Oscar Don- aldson, the swarthy outflelder obtained from Tampa, was shipped to Shreve- ort a couple of weeks ago as the first of the pair and Brillheart makes the ond. The latter goes with a string tached and will be recalied in the 1l if he makes suitable progress in ac- quiring the control which deserted him this season and locates the fast ball that has mysteriously slipped from his reper- toire. To ol George Mogridge belongs & large share of credit for the fact that the Griffmen today are not practically tied with the Red Sox for celiar honors, as the lanky left-handed veteran twirled in euperb style to earn a 2-1 verdict over Alec Ferguson in as pretty a mound duel as has been staged at American League Park this season. The veteran vieided only five bingies all told and only one of the hostiles got beyond first base. It was Ira Flagstead, who walloped far over Goslin's head for the circuit in the fourth inning, thereby sav- ing the Hose from being blanked. Sparkling work afield, especially by Rajah Peckinpaugh, aided Mogridge o eftectively that only two of the hostiles Were left on the bases Mogridge and Peck do not get all the credit. however, for their efforts were confined to defense, and there were a trio of athletes who performed | Wi some highly essential stunts with the bludgeon. Sam Rice was the chief demon with the flail, initiating both of the tallies with triples. The first of these was a crack to left center in the opening round. Joe Judge then ! came along with the safety that cash- #d the tally. The second developed in the eighth, a sh to right that bounded past Flagstead to the wall. Peck lifted a short fly to Joe Harrls that Rice could not attempt to score on, and Ferguson slipped a third rike over on Goslin. Judge loomed as too dangerous to dally with at this Juncture and he was purposely passed to bring up Ruel. This may have im- pressed critical fans as a foolish mov. for Ruel has a far better batting rec- ord for the season than Judge, but; the latter was figured to have an edge, in as much as he 1s a left-hand hitter and Ferguson, having been a battery mate of Ruel's, knew just how to fool him. Muddy demonstrated he was mistaken by shunting a single to center that brought In the decisive marker. ON THE SIDE LINES Johnson or Zahniser was expected to go to the firing line against the Red Sox in the third game of the series this afternoon. Chance had| Piercey, Fullerton, Quinn and Mur- ray to plck from. Seelng n bang-up gooa game of ball squeezed into one hour and thirty-eight minutes made a big hit with the falr-sized crowd of fans. A mreat majority of the battles here this season have exceeded two hours in length. Nelther Evi nor Altrock, who was in the coacher's box, was wide awake in the fifth, when the former singled to left. Joe Harris fumbled the ball and Evans could easily have reached the midway if he hadn't turned back. Goslin lost mo time retrieving Flag- stead’s wallop in the fourth, but the former Tyger's speed enabled him 10 beat Peck's relay to the plate. Mogridge easily disposed of the pinch hitters called on by Manager Chance, Al Devormer and Val Plel- nich both popping up. Goslin_wans considerably exercised when Dineen called him out on strikes with Rice roosting on the far corner in round 8, but it appeared from the press box that the umps ruled correctly. It was a fast ball that started for Goose’s bean and made him duck, but bent over the corner of the platter. —_— SOUTHERN ASSOCIATION. R. N atoriov—Heibaus and “MilisF: ‘Pulton aad ‘Hungling.

EFEATED in the final of the 1922 championship by 6 and 5, Richard Walsh of New York today Standish cup, emblematic of Gionship, carried back to the metropolis the the 1923 national public links cham- and also title banner to be raised soon over the clubhouse at an Cortland Park, where he developed his game. Walsh last season lovst'xo Eddie Held by the same margin he yesterday defeated J. Stewart Whitham of New York to win the championship at East Potomac Park in its second year of competition. Consistently outputting and out- approaching his fellow townsman, Walsh from the very start of the thirty-six-hole finul never gave Whitham a chance. Going into the lead on the first hole, Walsh did not lose a hole until the thirteenth, Where he underplayed his pitch shot. Five up at the end of the first nine, Walsh won the next three. At this point It looked very much like a run- away for the ninetoon. year-old Goth- amite, but Whitham steadied down and won four of the next five holes to become only 4 down going to the elghteenth. Walsh won the elght- eenth. Repetition of Morning. The afternoon round was practi- 11y & repetition of the mornink, with | Walsh always holding the upper hand, although Whitham made a deter- mined rally on the first nine to get' within striking distance. He did win i two holes of the first nine after los- ing the second to a birdie 2, to turn only 4 down, but a brace of birdies | by ‘Walsh on the tenth and eleventh | The |18 put him 6 up with 7 to go. twelfth and thirteenth were halved and Walsh closed the door to any hope of a late rally by Whitham when he laid his pitch shot at the 125-yard thirteenth hole within three and a half feet of the pin. played a splendid shot five feet be- yond the hole, but falled to hole the putt. As his ball came to a rest on the Iip of the cup Whitham reached across with his putter, scooped Walsh's ball into the hole and it wae {all over. Deadly accurate work around the putt- ing greens and a splendid ability to keep his ball straight down the course won _the title for Walsh, who is cm- ployed in the circulation department of the Wall Street Journal. Conceded to be a longer driver than Walsh, Whitham failed to show any marked superiority in this department, and any edge he may have had on the steady Walsh was more than made up by the uncanny ac- curacy of the approach putts and chip shots of the winner. Loser Hits Long Ball. Whitham hits a_tremendous ball with the fron clubs. He is perhaps longer than any other of the goifers who com- peted In the championship, but East Potomac Park is so bullt that if the long ball is not straight it does not do Whitham also | the hitter much good. So Whitham found himself frequently in trouble, especially as he early developed a tend- ency to top his tee shots. ‘Walsh, on the other hand, missed only one drive all day—that coming on the seventh hole in the afternoon. Many times, when Whitham was inside him, Just off the edge of the green, Walsh laid the ball dead, and only once did he miss a holable putt—on the third hole in the afternoon, where he gave Whit- ham a half when he blew a two-footer over a curling expanse.
