WITH TRIBE Mogridge Does Fine Job of It in Final Clash With Tygers, While Teammates Clout Ball. Score, 9 to 1. BY DENMAN THOMPSON. - LEVELAND, August .6.—The Nationals are as good—or bad, as itchers prove on any given occasion. only yesterday, when, with Mogridge in fine form, they played rings around the Tygers and won, 9 to 1, but on the two preceding days in Detroit when punk twirling was accom- at bat and on the bases, and it has been shown on any number of occasions previously. To this it seemed that the Griffs rate their pace, so to speak, according to the example set by their representative in the center of the diamond. Many games have been tossed off, ‘tis true, when the slabmen fulfilled all expectations, Mogridge himself having been the victim frequently, but as a general thing a poor day has meant a let-down all along the line. Erickeon to Toe Slab. Accepting this promise, the Nationdls’ - chances for starting well in the three- g zame set with the Indians today de- “ pend _largely_on the form displaved & by George Erickson, whose feat in 3 holding the White Sox, with errorless I 'support, to three bingles and no runs % in thirteen rounds at Chicago last Sunday, is another instance which can_be cited of the fact that the # Griffs are as strong, or weak, as their s flingers. 3" McBride's men have made a most * commendable showing against the , world champions this season, as their record of nine victories in sixteen + - battles attests, but they are sure to encounter the stiffest opposition yet Leona on this visit, the Redskins being in a w desperate mood, with but five weeks of the campaign remsining and their | s3areen |~ claim on the leadership disputed al- most daily by the Yankees. » Mogridge will not he available for »mound duty here, but, then, neither will Sothoron, who 113> worked yes- : terday, which means that Eric, Zach- - ary and Johnson will bear the hurling burden for the visitors, with Uhle, Bagby, Mails and Morton whacking » up service for Speaker today and to- morrow, judged by the way they have been staggering recently, ‘with Covi +leskie appearing in the final Sunda Assuming that the Nationals worked most of the sloppy stuff out f their ¢ systems in Detroit, they can bz count- == €d on to give the Redskins the tyugh- est kind of an argument. Mogridge in Great F |- Mogridge yesterday displayed a barrel of stuff and almost perfect gontrol, issuing only one walk, while the Nationals hammered Leonard, Holling and a recruit named Walsh for fifteen swats, totaling twenty-one bases, in ending the Tygers’ winning streak at six games. A Hopping on Leonard for' a fistful of singles, the Nationals obtained a three-run lead in the second inning. Harris was set down when Cobb chased to the scoreboard for his long drive. Shanks lined a bingle to cen- ter, moved up on Smith’'s Texas leaguer to left and scored on Miller's double over the far corner. On Mog- ridge’s high bounder to Leonard, Smith was turned back from the plate and returned to third, which Gharrity ‘had usurped and where he was re- tired. Judge's line single to right casted Smith, and Mogridge tallied on Bush's looping safety to left, Judge taking third, where he was left when Milan popped to Young. The Tigers reached Mogridge for their only counter with two down in this frame, when Blue lined a double against the fence in left and Flag- stead followed with a shot to center. The Griffs lost no time retrieving this tally, thanks to assistance from Leonard, who uncorked a wild pitch that enabled Miller to score from sec- ond after Bing had opened round three with a lazy floater to left which netted Miller would have scored yhow. as H: followed with a . SUff jolt. Stan took second on Shanks' death, and Smith was called out on g strikes. Leonard attempted to pur- ' bosely pass Gharrity, but Pat reached iover and whacked what would have ; been the fourth ball to the pitcher, | who tossed him out. : Mogridge Springs Surprise. Mogridge surprised the spectators, the athletes and himself by clouting a triple over Veach’s head in the sixth } inning. By taking his own sweet time j George easily reached second, but he ! was wise to conserve his energies for pitching, as Shanks was on first through a walk when Mogridge con- , nected, and the marker Hank toted home was the principal consideration. ¢ " The value of keen-wittedness, as di: . played by Bush, was seen in the sev- enth when the Nationals ran their to- * tal of tallies to seven. Bush started with his third safety, a stinging sin- 1 gle to left. Shanks sacrificed, a high { bounder that Jones had to dash in for. | This left third uncovered and Donie never hesitated at the midway. Leon- {.ard tried to get over and cover, but Blue's throw got past him, and only % the fact that Veach was backing up i prevented Bush from scoring _then. i He ¥id a moment later when Miller ‘collided for an ace to center. . Bing took third on a Jjolt to right by Harris, who was erased in a run-down on ! Shanks’ rap to Jones. With the double steal on the tap, Miller was safe at the plate when Bassler muffed Young's return of his peg. Washington's eighth run was register- ~d in that inning, when Gharrity’s dou- i ble down the left fleld line was followed by Mogridge’s second consecutive two- ' bagger, this one to right center, while a wholly unecessary tally was presented to them in the final, with Lefty Walsh, 2 recruit from Syracuse, on the sla . when Flagstead fumbled Miller'’s swa Bing being wild pitched to second and _scoring on a double to left by Harris. ¥ Plenty of Tygers Get On. . Following the third two Tygers got fon the runways in every session, vet none was able to get so far as third, much less score, so effectively did Mogridge prove in the- pinches. Cobb’s ,single and Milan’s muff of Veach's fly { put a couple of Bengals on in the fourth, { when Heilmann rapped into a double iplay, started by Bush. In the next {frame Flagstead got a life on Bush's i fumble and Bassler singled, but both were left, and in the sixth Mogridge fanned Biue and made Flagstead pop to | Harris after Veach and Heilmann each got safeties. {~ With two down in the seventh Young and_Jones singled in_ succession, but George gathered in Cobb’s rap to force +Young 4t third, and with two away in i the elghth Mogridge's only pass and an error by Bush was followed by Shanks’ sensational stab of Bassler's liner. After the retirement of Pinch Hitter Woodall in the ninth Young singled, but Jones whiffed and Cobb’s rap to Shanks re- i sulted in a force-out. SOUTHERN ASSOCIATION. New Orletns, 7- noogs.

Caught on the Fly CLEVELAND, August 26.—Despite the numerous errors, fine fielding plays abounded in the getaway game at Detroit yesterday. Shanks’ back- hand stab of Bassler’s terrific liner in the eighth was the gem of the bunch. Cobb_raced to deep center to rob both Milan and Gharrity of extra-base blows. Although vanquished yesterday, the Tygers still are one up on the Griff- men for the season, having won ten of the nineteen games between them. Miguel Martin, eficfent trainer of the National is mourning .the loss of a valuable timepiqce and $50 in cash that some unannounced visitor obtained from his hotel room in Detroit.

THE s : West Meets East in Tennis : TRBE HAS SCANT LEAD Ends Crucial Series With Point Ad- vantage Over Runner-Up Yanks—Browns Win. Tris Speaker and his desperate In- dians batted their way back into ifirst place in the American League yesterday in the final game of the season with the Yankees in Cleve- land. After mauling the Yank pitch- ing staff, the Tribe held the top posi- tion with a one-point advantage over its eastern rivals. The White Sox easily disposed of the Athletics, while the Browns took the measure of the Red Sox. ‘The Tribe ran roughshod over the Yanks in a 15 to 1 game. Each team scored in the first inning. but from then on it was all Cleveland. Shaw- key was chased from the slab in the fifth and Collins quit after the seventh inning. Harper, who pitched the eighth for the Yanks, hit three batters, made a wild pitch and al- lowed three hits. When struck by a pitched bal' O'Neill became engaged in a scrap with Harper and was put out of the game. Sewell made a homer with two on and Speaker got four hits in as many times at bat. Russell pitched good ball against the Athletics until the White Sox had gained a healthy lead and won his game, 13 to 6. Ail of the Chicago players hit safely, Falk and Russell getting three swats each. The Browns buried Pennock under jan avalanche of extra-base hits and beat the Red Sox, 7 to 2. The Boston bunch got to Van Gilder in the late innings for its tallies. * —_— GIANTS DRIVE FOR TOP Take Third Straight Battle From League-Leading Pirates—Reds End Phillies’ Streak. Giants, Dodgers, Cards and Reds pointed the way to their opponents yes- terday in the National Le: e. The first named scored their third straight win over the league-leading Pirates and moved to within four and one-half games of first place. The Dodgers nosed out the Cubs and the Reds broke the Phillies’ winning streak. The Cards swept their series with the Braves. ‘The Glants downed the Pirates 5 to 2. ‘Toney kept the pace setters’ hits scattered and practically won his own game by hitting a homer with two on in the second inning, when the Glants got all their tallies off Morrison. Grimes held the Cubs to five hits while the Dodgers slammed Cheeves and won, 3 to 2. Schmandt's triple in the sixth inning decided the issue. After winning four straight the Phil- lies bowed to the Reds in a 3-to-1 game. Marquard was _effective in pinches. Roush, in a collision, pulled a tendon or a week. The Cards made long hits count in drubbing the Braves, 4 to 2. McHenry made a record distance drive for the Boston fleld, when his smash in the fourth hit the leftfleld fence on the fly for a triple.
