CHICAGO, June 4.-Smith's superb pitch
ing proved too much for the Washington
Senators yesterday. and the men from the
capital city went down to their third defeat
in the series with the local team by the score
of toll After the first inning the local
slabman had the visitors at his mercy at all
times and held them safe. Patten. the man
who has always been hoodoo to Comls-
keys players was In the box for Washing
ton, and Donovan confidently counted on
carrying off the game. 1t looked ike ne
would have his hopes fulfilled in the early
part of the game, for the hoodoo was still
in force. but In the fourth inning the
slaughter of the innocents began, ana the
White Sox fell on Patten for two runs In
the fifth they followed with another, and,
Just to be sure of things they secured two
more in the sixth.
1t was well that Smith proved too much
for the Senators, for after the sixth Patten
again gained control of the situation, and
not a Chicago man got past second base.
It looked at the start of the game as
though the Senators were going to do busi-
ness for the first two men up led off with
singles and soon a run was recorded, but
that was all that could be obtained. After
that Washington was as helpless as Gala
hans new baby girl in the hands of Smith.
Several times the visitors got men on first.
and a few got to second. but not a man
reached third base during the remaining
eight innings. Washington certainly proved
that the batting department of the team
must be improved before the team can hope
to carry off many games this year. Hits
were made. but all singles. and they were
so few and far between that they counted
for little
The teams will finish their series today,
and then Washington is on its way.
Coughlin and Moran started off for Wash
ington with singles; Clarke was out at first,
and Setback flied to center, scoring Cough
lin. Mccormick fouled out Chicago was
retirded in one. two. three order. Holmes.
Jones and Callahan being the victims.
In the second inning neither team was
able to tally for Washington. Donovan and
Stahl got to first, but no further. while the
Chicago men went out in one, two, three
order again.
A single by Moran was the best the Sena-
tirs could do in the third. Chicago got
Holmes as far second base but he died
there on Callahan's fly.
In the fourth Stahl got to second on a
base on balls and wild throw. but could
advance no more. Chicago made two runs
in its half on a double by Green and singles
by Donahue and Tannehill.
1t was the same old story for Washington
in the fifth. kittredge singled but was
forced by Patten. who was treated in the
same manned a moment later by Coughlin.
Chicago's run in the fifth was made on an
error by Moran. another by Mccormick and
Davis single.
1t was the first three batters out for
Washington in the sixth, and then Chicago
made two more. Donahue drew four balls,
Tannehill was out pitcher to first. Sullivan
landed safe and Donahue scored. Sullivan
came home on Holmes hit a few seconds
later. This ended the scoring. Neither
team was dangerously close to registering
thereafter, and the game ended with the
Washington team again at the bottom of
the percentage table Score:
