Chicago made a runaway race OF yeSter-
days game with the Senators, getting OF
with a good lead In the first inning, and
the White Sox were never headed thereaf-
ter, winning out by the score of 8 to 3.
Katoll should have pitched the game, but
Manager Griffith decided that Chicago
should be credited with at least one game
in the present series. and went on the rub
Der himself. ''Grif' was raped pretty
hard throughout the game, the Senators
outbatting the VIII lite Sox. but the clever
twirler kept the hits scattered SO that they
were wasted in numerous instances. Back
of Griffith the Chicago men put up a mas
terful game. the work Of Shugart bordering
On the sensational. This veteran shortstop
and the other old-timer, Billy Clingman,
divided the honors of the day, several of
their stops and throws being about the
prettiest witnessed on the home grounds
this season.
Case Patterns last years hoodoo to the
Chicagos has evidently gone glimmering,
as the White Sox once more pounded his
curves good and hard, the nine safe hits
netting total of twenty-three bases. Pat

Stocking lads fan the air, but his four
bases on balls were costly so that his davis
work can be put in the mediocre class.
Waldron did the best batting for the SEN
ators getting three pretty singles. but the
batting sensation of the day was Case Pat
tens home run over the left field fence
1t was beautiful drive but Case has made
but three or four safe hits this season,
and when the tremendous drive material
lied the spectators were first aStounded
and then broke into hearty cheers. Grit
ffths home run went to the club house, but
he was helped over the plate through out
side interference, boy at the Senators
resting place throwing the ball to DUNCAN,
which necessitated Patten getting into the
box before the sphere was again in play.
While this was being done ''Grif'' was leg

In the first inning Chicago chalked up
four runs, which cast a gloom over the
onfookers. Hoy soaked out a triple to

struck out, Shugart singled, scoring Nc

Clarke at second. Coughlin and Clingman
then followed with singles, sending Foster
over the plate.

final two runs. After Mcfarland had gone
out to Grady unassisted, Isbell hit to the
right field fence: Shugart hit In the same
direction, striking the club house yeranda,
and was good for three bases. Sullivan
went out on a long fly to Waldron, Shugart

off color, but as he didn't discriminate in
his mistakes neither side was hurt thereby
