When the other fellows are hammering
your pitchers, and your batters are not
hitting the other fellows pitcher, your
tsam looks foolish.
That was the case with the White Sox
and the Nationals yesterday afternoon.
Charley Smith. who is considered about
the most reliable of the local pitchers,
essayed to twirl, but he lasted only three
innings. In fact he did not last that
long, for the Sox commenced to pound
his delivery at the very start, but Can
tillon kept him in the game until the
beginning of the fourth. Then Case Pat
ten was substituted and, while he was
somewhat of an Improvement he was
unable to stop the visitors. Patten re-
NAMED until the ninth, when he was
taken out in order TO allow Mil to bat
and Gehring pitched the ninth inning.
Big Frank Smith, after rest of d
couple OF weeks, was in the box for the
champions. Although he was as wild as
the proverbial hare. he got away with
it He gave evidence of his Unsteadiness
in the first and second innings. and
Fielder Jones had about decided to
snatch him out. but he improved as he
went along and held the Nationals safe
after the Sox had gotten a commanding
lead in the first third of the game
Good Work in OutfeId.
The only redeeming features from a
Washington standpoint were several SEN
sational PLAYS by the local outffeIders,
which kept the visitors from piling up a
larger number of runs. In the fourth in
ming Clymer made a brilliant one-hand
catch of a drive by Davis, which went
almost to the score board. and In the
next inning Otis robbed Frank Smith of
q triple by going over into left center
and grabbing the bali after il had gotten
beyond the reach Of Charley Jones. These
we're the two greatest plays of the game,
although Charley Jones and Ganley each
made a pretty running catch. which
brought forth some little enthusiasm
from the 2,O0O fans who, otherwise, were
pretty quiet.
In the first Hahn heat ont a roller 20
Delehanty When the visitor stole sec
ond Warner threw into center field. and
Hahn continued 10 third. He scored on
Donohue's single. With two gone in the
second, IsbeIl hit 20 Smith. The pitcher
threw 10 the woods and Isbell went to
second. He was showed around 10 third
by two bases on balls. and counted on
Hahn's hit to the pitcher.
Chicago put the game on ice in the
third by making three runs on singles by
Donohue, Dougherty. Mcfarland, a dou-
bic by Robe. and Davis sacrifice. For
the Nationals Ganley beat out a hit to
the pitcher, and scored on Charley Jones'
double
PRtten in the Box.
When the fourth inning started Case
Patten was on the mound, and Eddie
Hahn's welcome 70 the southpaw was a
smash which got through Clymer in left
field. and the visitor reached third, scor-
ing on Jones' fly to right Anderson
dropped Altizer's throw on DonOhue's
chance, but Clymer tagged Davis drive
to left by a great catch. Robe singled,
but two were left on bases as Dougherty
went out, pitcher to first.
The Sox made one in the seventh On
Rohe's triple, followed by Dougherty's
fly
Clymer's double Ganley's single. and
Delehanty's out netted the Nationals one
in the seventh, and in the eighth the last
score was made when Altizer doubled
and chased home on Shipke's single.
