Like any other duck, Goose Cos
lin wears just one overcoat at q
time. Yes, and he never wears
but one suit of clothes ct time.
Every time the Goose lifts the
pill over the garden wall or makes
the circuit on a vicious drive to
the distant barriers, he becomes
instantly eligible to q Worumbo
overcoat or a suit Of clothes as a
reward. And the fans begun
chanting, There's another Owe
coat for you, Goose. You wont
! be cold this winter"
But the Goose wears only one
overcoat or one suit Of clothes at
a time. Remember that.
Goose is mighty popular with
the fans. They love to see him
swing, even II he misses. They
lump to their feet when he ham,
mers one OF his honners. Now
here's a little inside stuff that
should make him even more
friends
In the second inning Of yester
days first game Goslin slammed
a homer over the right field wall,
but he gets no overcoat or suit
Of clothes for that mighty drive.
frankie Baxter, the modest
clubhouse boy, gets that cvercoat
OR. suit, just as he wishes, as a
gift. from the Griffmen's smuggling
outEieider.
No. the Goose can wear but
oneA suit or overcoat at a time.
Today the Griffs must win
nine games to cinch their. pen
nant victory I'm the American
League. They have sixteen more
games to play but need only nine
victories to trim the AS, even
though the latter were to win all
their remaining fifteen.
The Pittsburgh Pirates. who
won from the Braves yesterday,
now require but seven more vic
tories to win their National league
banner. The Giants could then
take their remaining fourteen and
still finish in second place.
Today is Ladies Day at the Grif-
fifth Stadium. with Alex Ferguson
booked to face the Chicago White
Sox. Tomorrow comes a double
header and on Sunday Eddie Col
Inns gang will make their final
appearance of the season in the
Capital.
BY splitting even in yesterdays
doubleheader, the Tigers lost an
opportunity of winning as many
games as they have lost to the
champions for the season. The
Griffs dropped the opening sloppy
exhibition, IL to 8, but came back
and grabbed the. brief nightcap, 1
to 0. That was their twelfth vic
tory out of twenty-five played with
the Jungaleers.
To assure themselves Of an edge
over the White Sox. the champions
need but to break even in the four
games in this series. They have
now won ten and lost eight of their
tussles with Collins clan.
Walter Johnson lacked his GUS
tOmary effectiveness In the open
er, and was shelled from the
mound in the seventh. Stan.
COveleSkie, on the other hand,
was exceedingly effective in the
second game and, favored by .
lucky break, hung up another
victory for himself.
The Mackmen triumphed over the
White Sox and so gained half a
game on the champions in this al
legged race for the pennant. Today
the Griffs are leading by seven
and a half games. They are likely
to gain a bit. though, in a day or so
for the Detroit Tigers have every
intention of walloping the AS out
Of spirit OF revenge for something
or other.
Yesterdays first game was a
sorry exhibition of the national
pastime. Both teams fielded poorly.
ran bases like truck horses and
hit hard. The fans seemed to en-.
JOY it until it was seen that the
Griffs were going to lose. Then
they became critical and said a
