CHICAGO, ILL.,. September 19.-The Sox
made 1t three straight from Washington
today. winding up the series with game
that was not taken seriously by either
half of the sketch. Washington played
as good game possible. but the hole
at second was SO large that everything
rolled through it, while minor league
pitcher proved the easiest kind of picking
for the Sox. White, taking things COM
fortaby, had no trouble in winning, and
the Sox, after the second inning, simply
rolicked in with the game. Both clubs
paid so little attention to the details of the
game that all the men not actually in the
battle adjourned in the seventh round to a
spot in front of the right-hand seats and
there INDUCED in horse play and loose
losses of the ball. As the audience was
shut off from view of the game, a small
riot ensued. Silk O'Loughlin ordered the
athletes away, and they gave him the
raucous gurgle and salubrious boot.
Finally, boiling over with rage Silk got

confusion.
A Real Funny Show.
1t was more of burlesque than a ball
game at all times, but the crowd seemed
happy, for the bulletin board told them
glad tidings and pennant visions were be-
fore their eyes.
Cantillon stuck to his resolution of not
using Delehanty. Inasmuch as Gates and
Shipke had both played the bag like
locoed chimpanzees the previous day, Joe
decided to take another chance. He put
ali the names in his hat and drew one, the
victim proving to be Charley Smith Mr.
Smith. mournfully remarking that he
hated to be the goat, went valiantly forth
and did the best he could. The crowd
thought it saw Tom Hughes stepping to
the slab. but it wasn't Tom. 1t was a
young man named Winthrop, as long as
Tom and looking so much like him that
many of Toms Chicago friends tried to
touch him for loans before the game.
Mr.. Winthrop pitched with great speed
and perfect success until the third inning,
when brutal things happened to his fast
delivery. With one dead in this round,
Tannehill hit over second. White beat
the ambient breezes, but Hahn, Jones and
Isbell drove the leather far a-tield, and
three runs came Looping in.
Sox Take Liking to Winthrop.
After this Mr. Winthrop was duck soup
for the Sox. They took a liking to his
curves, and the farther he went the more
they loved him. They kept hitting them
through the Sahara desert at second base,

the vacant chair. Mr.. Edmonson only got
in front of one ball, and that one hit him
in the hoofs and rolled away. In the

Jones walloped boldly. scoring the doctor.
Two passes also decorated the inning, but
neither of them scored. The sixth was
productive-for Chicago. Parent singled,
Sullivan sacrificed, Tannehill biffed fierce
ly, and White was given nucat free. a
smash by Hahn followed, and two runs
were added 10 the fast-growing total. In
the seventh the Sox kept right on, and
fattened up the average a little bit more.

Like Dead Soldiers.
Most of this time Washington lay still,
like men long dead. In fact, some OF the
bleacherites coarsely limited at sending for
the coroner, calm and quiet were the
visitors. In the sixth they woke up a
trife Unglaub singled. got to third on
two ground outs and rushed in when Free
