Special Dispatch to The Star
CHICAGO. ILL.,, July 31.-The Sox had il
easy In the third game with Washington.
They played rings around the Senators
most of the way. and Stahl's people could
not hit Owen little bit. At that, the
score would have run along about even but
for Mr.. Wilyum Sullivan. Sully who is not
usually much of batter ate something for
dinner that frenzed him, and every time he
got near the plate re swung so s,vagely on
the ball that its seams cracked and it
yelled for mercy. II it hadn't been for Sully

up and kicks wings out OF the ball four
times during single matinee?
The fielding on both sides was alternately
brilliant and curious-curious because It
was dotted with errors of the kind you
can't put in score sheet. Peachiest of the
brilliant plays was a one-hand catch by
Altizer who extended himself in upper air
about four parasangs and hauled down a
whOOping drive. Funniest of the miscues
was pretty game of ping-pong by Sullivan
and Owen. In the sixth, with Patten on
first Sully handed the ball back to owen,
as good little catcher should. owen stuck
out the glove to take It. The glove was
stiff and the ball bounded off, flying
straight back at Sullivan. SuIy supposed
that Owen would follow the ball. and Owen
supposed that Sully would come out in the
diamond for II. While the ball was ping
ponged thusly Patten skipped to second.
