»A" Griffs Seek Anotl HOPE TO BETTER MARGIN - OF HOLD ON THIRD PLACE Mogridge Rejoins Club and May Pitch Today, But His Recovery Is Offset by Loss of Goslin. Bluege Looks Good at Third. BY W. H. HOTTEL. OSTON, May 31.—The Nationals, who jumped from sixth place to ? B third, swapping places with the Indians, by twice taking the meas- ure of the Red Sox here yesterday, 7-4 and 5-3; are figuring on bet- tering their margin, which now is only a point over Detroit and not much more over Philadelphia, by grabbing both games of the double bill here today, which will wind up the present sojourn in the city of beans and culture. The Griffmen are confident of giving the Red Sox, whom they drove into last place yesterday, a couple more beatings, as they will have Walter Johnson for the first game and George Mogridge for the secon contest. Manager Milan, who has been handling his pitchers like an expert juggler ever since the team has been here, was all smiles when he learned that Mogridge had recovered and would join the club today in time to hurl in one of the games. It took five pitchers to'win the twin bill yes- terday, and Zeb was debating his hurling problem when he got the good news about Mogridge. “'ROW BRINGS SUSPENSION Ly TO COBB AND HEILMANN fused to le: Um, pulled out his watch.

BALKS IN KAMM DEAL; McWEENEY IS SEMI-PRO CHICAGO, May 31.—Douglas Mec- ‘Weeny, one of the Chicago American pitchers named to figure in the $100,- 000 deal with San Francisco for In- | fielder Willle Kamm, has balked on going to the coast league. He sigried a two-year contract yesterday with the Chicago team of the Midwest Semi-pro Association calling for more money than he was receiving from the Sox. McWeeny donned the uni- form of his new club and practiced with it yesterday.

The Nationals didn't do much to the offerings of Rip Collins in the first two innings of the second game and they did comparatively nothing to the deliveries of Russell and Ful- lerton, who followed, but what hap- pened in the third was a plenty. Bluege instigated the rally by walking and was hit to third by Harris. Rice was called out on strikes, but Judge bingled the run over and sent Harris to third. Harris scored on Brower's sigle, but Judge was held at second and a minute later forced at third on Goslin's roller to the pitcher. Gharrity hit to Pittenger, and when the 'third sacker threw far past first Brower and Goslin scampered home and Pat got all the way to the far corner. He also counted when Pittenger made anothr wild heave of Peck’s roller. Pittenger, given a third chance, threw out Brillheart. Sox in Thick of Fight. The Red Sox were in the thick of the fight all during the first game and staged incipient rallies in both the séventh and ninth rounds. Thelr run in the first frame came on Burn's sin- gle and Pratt's triple, their two in the fourth were the result of singles by Pittinger, J. Collins and O'Rourke and Pinch_ Hitter Menodky’'s double . and their final tally, in the seventh . was due to three passes with a hit mixed in. - Two walks and a single by Lei- bold, the latter coming after two were out, gave them a deserved tally . in the sixth ipning of the second game. Brillheart had gotten two. out in the ecighth before Joe ¢ doubled and when he passed the next two Erick was called to the mound. Then Ruel hit a high one, on which the Alphonse-Gaston act was played and two runs counted, as the ball bounded off Bluege's glove after he finally decided to make a wild stab for it. It was credited as a hit Pfttenger, sub for Dugan, who had a cord cut in his foot when spiked by Peck Monday, is supposed to be a great fielder but a weak hitter. He batted .427 yesterday, and made a couple of wild heaves that helned the Griffs to win the second game. That’s not living up to your “rep.” Leibold batted 1000 off Brillheart. He walked the first three times and singled on the fourth occasion. Erick stopped him, Nemo popping to Peck in the eighth. Detroit in not tied with Washingtor ‘Harris | Washington’s ber of casualties remained unchanged despite the re- covery of George Mogridge. Leon Goslin who had played sterling ball all through the se injured his arm in making a headlong slide into third in the fifth inning of the second game yesterday. A doctor who ex- amined his wrist said it was a very bad sprain at the best and that prob- ably a bone was fractured. Goslin was sent home last night to be cared for by the club physician. Ia_sddition to Goslin and Shanks, the latter in Washington with frac- tured thumb and wrist, the Nationals have three casuals here, figuring Zach as one of the trio. Bush has a charley- horse that causes him to limp and La Motte: is suffering from a spiked hoof and a badly swollen hand. Neither of the last two is likely to be avaflable for a week or more. Judge still is on the warpath with the bludgeon. He got five singles in nine legal trips to the plate yesterday and Blacky O'Rourke robbed him of another by going far out in left cen- ter and making a great catch. Oswald Bluege, who was “brought up” as a shortstop, made a fine im- pression in his initial appearance as a thirdsacker. He took care of sev- eral difficult chances and was on the paths three times. He hit once, walk- ed, and reached first on an error by displaying good speed. Goebel and Brower divided the du- ties in right fleld.

H. HOTTEL. \ OSTON, May 31—Samyouell Rice, the Nationals’ speedy center fielder, is getting reports from varied sources that he is going to B figure in a trade that will put-him in a New York Yankee uniform. Sam’s information all comes from outside of the Washington ball club. Before leaving the Capital city for the present trip, Rice received a letter from a man in New York, offering him_the rental of a desirable apartment. This Gothamite, an ex-Washingtonian, said he had it on good | authority that Sam was coming to the Yankees, and, as he would be out of New York during the summer months, would be glad to let Rice have his quarters. ° ! Sam did not take the matter seri- ously until he came here and had the same rumor repeated to him, Muddy Ruel, the Red Sox catcher, outlining a proposed deal to Rice. According to Ruel the deal was to be a thrée- cornered affair, with the Red Sox Yankees and Ndtionals as the princi- pals. Ruel INTERNATIONAL LEAGUE.

With his team well ahead, Hyman was removed from the mound after pitching four’ innings, probably to be saved for use against Holy Cross, at Worcester, Friday.

By the Associated Press. NDIANAPOLIS, May 31—Jimmy Murphy, the smifing, boyish Los Angeles, Calif.,, youth, today holds the distinction of being the only driver in the world to win the premier automobile races of two con- tinents—the French Grand Prix and the 500-mile race over the Indiana olis Motor Speedway here yesterday. This is Murphy's second year as a’ driver, as he only graduated from the grade of mechanician two years ago. By a strange coincidence, it was Capt. Eddie Rickenbacker who gave Murphy the checkered flag in token of victory yesterday—the same Murphy who rode beside Rickenbacker as a mechanician in the race here six years ago. Some of the glory and also some of the prize money that Murphy was generally believed to haye gained yesterday slipped away over night, | however. Murphy was cre@ited with holding the.lead throughout the race and winning all of the prizes offered for leadership in the various laps of the contest, but speedway officials early today announced that there had been some miscalculations, and that apparently Harry Hartz, another Los Angeles racer, who finished second, had held the lead during part of the race and was entitled to some of the lap prizes. CRASH IN RACE PROVEs There also was some question as to the authenticity of Murphy's record time, which had been announced as 5.13.30.79, which is sixteen minutes better than the record established by Relph De Palma in winning the event here in 1915, De Palma's time then being 5.33.5 Much confusion existed among the judges and timers at the 200th mile yesterday and the announcement Was made that Hartz had gone into first place. This announcement was later withdrawn, but when the official tabulation was started at the close of the race the possibility that Murphy | might have been dispiaced as leader for a time was again brought for- ward. - @ Officials said they expected to com- plete the tabulation some time today. It was not expected it would make any change in the standing of the winners, but it might affect Murphy's record and also the distribution of lap prizes which amount to $50 for each lap. Murphy was given remarkable co- operation by his pitmen. He drove the entire distance, making only three stops to change tires and re- plenish his fuel tanks. On his third stop gasoline was dumped into the tanks and a rear wheel was changed in twenty-five seonds. On a previous stop his assistants dumped in oil and gas and changed two front wheelg in y-eight seconds. Murphy knew just What his car was capable of do- ing and he pushed it to the limit, always maintaining a record-break- ing speed. . Hartz, who finished second, also is a former mechanician.

Murphy was the only driver injured during the race, although two cars were in smashups. It was all the fault of an inflated rubber cushion, which exploded while Murphy was tearing along over the brick course After the race was over Murphy climbed out of his car and limped painfully to a seat. “What's the matter, was asked.
