House has to hit RHP. That's one of the two things he was to work on in Rochester. Besides, the numbers say that Toronto should bring in a LH relief pitcher next. If not, then Bucky Harris, the great Nats manager, started Curly Ofgen and replaced him with George Mogridge for nothing. For the reasoning, go back to my account of the 1924 Nationals game by game, and look at Game 7, 2024 World Series.

He had George Mogredge, his south-paw ace warming up under the LF grand-stand. Ogden was supposed to pitch only to the leadoff hitter, Freddie Lindstrom. However, Ogden struk out Lindstrom, so Bucky let Ogden pit to the second batter. Ogden walked FRamnkie Frisch, future Hall of Famer. Then Harris brought in George Mogridge, the "bulk" pitcher. Mogridge, a 35 year-old lefty, had gone 16-11 that season, with a 3.76 ERA. Mogridge pitched six innings, shutting down Frisch until John McGraw pulled him.)
