Frank owen, who went the route IN the
most finished manner, allowing the locals
but three hits while six were peeled OIL py
the White Sox. Three of the six hlts
credited TO the Chcagos were heaVy
smashes to the fence and were GOOD tor
three bases each, resulting in two earned
runs OF the three hits credited to the Ma
tionals, Anderson tore off double and a
single, while Hickman got the other blngle-
Anderson should have had another double
but a remarkable enchanted eaten py
Tannehiu of his line fly over third in the
fourth inning robbed him of the safe hit
and undoubtedly shut off rum as the ball
would have gone to the fence in left field.
Right on top of that play, Jimmy Callahan
pulled down a long fly from Manager
StahTs bat that was also ticketed for the
fence Another pretty play for the Chicagos

Stahl's fast bounder to right and shut off
what looked like coming trouble for the
Chicagos.
For the Nationals, Joe Stanley pulled
down line fly from Callahan's bat that
was sailing into left center and looked like
a possible home run, the catch being COM
pleted after the left fielder had covered
about fifty yards of space. The crowd
cheered Joe to the echo tor the catch. In
the fifth inning, Sullivan lit tantalizing
bounder toward third that Mil came tearing
in for and picked UP cleanly, getting the
batter at first by couple of yards. 1t was
an exceptionally pretty play and coming
from Nil, who is supposed to be weak on
short hits, was fully appreciated and loudly
applauded by the spectators
The Chicagos were the first to break the
ice, getting a runner over the plate in the
third inning. Tannehill led off with sin
gle to center and was sacrificed to second

After Charley Jones had made the catch, a
good throw TO Cassidy at second did the
rest.
The Nationals only run bobbed up in the
