Griffs Open Crucial Set With Tygers Tomorrow : Loss of Blue Blow to Bengals - PLAY FIVE GAMES IN FOUR DAYS WITH THE BENGALS Bucks Now Only Oue Contest Back of Cobbmen and Two in Rear of Yanks—Mogridge and Harris Star in Taking Final From Indians. BY DENMAN OTHER of those crucial series A four days, a double-header bein, As a result of the 1-0 setback yesterday to get an edge in the th Tygers were meeting rebuffs, the Griffmen now are only two games back of the pace-setting New Yorker: a single contest, a margin which may be even further reduced if the Athletics today repeat the dose administered to the Cobbmen yesterday. On past performances the Buc! majority of the clashes in this final 14 games played to a decision thus far the Nats have accounted for nine, with only five going to the Cobbmen better than pull up to even terms with the visitors, based on their stand- ing today, the Harrismen will have to bag four of the impending quintet of skirmshes. That’s a lot to expect, at in a pinch such as this if it hopes to be perched at the top when the final whistle blows. Games grabbed from the Tygers. as well as the Yanks, rate double in value to the Griffs, who climb while thelr foes are falling. Harris and his henchmen are fully aware of the importance of the approaching battles, and as Cobb and his cohorts have some well defined ideas of their own as to where the honor and honorariums attending a champion- ship should go, the ensuing five days should produce plenty of pyro- technics, Harris Supporta Mogridge. George Mogridge was compelled to share the limelight with his youthful boss in the scintillating shut-out victory he achieved over the Indians yesterday, for it was due to the enterprise and dash of Harris on the base lines that the lone tally of the matinee was regis- tered, but the veteran deserved even better offensive support to match his sterling box work. Getting a verdict over Joe Shaute, top twirler of the Tribe, fresh from recording a pair of victories in one Series over the champion Yankees to boost his total of wins for the Season to 18, was an achievement in itself to be proud of. but the manner in which he accomplished it refiects all the more glory on the venerable forkhander. Mogridge yielded only two blows to the Indians, who boast the highest team swatting record in the circuit. One of these was a single in the second by Burns, who Wwas moored to the initial sack, and the other a two-ply shot fired in the fourth by Speaker, who was stranded at the midway while his pair of | clean-up hitters hoisted flies. The only other alien to reach the paths was Speaker again in the seventh. | when he drew the only free ticket | donated by Mogridge, and Tris on | this occasion lost a race to second | with Ruel's arm. | Bucky’s Base Ranning Factor, Brilliant base running by Harris | enabled the Nationals to break a| deadiock that had existed up to the | sixth inning. Bucky pumped a line single to left for a starter and when | Rice dumped a sacrificial bunt | toward the box Harris drilled on to third, Which had been left unpro- tected and avrived safely with a hook slide under Burns' heave to Lutzke. Goslin stiff-armed a tap to the left | ©f the mound, for which both Lutzke | and J. Sewell started. The former| took the ball and when he fired to | Burns, Harris, who was playing off | third as far as safety permitted, | dashed for the plate, which he reached | ahead of Burns' throw to L. Sewell. One golden opportunity, aside from the unsupported singles of Rice, Bluege and Peck, preceded the prof- itable sixth. This was in the fourth when, with two gone, Goslin blis- fered’a safety to center and romped to third when Judge lined a double against the right field fence close to the top, but the pair of them were left when Bluege rolled to Lutzke. Another chance was afforded in the seventh, when Bluege started with a bingle and raced to third on Ruel's safety, but Muddy was forced by Peck, Mogridge fanned and McNeely rolled to Fewster. Harris evolved his second swat of the soiree in round eight and moved | up when Rice again sacriticed, only to be stranded when Shaute slipped 4 third strike over on Goslin, and Judge’s liner traveled straight to Joe Sewell.

McNeely displayed perfect judgment on Joe Sewell’s offering in the second. It was a low liner Earl had to sprint forward to reach. Mogridge accomplished a rather notable feat when he whiffed Speaker in the initial session. Spoke is vic- | timized on strikes only about a dozen times a season. Judge's wallop in the fourth was a vicious swat that missed clearing the right fleld wall by only about & yard. The ball fell dead at the feet of Sum- ma, who returned it so quickly Goslin was compelled to pull up at third. Fewster got all tangled up with himself in fielding Peck’s slow roller in the fifth and Rajah was credited with a hit when Chick took a header. ‘Rhere will be no work for the Na- tionals tomorrow, but a set of five battles with Detroit will be opened Saturday, with Tuesday and Wednes- day, open dates in the schedule, be- ing utilized for disposing of one post- ponement and a tie from the second visit of the Tygers here.

One contest now separates New York from De- troit and the Tygers from the, Nationals, who, in turn, show the way to the Browns by three games. . The Browns wound up theit last engagement at the Yankee Stadium with a pleasant taste in their mouths, as they downed the champions by a score of 8 to 5. sluggers. Ty Cobb ransacked his pitching cupboard in vain for a recipe with which to cook the White Elephant and the Athletics registered an 11- to-5 triumph. Cleveland found two hits too lean a diet on which to raise even a soli- tary run, while Washington pushed across the tally necessary to glve Mogridge a 1-to-0 shut-out. Speaker was the only Indian to reach second base. Robertson of Chicago had all the breaks against him in losing a 4-to-3 decision to Boston after holding the Red Sox to four hits. The White Sox twirler's wildness proved his un- doing. Four of Huggins’ pitchers failed to stop Sisler’s The National League race today is out of the cut-and-dried class as a result of Pittsburgh’s second succes- sive victory over the Glants, this time by a score of 3 to 1. The Pirates now are within five games of overtaking the pacemakers. It was Dazzy Vance's turn to pitch and, of course, the Cincinnati Reds’ cue to lose, which they did by the neat score of 5 to 0. The shut-out was Vance's eighth straight win and his twentieth of the season. He al- lowed but threo sparsely scattered singles and fanned eight batters, rais- ing his total strike-outs for the ye: to 177.

BY JOHN B. FOSTER. opens up another gap. This time it is Blue, the Tyger to the line-up for the remainder of / YORK, August 15.—Fate must have it in for Ty Cobb’s infield As soon as he gets one position filled with a player that appeals to him and promises to plug a hole, accident comes along and first baseman, who probably is lost the Eastern trip. It is not such a prolonged affair, as it ends this month, but it may be long enough to play the mischief with the Tyger attack and knock them down a few points in the pennant race. Were Blue out for only two or three games it would be bad enoug! But it appears that he will not be able to get back in the game for some time. His speed and his bat alw: have been factors against the Eas and the substitution of a plaver at this stage on a team which depends as much on good first base play as Detroit does, is damaging. If Detroit has stamina this is the time when it must show it. It could lose an outfielder with 1 damage than a first baseman, for, like most teams, it doesn't carry a crack sec- ond string first basemen That double header, which St Louis lost to the Yankees the other day at the start of their August in- vasion of New York, was a repeti- tion of other experier the Browns have had here. The Yanks had won five games from the Browns and lost three to them at Yankee Stadium prior to the last trip of St. Louis to | the East. On the first day of their! last invasion the Browns lost a dou- ble header to New York, making the total of victories seven to three in favor of the Yankee Tne wallop that St. Louis again re- ceived is but another instance of the inability of the Browns to make tt goal when they seem set for it. . You an't win a championship unless you can win at least half your games on foreign territory. As both major league races stand now, there is not the slightest proba- bility that eeither of them will be won with 100 victories. It is probable that both will be won with less than 95 victories. That would not be the low-witer mark for a sin- gle league, but if both races are de- cided by less than 95 victories the ear 1924 will have set a new record b The Glants seem to have the oppor- tunity to win by a larger margin th the Yanks or whoever wins in t American League. But if the continue to be raided by Pitt there will begin to be doubt as to ew York's chances. The Pirat would gain a whole plum pudding if they could clean up the whole York series and follow up by similar performances against some of the other Eastern clubs. But that's where the West usualiy falls down. Even when they beat the Giants, they don't its burgh usually maul the rest of the East the way the Giants do. Branch Office DISTRICT NATIONAL BANK Conn.
