That man was Oswald Bluege.
He made two slashing singles to
center field and walked once in
facing Shocker three times. He
drove home the Griffmen's only run.

That wallop in the Griffmens

Bluege, the brilliant fielder, has be.

bingles off Shocker's formidable
delivery simply were two added to

Of an attack by another powerful
club that was ready for business
and particularly its pitchers.
And Bluege. throughout the big
series with the Giants, was the
hardest hitter on the Washington
team. The stuff served to the
Griffmen by the Giant fingers was
close to mtd-season standard. or
actually so. This IL pointed out to
emphasize that Bluege's spring

than batting practice.

know it will do George a lot OF
good. Monday night he read In
one of the evening papers that
Harris would probably pitch Mogridge
and his nurse asked him IL the
Yankees were supposed to be easy
for left-handed pitchers. He an
swered like his old self.
That's bunk" he said. 'If Mo-
gridge works watch Meusel and
Ward and also Scotty. And II

handler
According to the box-score he fig
ured right, as Meusel, Ward, Scott
and Shocker got seven hits and
the other two were by Paschal,
who played right field in place Of
George.
OF course, q single game doesn't
prove what team may do the
rest Of the season and MCgridge

/ know the boys are always

It looks like Shocker Is going to
be one Of the first Yankee pitchers
to reach mid-season form. George
expects him to win many gains for
the club, and know for fact he
would rather back him up in the
outfild than face him as q batter.
When Shocker pitched for st.
Louis he often fattened his strike

annoyance of the entire Ruth
family, including little Dorothy. 50
for a number OF reasons we are
