SECOND GAME
WINDY CITY ARTISTS WIN BY
CLOSE SCORE
Visitors Play Fast, snappy Ball and
Capture Second Of Series-Final
Games to Be Played Fri-
day and Saturday


BY a margin Of one lone run the Chi
cago Nationals succeeded in bringing
Joy to the heart of Frank Selee during
their second seance with the Seraphs
on the Chutes park diamond yesterday
afternoon. A crowd Of several thou
sand enthusiastic fans were out to
support the hopes of Los Angeles in the
pennant race this season, but owing to
the "whims of fate" their combined
efforts proved unavailing.
Young Harry Goodwin was given an
opportunity to demonstrate his worth
against the fierce and omniverous big
leaguers, and he proved a trifie better
in action than even his most ardent
admirers predicted. Fact is Morley
has two youngsters hard to beat in
loren and Goodwin. Goodwin pitched
the entire game for the Seraphic
legions, and he had fine control at the
critical moments throughout the course
of the test. The Chicago infield pos
sessed trifle more snap and effective
ness than on Saturday and the three
double plays were clean and satisfy
ing.
Joe Tinker at short displayed mid
season form and everything that came
his way was gobbled UP without fail
and the responsibility handed over to
Frank Chance on the first cushion. DR..
Jimmy Casey, Tinker, Evers and
oil xxyfYar
and the Morleyites were unable to bat
ter down the defenses.
The Two Pitchers
During the first four innings Jake
Weimer slammed them over for the
men from Chicago town. In the fifth
period his place was taken by Wicker,
both men being found for a total of
eight hits. These two slant artists are
considered the best that Chicago has
to offer, but neither showed particu-
larly brilliantly yesterday, the young
ster Goodwin displaying better form in
the box than the high priced leaguers.
Fight Over Decision
In the eighth inning a slight diversion
was offered when Frank Chance be-
came peevish at one of Umpire Billium
Setley's decisions. With two men down.
Flood poked slow one down to Joey
Tinker, and that eastern worthy shot
the leather over to Chance. The gen.
tleman with the indicator and the dull
Get tones avowed that Mr.. Flood was
safe, whereupon Mr.. Chance wandered
in Setley's direction, saying certain
things the while the import of which
was not open to doubt or wrong in
depreciation. Said remarks were di-
rected at Setleys family tree and that
gentleman himself. Perceiving that
the umpire was not particularly sus-
ceptible to this mode of procedure,
Chance reached for william and coun-
tered lightly with right and left But
William deprecated this childish atti-
tude, yet he did not consider it neces-
sary to discipline Chance for his physi-
cal culture practice. Wise William.
First for Los Angeles
1t was in the third that the first am
BILE around the sacks arrived for Los
Angeles. Arthur Ross opened hostili-
ties, passing a torrid one down to
Joseph Tinker, but that gentleman
made great one-handed stab and
Ross was unable to connect with the
first cushion. Spies slammed one to
Chicago's rotund little third baseman
and should have been pensioned, but
Chance was a verst or so off the tin
when Spies established connection.
Heinie tempted fate and Delayed his
helm for second, and Johnny Killing
passed the sphere down to Tinker, who
was guarding the second station. But
Selee's clever little shortstop failed to
pinch the ball and Spies was again
advanced by close decision. The lean
lad, Goodwin, was the next to man
ipulate the stick, but expired on
short one to Evers.
Curtis Bernard then went into action
and Strengthened out one of Weimer's
offerings for a rising one to left center,
Spies tracking to the tin with minutes
to spare. Tim Flood was brushed off
on a slam to short and appearances
were promising for another Seraphic
triumph. In the fourth the visitors
evened things up a bit. Al Pennell
was down and out on a drive to Tim
Flood and Tinker went to the bench on
a long low one to Cravath in the star
board pasture. With grim determina-
tion Evers swung his stick and the ball
sailed out to Bernard's territory, while
Evers tripped around to the third patch.
Johnny Killing was the next Colt to
essay to connect with Goodwin and
he slid one off right into the twirler's
hands.
Goodwin was slow in delivering the
ball to Dillon and the Seraphic com
mander failed to hold it with his usual
certainty. Evers crossing during the
ensuing mixup. Weimer passed another
one down to Goodwin, but AIRY failed
to control his wing and the ball hied
out to left territory. Cravath was
