claim to first place in the American
League championship race this eve
ming was expected to depend upon
the s1abbing ability of George Mog-
ridge, southpaw pitcher. He has been
nominated by Manager Stanley Harris
to toll for the Nationals this after
noon, In the second game of the Red
Sox series
Should Mogridge hurl as effectively
as did Walter Johnson in the series
inaugural. there is every likelihood
the Bucks will hold to their top-most
berth, provided they WELD their bats
with more vigor than yesterday.
Must Face Ehmke.
The Bucks, though. will have to face
a capable moundsman in Howard Ehmke
He has had a good rest in prepara-
tion for this afternoons engagement
and ought to be in splendid form.
Mogridge has done very well
against the Red Sox this season, but
Ehmke has a fair record against the
Bucks, also. Another keen contest
probably will be staged.
A rumor spread about Boston last
night that Walter johnson had a bone
fractured when he was hit in the left
arm by one of Alec Ferguson's pitches
during the opening tilt of the series
here. Telephone operators at the
hotel where the Bucks are stopping
were kept busy assuring anxious in
quirers the big pitcher was not hurt.
The ball struck on the nerve plexus,
popularity known as the funny bone"
and the blow panied him for a few
minutes only.
Johnson, if necessary, may toe the
slab here Tuesday in the final game Of
the season.
