MOGRiDGE TO START
LAST DETROIT GAME

DETROIT, May 23.-George Mog-
ridge is slated to face the Tigers in
the final tilt of the series here Sunday
and hopes for better luck than the
left-handed brethren who have pre-
ceded him George Dauss or Hub
Leonard is expected to oppose hf1n. 1t
will be necessary for the Griffs to bag
this contest to get as good as an eVtn
break with the Cobbmen.
Although bit wild. walking three
of; the Nationals and hitting another
whitehill was most effective in the
pinches. He famed half a dozen of
the champs.
Syingo had a perfect day at bat, his
three hits in as many times up in
cIuding a triple, double and single.
Tavener was not far behind with the
same record. although he was legally
at bat four times.
FothergiIl had to cover oodles of ter
rain to reach Peck's liner to left cen
ter in the second. He turned two
complete somersaults after grabbing
the ball, but retained his clutch on 1t.
It euchered Ra jah out of triple and
deprived the Griffs of at least one run
as Joe Harris was aboard at the time.
No intimatlOn OF the length or the
suspension imposed on Ruel for his
run-in with Umpire Hildebrand last
Wednesday was contained in the tele-
gram of notification received this
morning from President Ban Johnson.
1t is assumed it will be for the Gus
tomary three days. The bad news
from league headquarters specified
that RuefS punishment was for ''the
language he used to the arbiter. As
the strongest expletivss Muddy en-
ploys are, "hot dog" and gee. -whiz" 1t
would be interesting to know just
what expressions the. umpire objected
to in his official report.
KelIey's inexperience was evident in
the manner in which Whitehill and
Wingo stole on him in the eighth.
Both obtained commanding leads.

Hauser, their clover first baseman
and cleanup hitter. who fractured a
knee in Spring training. and appar
emily have not missed Fred Heimach.
whose dislocated shoulder Shelved this
formidable southpaw when he seemed
all set for big year on the hill. 1t
is doubtful if they can carry on at
their recent dizzy pace deprived of a
finger as yet undefeated this year,
but they still have in Bryan Harriss,
Stanwood Baumgartner and Eddie
Rommel as effective a trio of work
men as any club has, presented in the
current campaign, and recent indica-
tions are that Robert Moses Groves
is about ready to step into the breach
and supply the missing one-quarter of
the staff of four high-class twirlers
considered essential to a pennant con-
tender.
At the outset of the campaign
Groves appeared to- be a *bust" and
C. McGillicuddy was the butt of jibes
for having paid Jack Dunn 800, 900
or it's equivalent, for his release, but
of laten the ex-Oriole southpaw has
shown signs of correcting his faulty
control and If he proves an able un-
derstudy for Gray, the Baltimore
lefthander will have fully justified his
nuge purchase price. t-..
Rube Walberg. another portsider,
who has proved handy in finishing
games, also is in the offing awaiting
a chance and he will make his bid
IL Groves efforts are unsatisfactory.
Tavener Proving Worth.
With Jack Tavener on the job, the
indicated plight of the Tigers in the
incapacitation of Emory Rigney is
not likely to prove SO desperate as was
thought According to all signs, Rig
ney's days as a major Lacquer are
numbered and he is unlikely ever
again to be the regular Bengal short
stopper, although he may remain
with the team all season to be used
at times
Rigney's trouble is an old complaint
of the hip, which seriously handicaps
him In fielding ground balls to his
right. According to Manager Cobb it
is feared that Rigney's condition is
permanent, although everything has
been done to remedy the ailment, in
cluding treatments by the country s
foremost specialists.
Tavener came to the Tigers from
Fort Worth of the Texas League,
where he, earned a fine reputation.
His failure to shine when first thrust
into the line-up is attributed to stage
fright, but IL his performances against
the Griffmen are a criterion of his
true worth, the youngster is due to
become a real star, in a defensive
way, at least. ~,
Rid Of his nervousness, the recruit
has been covering that short field
like the early morning dew. His work
is Of the brand that should inspire a
faltering team, particularly the
pitchers, who naturally are discour.
aged when hits seep through the
inf1eld from whacks that Tavener has
been mailing.
He seems to go to both sides equally
we'll and gets ball away as fast as
Oss Bluege, than which there could
be no higher praise. II the Tigers
brace as they are confidently ex-
pected to, Taverier Will be due for a
generous share Of the credit for it.

Friday will find the champions back
on their own sward entertaining the
Boston Red Sox, who will remain for

Saturday, Memorial day. Then comes
a Sabbath setto with the Mackmen
before the Nationals hike to New
York for four days, prior to long
home stand in which the Western
entries will make their initial appear
ance of the season in the Capital.
With the crowding of a whole week
full of contests into but five days, the
Nationals for the first time this sea
son will find their pitching program
interfered with. Having a staff COM
posed for the most part of veterans
who require plenty of time between
efforts to rejuvenate their aged mus
cles, Manager Harris at the outset of
the campaign inaugurated policy of
using five huriers in rotation, a pro-
ceeding he has not varied from in the
six weeks which have elapsed since
the barrier was sprung.
This plan has permitted each of the
regulars no less than four days rest
between assignments, and that the
scheme has worked we'll is attested
by the column of games won and lost.
How they will fare with shorter in
tervals separating assignments will be
demonstrated next week, for they will
be required to take their turn with
out regard for the period of recupera-
tion permitted.
Either Ogden, Marherry or Gregg,
| considered more eligible for the pur-
pose than Russell or Kelley might be
given a, chance to start games for the
first time this season during the
period of game congestion, but, ac
cordfng to Helmsman Harris, he is
not considering any such idea.
This means that, following the GUS
tomary procedure, with Coveleskie op-
posing the Macks in Washington

days, while Johnson. Zachary, Mo

a trio of afternoons of idleness before
subsequent daily appearances.
Three days of rest usually Is consid-
cred sufficient for twirler in these
times to regather his energies, al
though 1t was nothing out Of the or
dinary for the boXmen Of yore to

young pitcher, who is reported as
likely to be out of the game for some
three weeks as the result of frac-

Red Spider In Craighead

An attack of red spider on cotton
has been reported from Craighead
county by County Agent t. W. Bailey.
The red spider is a pest of cotton
which may cause severe injury during
a dry summer; considerable damage
having been done to cotton in some
sections of the state during the dry
season of last year by this pest
The red spider feeds on the lower
side of cotton leaves although the
first evidence of infestation is shown
by blood red blotches on the upper
surface, according to Dwight Iseley,
entomologist of the College of Agri-
culture. As they become more heavily
infested, entire leaves become rusty
and red, and later brown and dry.
Prevention consists Of keeping the
margin of fields free from such weeds
as pokeberry and jimson weed and
weeds about the yard Infestations
usually occur on the margins Of fields
where there are weeds or around
stumps where the weeds are allowed
to grow.
When cotton growers are equipped
for dusting, a fairly satisfactory con-
troll may be secured by the finely pow
dered or resublimed sulphur dust and
is effective only at high temperatures
according to Mr.. Isely. Good results
have been secured by applying the sui
phur at the rate Of 10 pounds per
acre during hot weather.
The most effective spray for red
spider is a solution of yellow laundry
soap used at the rate of four pounds
to fifty gallons of water. Hot water
must be used in dissolving the soap
Potassium sulphide, at the rate of
two pounds to fifty gallons of wtaer,
is equally good if it can be secured
and is easier to get into solution. The
Extension Service has published a cir
cular on the red spider which can be
secured through the county agents.
