ABSENCE OF PECK SPURS
MATS TO SHARP ATTACK

Wilson kept Mogridge from work
ing too hard by Offering at the tnird
pitch to him. He rolled to Harris. 1t
ended a hitless inning, but not a run
less one for the giants.
Goslin got the first hit of the game,
hut Frisch all but cut off the blow.
Goose slammed a grounder toward
center and frankie dived for the
ball, but it sped past his head.
Barnes put more stuff on his
pitches to Judge, so Joe's best was
a high one to Kelly. So far Barnes
control has been fine. The Nationals
either have to offer at the pitches
or have them called against them.
Hi. No 2 went to Bluege. but it
was not much of wallop. Ossie
sent the ball trickling toward Lind
strom and beat the young third sack.
er's toss to Kelly. Goslin had to
pull up at second base.
Ruel, with a three e-and-two count,
tried a hit-and-run play. with Cos
lin and Bluege. Muddy grounded to
Lindstrom, SO only half of the job
was accomplished.
Coming up in pinches seems to be
Miller's fate. The big substitute
could do no better in this one than
in the two he batted in yesterday. A
tap to Lindstrom resulted in Ralphs
demise at first base.
More of this two stun
that Mogridge was guilty of so often
during the American League cam
paign happened in the Giants sec
ond frame. Jackson and Gowdy were
easy outs, but Mogridge walked the
weak-hitting Barnes and T..,dstrom
followed with a single to right.
Frisch, like Lindstrom, offered at
Mogridge's first pitched ball, but only
popped to Harris in short right.
Mogridge is pitching much faster
than he was accustomed to in the
American League games this season.
He seems to be just as unstrung as
was Johnson in the series opener
last Saturday.
Mogridge wanted to knock the ball
out of the park when he opened the
Nationals third frame. He famed.
Harris adopted the Giant tactics Of
hitting the first pitch. He sent it to right
for base blow, but McNeely, who had
hesitated on the runway fearing catch,
had to check in at second base.
Frisch is not infallible. he had a dou-
BILE play in sight when Rice's roller ap-
preached, but fumbled the ball momen-
tarily. That made Sam the only out of
the play.
Frenzied fans did not have to wait
long this afternoon for their daily
circuit clout. Goslin gave 1t to them
when heHsoaked Barnes first pitch
into the lower right stand, and
the mob roared as McNeely and Har-
ris preceded Goslin across the scoring
block.
Kelly could not get Judges ground
er cleanly. but he stopped 1t suffi-
ciently to be able to toss to Barnes at
first before Joe reached the sack.
Maybe that wallop Of Goslin's was
responsible for the pepper Mogridge
put into his pitching right or the reel
in the Giants third inning. George
shot 'em so fast that both Young and
Kelly took third strikes.

Association for high figure. Goslin
greeted the newcomer with line sim
gle to center. which gave Goose the
distinction of compiling four hits in
row. Judge hit the second ball pitched
for single to left-center. and when
Meusel fumbled the ball Goslin took
third and Judge reached second. Bluege
looped a single to left-center scoring
Goslin and Judge. He took second on
the throw-in. The crowd was yelling
for McGraw to take Dean out. Ruel
fouled to Kelly for the first out, and
Miller was again up with the chance to
accomplish something. But again he
failed, Frisch camping under his pop
fly. Mogridge again left Bluege on Sec
bnd when he famed, his fourth expert

NEW YORK-Young got his base on
four straight balls. Kelly raised a high
fly to McNeely in center. Meusel also
got to first on four consecutive balls.
Washington fans became uneasy when
Mogridge delivered a wide one to Will
son, and when he delivered another Har-
ris came in and conferred with him in
the box. Bucky evidently decided that
Mogridge was weakening, and directed
him to the clubhouse. Mogridge was
given a fine hand as he moved off the
field and Marberry came to the mound.
Marberry burned the first one for a
strike on Wilson to offset the two balls
Mogridge had thrown, and then Wilson
missed another strike. But after Wilson
fouled of one he doubled to right field.
scoring Young, Meusel also attempted to
reach the plate, but was killed of when
Harris took Rices throw and \relayed
to Ruel. A swing which jackson took
for second strike. and which was
called ball by Umpire Quigley brought
Harris, Marberry and Judge into the
plate to protest, but the decision stood,
and jackson ended the round by rolling
to Judge. who stepped on first. One run.

POLO GROUNDS. NEW YORK.
October 7.-Manager Stanley Harris
of the Nationals had expected to start
Roger Peckinpaugh at shortstop, be-
lieving the veterans charley-horsed
leg had improved sufficiently to allow
him to get into the fourth game of
the series. But Roger found he could
not get good stance at IL, plate In
the batting practice nor move about
the shortfield with any speed. SO the
man who hit so we'll in pinches in the
games with the Giants in Washington
will view the contest today from the
bench.
Harris also switched overnight from
Warren Ogden to George Mogridge
as pitcher for the Nationals in this
fourth engagement with the Giants.
The young pilot figures the southpaw
would be better to use than a right
handler.
A revamped National lineup was
announced for the fray. McNeely was
sent to center field and Miller to
third base, while Bluege was named
for the short field job. McNeely head
ed the batting order, with Ruel hit
ting seventh and Miller eighth.
AGAINST left-hander, the Giants
took Terry out of the game and sent
Kelly to first base, while Wilson
moved to center field and Meusel
went into left.
Virgil Barnes was sent to the slab
bv McGraw. He Is one Of the best OF
the Giant right-handers.
Umpires for today's game are Quig-
ley behind the bat, Connolly at hrst
base, KLEIN at second and Dineen at
third.
McNeely, first batter UP in the
game, let Barnes first pitch go by for
a strike, but later rolled to jackson
and made the latter throw fast for
retirement.
Barnes seems to have a deal Of speed

Frisch started damaging the Ma
tionals' cause early by heaving out
Rice, But Sam did not give the Ford

Mogridge was as wild as an Indian
of covered-wagon days when he started
pitching. Lindstrom easily drew a pass.
Frisch's bounder to Harris was so
high that Lindstrom had no trouble
getting to second. while Bucky had
to make a speedy toss to get frankie.
First blood for the Giants. Lind
strom scored when Bluege grabbed
Youngs grounder and threw the ball
away. The batter, though, could not
pass first.
Young pulled an unusual stunt

The Daily Telegraph learns that an
