Owing to the exceptional pitching ability
or Walsh, the Chicagos found an easy prop
ositfon In the Senators yesterday, captur
ing the last game of the series by the score
of 8 to 0. Just how good Mr.. Walsh was
can be CLEANED from the fact that but
twenty-eight Senators went to the bat in
the nine innings. For eight innings but
three men faced Walsh in regular order,
but in the ninth George Davis fumbled ia
cobsens grounder, and this allowed the ex-
ira man to go to the plate.
But two safe hits were placed on the SEN
atorial side of the ledger, doubles by Stahl
and Cassidy, good stops by Tannehill and
Donahue preventing further safe hits. In
the third Stahl led off with a long fly over
Jones head in center and brought up at
second. After Kittredge had fouled out to
Mcfarland, a splendid catch by the latter.
Jacobsen hit a long fly into left, and Stahl
was thrown out at second before he could
regain the bag Stahl might have saved
himself under good conditions, but the
ground was so slippery that it seemed i'm
possible for him to put on brakes and slow
up.
In the fifth Joe Cassidy whipped a beau
tiful double into left field, and thought he
would try to duplicate his performance of
to be the sucker in this instance, Nc
Farland was wide awake and easily threw
him out to Tannehill. These were the only
two chances in which it looked as though
Washington might score.
Southpaw Jacobsen pitched what can
easily be called good game but compared
with Walsh's it lacked luster. Eight hits
were made by the White Sox. six of which
We're of the clean order The two runs
scored by Chicago in the fourth inning can
be charged against Moran, as had he held
the ball an easy double play would have
resulted and no runs been made, but the
runs hung up in the eighth were the result
of good, hard hitting by the visitors.
Outside of the work of the twirlers the
playing of Drill and Coughln was the fea-
ture of the game. Drill is new to the outer
garden, and IN going after three flies yes
terday he misjudged every one when II
seemed as though the hits would land safe
Lew would jump in the air about four feet
and pull them down in safey, to the great
astonishment and delight of the spectators.
Coughlin had two assists and a put-out,
every play of the ringer" sort. In the
fifth inning Holmes tried to pilfer third, but
a quick throw by Kittredge to Coughlin
placed him on the retired list. The throw
was low, and in going after the ball Cough
lin fell. He chung to the ball. however, and
swung around and touched "Ducky' before
he could reach the sack. 1t was certainly
a wonderful exhibition of agility.
scored, although Jacobsen got out of
deep hole in the third by striking out Davis,
with three runners on the bases In the
fourth Green lambasted a curve up against
the right field fence, and Donahue was safe
on MOran's muff of his liner. Green had
slid away from second when the ball was
hit, and found it slow going getting back
but Moran couldn't recover the sphere and
he finally reached the bag in safety. Isbell' s
neat sacrifice moved both runners up a
| base, and Tannehilrs hot drive over third
sent them both home. The next two bat
tiers went out on easy chances.
In the eighth the Chicagos placed the
game in cold storage by scoring three runs
Jones led off with a single, but Davis best
was a fly to Setback. Green singled into
left, and Donahue got safe one into right

for two bases, and Green and Donahue
chased home. Tannehill and Mcfarland
were easy outs. closing the inning.
The attendance was very fair, when the
weather is taken into considerat ton, about
1000 spectators being in the grand stand
and bleachers.
