Special Dispatch TO The Star
CHICAGO. ILL.,, June l4-Washngton fell
before the Sox for second defeat In a
game where there was not hitting enough
to scare a baby and where the luck all
broke one way
The Sox were almost as fortunate as
they were the day New York made eight
hits to their one and still couldn't beat
them. They negotiated only three hits on
Long Tom Hughes, who was present with
everything pitcher has to have. but they
managed to gobble three runs lust the
same. Meanwhile the meek and lowly
seventh placers. although making four hits,
such as they were, could not get anything
across the platter and had to be contented
with a shut-out

shaky at crucial times. and Catcher Hey

eating that he thought the ball was full of

where the catchers accused him of making
many errors. and Connolly working on the
before the game was over. The hardest
kick of the afternoon came when Hickman
hit lovely swat into the bleachers in the
ninth inning. and IL was called foul al
though many falr-minded bleacherites de-
ciared that 1t fell two feet on the fair side
of an imaginary line. Anyway, the Sox
won, and now have dreams of Climbing stiil
higher.
Chicago Gets Good Start.
Fielder Jones and his brigade got busy at
ha lrf ND paln "a dalp
before Long Tom woke up. Hahn made
one OF the few hits OF the afternoon. Jones
sacrificed very nicely. Isbell grounded to
Mil who was subbing for Lave Cross and
Davis walked The double steal gag was
at once pulled off. Heydon threw a bit
wide to Schlafiy and Harry dropped the
throw, Hahn sliding home before the ball
could overtake him. Then, round after
round. the teams woke up, did their best
and retired to the doghouse runless.
Between bases on balls and the few hits
they managed to acquire the Senators kept
the base lines pretty warm. but always fell
down when a tap OF any kind would have
eewed up the score. They tried to dupl-
cate the double steal racket in the second
inning, with Altizer doing the sliding
for home act He ran like spawned buff
falo and slid like wheat cake. and they
effected him before he even saw the
pan. Sullivan was unable to stop the base
runners and they got away with sundry
steals. but of what avail, when the next
batter would hit an easy grounder? The
first Washington man to bat reached first
base In the first, second. fifth. sixth, eighth
and ninth innings. and. as a rule. when the
first man gets on without any out 1t
means trouble. In seven Of the nine In
nings there were visitors on the sacks, and
yet they couldn't score. It might have been
dumb playing, II might have been the
way Smith frightened up and pitched tough
ball when the clouds were threatening. or
II might have been sheer hard luck. To
man up a tree II looked like a combination
of all these elements, with the net result
tina, Washington couldn't score.
Hughes Pitched Well.
The Sex meanwhile after that first inning
did very little. Hughes was pitching finely
and they couldn't negotiate his fast de-
livery The ielders took 1t rather easy on
both sides and there were few sensational
catches Hahn lost long fly on one occa-
sion and recovered II after hunting in the
sky for quite time. and Stahl made q
grand stop with the base mitt. George
Davis also hooked one up with one fin,
but most Of the chances were of the easiest
pattern.
In the seventh. with one out, Smith drew
q pass. Hahn was easy, and with two gone.
Jones hit down TO Altizer The latter tried
60 throw to second before he had the ball
and simply handed fisttul OF dust to

fore him. Then the wretched leather few

body hooted. and Hughes, much enraged.
struck out Davis just to vent his anger.
Fast Fielding Stopped Nationals.
Fast fielding killed Washington on in the
eighth. although Heydon led of with a
short bingle. In the ninth the Nationals
came up for last endeavor. Mil. who had
been hitting well, managed TO work free
transportation. Hickman drove a mighty
fly. Ii scared above Hahn's head and fell

anything against the fairness of the hit.
and Hickman was turning second when the
umpire called foul" Then came a Joyous
spree, the visitors kicking nobiy and draw
ang diagrams IN the air and on the sand TO
show just how far fair that ball was. Peo-
pie In the bleachers also stood up. denoting
the position OF the foul line, and showing
that the leather had fallen some feet be-
hind them. But the umpire could not see
the Joke and ordered Hick to try II again
Crushed and heartbroken. the unhappy
6tahl warts obeyed and made little further
demonstration. Hickman forced Nil on a
weak attempt Altizer forced Hickman the
same way and Stahl raised a little foul to
Jigger Donohue. The latter camped under
4he ball, and another game had gone glim-
mering among the things that were, but are
not any moro. The score;
