Judge spent the night in st.
Mary's Hospital, whittier he was
taken from Navin Field half an
hour after being knocked to The
ground in the second :nning. 1t
was feared that he had suffered
a fractured skull and Mike Mar
tin, the Washington trainer, adj
vised immediate examination.
To See Game Today
The sawbones at the hospital
could find no traces of fracture,
Judge suffering only from a severe
conclusion. Today he was reported
in good shape and is expected to
see the game from a nice seat on
the bench. Just when he resumes
playing cannot now be said
Judge was at bat with one out
in the secCnd inning. He believed
Whitehill about to throw a curve,
which would have taken the ball
away from him, and he leaned out
into its path to swing at it. In
stead. the Detroit man had thrown
a fast ball with all his strength.
Realizing his mistake too late,
Judge ducked his head in an aeffort
to escape and the ball landed on
the top of his head. He fell to the
ground like a stricken steer, the
sound of the impact carrying far
and wide.
After five minutes or so the Griff
man was able to walk to the dug
mad 1Tnfi1
ambulance could be summoned and
he was removed to st. Mary's Hos
pital. There he was found not Sc
riously injured and soothing treat
ment was administered with ex.
cellent results.
Absence q Real Handicap
without Judge in the lineup the
Griffmen were sadly handicapped. |
Joe Harris came into the infield
and Earl McNeely went to the
garden. Harris was without a first
baseman's glove, having lost his
in Cleveland, and he played through
out with his fielder's glove. Nc
Neely's batting weakness proved
costly on at least one occasion.
If Ty Cobb chooses Highlander
hurIer for today's game, Bob Veach
will get his first chance to perform
in Washington livery, going to right
field. Rice will move over to GEN.

on the bench.
Walter Johnson is booked to enter
the box today against the Tigers

house afire here, where the weather |
has turned cool.

In eleven innings. the champions
now have a fight on their hands !
to get an even break here. Ruether
and Zachary are usually effective
against the Jungaleers, SO If John /;

is possible that the Griffs will take |
their three victories out Of the
four games. But it won't be any

The champions remain in first
place. despite their defeat by the |
Tigers. The Mackmen continued to |
show signs of cracking, dropping |

delivering the goods as they were
q month ago.
