 By pitching a brilliant game of against Nashville yesterday afternoon, Louis Polchow redeemed himself in the eyes of those who have roasted him.. Poichow was in excellent form and easily beat Newt Fishers bunch to the tune Of 5 and 2, one of their runs being scored on Stickneys error.
 Polchow seemed. to be using every art known in the pitching department. lie had a world of speed, splendid control and gave only three bases on balls. strik- ing out eight Fishermen. The strikeouts came at times two in succession and at critical periods when a scratch hit would have meant run.
 The Black Sox gave him support that would have been errorless with the ex- ception of Stickney. Their hitting was in their old form, Hermann being very different from Billy Campbell. They got eleven hits off Hermann while Nashville only got five scattering ones oil Polchow.
 Molesworth led the hitting with two- bagger and two singles. Ike Durett got a two-bagger and a timely single and Stickney got a couple of hits.
 Kanzier, the first man to face Herr mann, sent a fly to right field which O'Connell promptly dropped, Kanzler making the bag all right. Spratt waited and walked, Molesworth died on a hit to Hermann. Whistler smashed one out and Kanzler tried to score. but was cut off at the plate. Then Spratt and Whistler tallied on Durretts long hit and Durrett came home on Stickney's hit. the runs m Whistler and Durrett being earned. Hermann put a stop to the fun by strik- ing out Clark and the inning was over with three runs to the good for the Black Sox.

In the third Whistler was out on hit to Cargo, Durrett hit safe. Stickney was out on fly to Cooper and Clark retired the side.

  | from him.. Busch was out on a hit to Hermann. Polchow hit one that looked as if 1t would roll out of the diamond before 1t reached third base.
