CHICAGO. ILL.,, October 1.-Chicago and
Washington broke even in a double-header
yesterday before seething mass Of wild
eyed fans. The Sox were crazy to win both
games. as a double header would put them
80 far ahead that it would be practically
impossible to overtake them. Stahls peo-
pie were equally wild to win. just out Of
gameness and desire to complicate the sit
uation. Hence both teams fought desper-
ately. overlooking no bets. quarreling with
the umpire and hustling like fends.
In the first game Goodwin got along
pretty well for awhile, but showed some
signs of weakening. and kitson. who was
sent in to fill the gap, got trimmed prop
erly.
In the second contest Case Patten showed
how real pitching artist can do things
when the luck breaks his way. He pitched
q superb game. won out as much on his
own skill the support given him. and
kept the Sox from even hitting hard
chances at the flelders.
The first game began at ! 80 amid terrific
uproar from an enormous mob. packing
the stands and filing all the available space

weeks. Owens started in for the Soxs and
Goodwin for Washington. Each weakened
as the fray went on, and Walsh went on
the slab for Chicago, kitson going in for
the visitors. Neither team was any too
good in the field. Quillins errors were
hideOus and Dougherty made a bad muf of
Il fly. Charlie Jones muffed a fine pop up.
Warner made a werd chuck past second
and Hickman had monkey throw. Lave
Cross was Ill and Hickman covered third.
Stanley going to right field Washington
made three resonant two-baggers in the
game, but they did not come at the right
time to turn the tide. Outside of couple
of rangy stops by Donohue, there were no
fielding stunts of remarkable beauty. Too
cold. 1t was frostier than the average De-
cember morning and everybodY's teeth
played castanet solos.
Chicago Scored First

throw on Walsh. Hahn singled and Jones
pushed one through Stahl. Isbell hinged
with much asperity. and the two men
counted. That put the Sox way to the
good and there were great rejoicinRs amid
the people. Stahls men seemed stunned
by the blow and went meekly out in one
two-three order in the eighth. BY this
time the park was a cross between Nova
