Nationals Second Victory.
The second game was not the clean-cut
affair that was the first, as both sides
broke into the error column Nevertheless.
it was chockfull of interest. as neither
side could get man over the pan in the
first five innings. In the sixth the locals
then to the sensational finish the crowd
was roofing for all IT vas worth.
Tom Hughes mounted the slab for the
Nationals. while Frank Smith. who re-

ing months French leave. did the twirl-
ing for the visitors. Tall Tom had so
much speed in the initial innings that he
had hard time getting them over the
rubber. After that it was easy sailing
until the ninth round. when Jones and
Davis punched a single and a double and
tied up the score.
Smith. On the other hand. was hit hard
throughout the game. but he seemed to
pitch remarkable ball with men on the
bases or had plenty of luck back of his
twirling. AS a sample, two hits. base
on balls and two stolen bases were pulled
off by the locals in the third inning. but
no one touched the home plate.
In, the fifth two singles were pulled off
again. and once more a cipher went up.
This sort of work could not continue for
ever. and in the sixth the Nationals final
ly forced a run over the rubber.
Ganley Starts Things.
Bob Ganley led off with a line drive
into right and the little fellow had an
easy thing of it reaching second ing
laub followed with a skyscraper into left.
When Ganley saw it was going to land
safely he scooted for home in safety,
while the former pulled up at second.
Cnglaub then got quite a lead off sec
ond. Shaw thought he would nab him,
Bob ambled on TO third. Freeman died
on roller to Parent, but Cnglaub held
on to third. Pickering then hit fast
one toward left which Tannehill gathered
in nicely and by a good throw TO Shaw
headed Bob off at the plate. Mcbride
followed with clean single into center.
But Warner closed the inning with fly
to Anderson.
In the seventh the Nationals hung up
another tally 1t looked nice to the big
started off with a foul fly that Smith
took care of. Milan did better. lacing
a single into left Shipke sent Milan to
second with a sacrifice and Ganley fol-
abling the Tennessee lad to cross the
plate.
With the score standing to .. ii looked
like easy money when the ex-champions
came the nnal TURN at the Dat.
But base ball is mighty uncertain. and in
a flash almost the figures were tied up.
White Soxs' Game Finish.
Jones led off with a single to center
and Davis sent him over the rubber with
a double up against the right-held fence.
Anderson flied to Ganley.
Hughes then pulled of bad throw to
second to catch Davis mapping. and the
gorgeous one went to third. The error
doubtless unsettled Hughes for a minute.
and as a result he passed AtZ.
Doc White was then sent i'm to bat for
Parent He hit bad grounder over
Hughes head on which Unglaub got AtZ
at second by a quick throw to Mcbride
On the play Davis crossed the plate.
Mcbride made a gallant effort to head
off White at first with q double play
which would have kept Davis from scor-
Ing and only failed by an eyelash. White
then closed the inning by trying to steal
Street heading him off with good throw
to Mcbride.
With honors even the Nationals came
up for their last try and. as it turned out,
were successful. Mcbride started mat
tiers with a safe hit into right and went to
second while Atz was throwing out Street.
Hughes famed, and long battle seemed
probab Bile when Milan broke up things.
Clyde whipped clean single into left
and Mcbride darted for home. Anderson
had the ball al the time George rounded
third. 1t looked like suicide, but Andy
