck out.
Everybody in the park knew it
except Umpire Rowland. Pipp sac
rificed, Species peg to Peck being
too late to to get Meusel. Another
sacrifice by Ward advanced both
men. Schang fouled to Ruel, but
Manager Harris uncorked a wide
peg on Scott's grounder and Meusel
scored.
Bush pitched fine ball ali the
way, being at his best when the
gong seemed the toughest. The
Griffs' first rum was rather lucky,
the high gale giving Rice q two.
Dagger instead of Ruth a put out.
Only in the seventh did the Yam
kee veteran have really tough
time. He deserved his victory.
Rice opened that fourth with
high fly to right center. Babe
Ruth, who is an excellent fielder,
by the way, no matter how the fans
boo him, dropped il after a long
run toward second base. The gale
was beating the ball down and he
lust barely got his fingers on it.
Rice was on second when the ball
was recovered. Two infield outs
brought him over the pan.
Ruel opened the seventh with
double to lief. and Prothro walked.
Peck sacrificed perfectly and imme.
diately Mogridge was out Of the
t.ame in favor Of Memo Leibold.
The midget stood around there a
long time and when he earned his
free ticket the sacks were crowded.
a hit meant tied score, but Judge
rolled weakly to Pipp, scoring Ruel,
ind Harris died on foul fly that
Schang nailed with his big mitt

A little excitement came in the
ninth when Lance Richbourg, hit.

we're bowling in glee at the pros

Judge popped to Scott and Bucky
Iarris ended the game by whiting.
The credit goes to Joe Bush, who
vas at his best in the tight places.
