Led on by "Win" Mercer the Senators
captured the last game Of the series from
Chicago yesterday in the windy city by the
score of to 8. The black-haired twirler
was at his best and was almost a complete
puzzle to the White Sox, his only slip-up
being in the fifth inmng, when a home
run drive by Mertes sent three runs over
the plate. After that rally the Chicagos
once more slipped back into the hard-go-
ing class and never again saw the home
plate Back Of Mercer the Senators fielded
brilliantly an error by Clarke and one by
Coughlin being the only misplays charged
against the Washington aggregation. Lit
tie Jack Farrell and Billy Clingman got
back into their well-known lightning form
and accepted all OF the numerous chances
which came their way. With the stick the
Senators sized up well. making hits when
they were needed, Farrell. Coughlin and
Clingman being the leaders, although
timely double by DUNCAN sent in one OF
the runs.
The Chicago team also put up a rood
game in the field but in the face Of Mercer's
good twirling their work looked poor
Katoll was on the rubber for the White Sox.
and this time continued until the end. Cal,
lahan. batting for him In the ninth. sent

the third man went out before. he could
score.
Neither side scored in the first two in
nings. but in the third Washington took
up the running by scoring one tally.

| of first and was run down. Billy Cling
man. nothing daunted by this poor start
also singled and went to third on Mercer's a
double. While Waldron was being thrown
out at first Clingman crossed the plate.
In the fourth inning two more runs were
hung up by the Senator's DUNCAN was the
first Senator to walk to the plate and, as
passed to first. Clarke followed with rip
ping single and DUNCAN skipped to third.
On Grady's out at first Clarke went to
second. and when Foster hammered a beau
tiful single into left field DUNCAN and
Clarke hurried across the home plate
After the senators had been retired run
less IN the fifth the Chicagos pulled them
selves together for rally. and by some
good hitting tied up the score. After two
were out Dummy" Hoy sent a hot one
over third that Bill Coughlins best efforts
failed to impede. Hoy Immediately made a
dash for second and got there notwith-
standing good throw by Clarke and quick
work by Farrell. Jones, the next man up
looked dangerous and he was allowed to
walk. "Sandow" Mertes followed with a.
drive to left field which Foster couldn't get
near. and when the ball was recovered the
batter had crossed the plate and the score
had been tied with three runs
But that was Chicago's last effort at run
scoring, and ciphers were dished out to
them for the rest of the game.
In the eighth Manning's men went to
work again. and this time "cinched" the
game Waldron started the pleasant work
with single toward third and went to Sec
ond as Hartman made Wild throw to Is
bell after 'Wally'' had crossed the bag
JACK Farrell then drove out sizzling
double and Waldron scored. DUNCAN kept
up the good work with another double
