To Sape Nationals
Scored Twice in the Ninth, But NIL SEM d
High Fly to Left and All was
Over-The Score.

CHICAGO. May 24.-Like Phaeton or
old, we failed, but failed in a great at
tempt. and the White Sox splotched
their snowy uniforms with Washing
tens gore by 3 to 2
Mil. whose name being interpreted
meaneth nothing, was still less. He was
we may say, minus infinity when the
crucial point arose, and in the nihth
inning he died with Two on bases as
easily as IL Doc Osler had gotten busy
with a sponge. It's a good thing none
Of those In our camp had their wives
with them, for it would have been
peevish and fretful hubby who would
have met little wifey's glad smile upon
returning to the hotel. And anybody
would, under the same circumstances,
have had right to act disagreeably-

within an ace OF slipping away from
Owen, the boss, and playing baseball.
Unfortunately, they were caught just
as they were ducking through the back
gate.
Mullen was sent in to bat for Town
send in the ninth inning. but his fly was
asphyxiated by DundGn. Then came the
young man Jones. who right neatly

thing into left field, Loud plaudits
from the multitude, which had all the
| kindly feeling for the Nationals which
| a warm-hearted hangman has for the
condemned. Hill gave up to Fielder

| JUstifying the hopes Of his numerous
student admirers present, he belted
| two-timer to left. which sent Jones 10
third. Owen took a little Santos Du-
mont trip into the clouds and Huelsman
| walked. More excitement among the
nervous fans.
| Cassidy followed. His previous hits
| had been no more timely than the arrlV-

ready In the parlor. In this case he was
first aid TO the injured and sent a medal
winner to right, which scored Jones and
StahI and sent Huelsrnan to third. Toe
much is a plenty, and the rather turbu-
