But this season al- ready has proved unusual in many ways, even the weather man was invited to yesterday's festivities and he was accompanied by Miss Spring, who enjoyed the first con- tribution. $ Tom Zachary and George Mog- ridge, former Washington veter- ams, recorded two good pitching performances. , Zachary hurled for the St. Louis Browns and gave them victory over the White Sox when he allowed only four hits. Mogridge, performing for the Braves, granted Philadelphia’ only dacobson’s four base one of 12 safeties reg- five to one victory over the White Sox.
