Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1906-05-18

Manager Stah1 presented a new lineup
yesterday afternoon in the hope that the
Nationals would break their "hoo-doo.'
but the Chicagos played rings around the
locals and won out by the score of 6 to Q.
Shortstop Nil dropped out on account Of
a badly bunged up finger: Stanley replaced
Hickman; Schalfy came back into the
game and Williams went to short. but all
the plans went awry. as Patterson held
the Nationals down to two hits, slow
- roller by Jones to Davis. and a mighty
swat TO the left-field fence for home run
by Pitcher Smith.
This home run. which looked very nice
to the locals at the time, proved Smiths
undoing. the strain of the long run doubt
less playing him out, he went off IN
his work thereafter. Smiths long drive
had its humorous side and there was great
laughter at Kittredges expense. Kit"
had reached first on Dundons tumble of
his hit and Smith followed with his long
drive. The chubby catcher isn't much Of
a runner. and the race for home. with the
big pitcher in the rear, was a funny sight
to look at. as Smith finished only two
yards in the rear at the home plate. Both
were ready to drop from exhaustion at the
finish. and It took considerable tanning
and a bucket of water to bring them back
TO their normal state. AS things devel-
oped, Manager Stahl would have done the
wise thing in retiring Smith right there,
but the lad doing we'll that he
doubtless thought he could go the route.
After the Chicagos got to Smith in the
eighth inning Wolfe was substituted, but
the team was demoralized by this time
and four hits, with two errors, resulted
In four runs.
Patterson a Star.
The curly-headed Patterson was I'M
doubtedly the star Of the afternoon, and
the way he moved down the locals was a
sight worth witnessing. In seven of the
nine innings the Nationals went out in
their order of batting, and Dundon's error
and a base on balls broke up the regu-
larity of things in the other two innings.
Patterson's work last season was not high
class. but from the stride he has struck
this spring he will be big factor in the
Chicago's winning games this year
Back of Patterson the visitors flelded
nicely. Davis and Tanenhill capturing
everything that bounded their way, while
O'Neill, in left made sensational catch
of Charley Jones" fly after colliding with
his manager.
After being BANKED in five innings the
Chicagos tied the score in the sixth. max
ing two runs. Davis and Donohue worked
Smith for bases on balls and Jones out at
first moved both runners up a base. Sui
livan hit clean single into center and
both Davis and Donohue scored. Sullivan
tried to make second on the throw home
but Smith intercepted the ball and nailed
him with good throw to Schalfy. Tan
nehiH closed the inning with out at
first.
In the eigth the Chicagos got down to
work and before the third hand was re-
tired four runs had been placed to their
credit. Isben led off with a triple to the
center field fence. and Davis brought him
home with single over second.
Demoralizing Bunts.
Wolfe then waltzed to the center of the
diamond and Donohue began on Bill with
a beautiful bunt. Fielder Jones also bunt-
ed and safe on Wolfe's wide throw to
Schalfiy, who covered first. This filed up
the bases. with no one out. Sullivan fol-
lowed with a short fly back OF second.
and. as the field had been drawn in, Schal-
fly had to make long run to get under
the bali and fell as 1t struck his hands.
Davis scored. but Jones was forced out at
second by a throw from Schaihy to VIII
liams. The latter forgot to touch the bag.
and while Jones was arguing with the UNI
pire and players over the out Donohue
stole home. Sullivan hao gone to second
when Williams threw home TO head OF
Donohue, and he went to third a minute
later on Tannehilfs single to center Dun
don hit toward left and Sullivan scored
while Williams was fumbling the bali
Patterson moved Tannehin and Dundon up
base with a sacrifice. but the farce was
over, O'Neill going out, Schalhy to Stahl
II was weird exhibition, from a washing
ton point of view, but clever work on the
part of the White Sox. who took advan-
tage OF every misplay and worked the
bunting tactics TO perfection.
Isbell started the ninth with a single to
left, but the next three batters went out
In order.
The spectators hung on garnely In the
hope OF q sensational batting rally from,
the Nationals, but Patterson was master
OF the situation. and Schaifiy. Jones and
Cross went out in order.
Following is the official score:
