STANDING oF THE TEAMS.

Determined 20 avenge the tTouncing of
Saturday. Fielder Jones pitted big Ed
Walsh. tho pride Of tho White Sox 5
pitching staff. against the Nationals yes
terday. and the champions won by the
slight margin Of . TO /.
Walsh was practically invincible. as
he allowed only three scattered hits. two
a of wEich were scratches. and. had any
lesser light been in the center Of the dia-
mond. tie Nationals would probably have
repeated their feat Of the other day. when
they upset calculations by downing the
Cub be1ters.
Walsh had everything, including mag
nifcent control. As rule, the spit ball
IS a most uncertain quantity. If it is
breaking nicely. it is a hard ball to hit
and. on the other hand. if it fails to re-
spend 20 the pitchers efforts it can be
pounded 10 all corners of the lot. Walsh
is one of the greatest spit-ball artists in
the game, and yesterday he had his
favorite curve just where he wanted it.
Although they tried hard TO fathOm the
visitors delivery, the Nationals were at
his mercy. and while Walsh famed only
four batters. most Of the men who faced
him were easy victims for the speedy
felders Of the Windy City tribe.
Hughes in Form.
Tom Hughes also pitched some ball. but
he had q bad session in the second IN
ming, in which the White Sex got theic
only two runs. From the second to the
end Hughes allowed only four hits, but
the damage had already been done That
the Nationals escaped without a shut out
was due to the long fellow, who smashed
out a double in the eighth. and later
scored.
The first White SoX run was earned, but
the second came as a result Of poor team
work on the part Of the home team. With
a man on first and third, Heydon threw 10
second 10 catch the man going down. The
throw was none too good, and was not
handled cleanly at the other end. 80 Sulli-
van seized the opportunity to get a run
and dashed in from third while the ball
was being returned 10 the plate
Hughes got Washington's tally in the
eighth. in much the same manner as Sulii-
van scored earlier. With GanIey on first
and Hughes on third. the captain started
for second. and while Isbell and Donohue
were trying TO run him down, Long Tom
slid across the rubber.
White sOx Get Two.
In the first each team wasted q single
but in the second the SOx got their two
runs. Dougherty skied TO center, but then
came singles by DonOhue. Robe. and Sui.
Iivsn. On the last hit Donohue counted
although Ganley's long throw from right
in returning Sullivan's hit, made the play
close. Walsh hit toward third. and Per
rine threw Robe out at the plate, Sullivan
reaching third on the play. When Walsi
started for second Heydon made a poor
throw and Sullivan beat the return.
