CHICAGO, Sept 19.-If Cantillon had
deliberately tried 20 toss this after
Moons game into Comiskey's hat, he
could not have arranged 1t better than
BE did in the game Chicago won today
BY to 2
lie adhered to his resolution, keeping
Delehanty out Of the game, and played
Charley Smith on the sack till 1t was
obvious he could not stop a hay wagon.
Edmondson went in and played the base
like a half portion of cr1pe. with onions.
Meanwhile. a minor league twirler was
pitching and the Sox were making
merry with the slap stick. Handicapped
in this fashion. Washington had as much
chance TO win as IA one-Iegged man has
10 climb a creased pole. DR.. White
pitched a fairly good game-he didn't
need to work extra hard, for things
came his way.
Witherup Withers Early.
Canullon put tall. rangy hatrack
named Witherup on the slab-the same
WitherUp who was with the Boston Ma
tionais for a while-a very little while.
For two innings Witherup looked just
like a real pitcher He had great speed
and good control and the Sox couldn't
negotiate his shoots for sour apples.
This peeved Comiskey's men. and they
lit upon the young man in the third
cadenza.
With one extinct, Tannehiu raped the
pellet White famed. but Hahn hit
into left. Jones planted one into the
same place, and TannehiH scored Hahn
and jones moved up as the ball was
sent in. and both % them scored when
Lsbel ripped of a sizzIer over second.
Freeman Drives in Run.
Then ;he Sox rested for an inning,
only 10 recommence IN the fifth. White
began operations with q single, Hahn
Eucridced, and Jones sent his pitcher
across the rubber on a shapely sInite TO
center Witherup gave two passes In
this inning, but no further scores re-
suited.
All this time washington had been
dead to the world. trying hard to break
through Whites defense, but not accom-
pi.shing anything. Sundry hits we're
made but nobody could go the rounds.
IL was the sixth inning before the Wis
itors could score. Unglaub started with
"a single Gates, batting for Smith, and
CIymer were out on grounders, but
Freeman drove out a sharp WhiZZer,
sending UEglaub over. This seemed to
vex the SOx-they took the run back,
and another with II when their turn
came Parent singled. Sullivan sacri-
feed. and -anuehil smote furiOusly,
White drew pass, and Hahn walloped
freely. Two Rms resulted.
Some Costly Comedy.
One OF the richest comedy bits OF the
season came or in tne seventh. All the
extra Tasn Of both teams sneaked to the
suaCc in front Of the first base bleach
e.s, ana began 20 practice. They were
gathered so thickly that the paid ad-
missions could rot see the game, and
raised a wild yell for help. O'Loughlin
ordered the sang TO sl1idOo, ard all OF
:hefn became suddenly deaf. For ton
minutes SILK yelled and mOtiOned, and
none OF the warts even listened The
umpire finally called a policeman six
ceet long three feet wide and i've feet
thick. and the whole dock fed for cover.
SIR, identified about six of them as
they hew. and ordered all those he
HpOtted to get of the grounds.
The Sox were still oatty. Anderson
started their half with a riOtous wallop.
Devis and Parent grounded out, and
. Sullivan hit a buzzer past third, regis
4erinC Anderson. BY this time young
Mr.. Withcrup felt much Ike the man
who tried 10 chop kindling in the dark
and caught his ak on the clothesllne
overhead
Milan Makes Great Throw.
GapIcv led off IN the eighth with a
r7e. Iife-sizod two-bagger. Things were
apparently propitious. but the next three
1.,ttars could not disturb Whites seren-
it, Young Witherup remained On the
slab and only some neat work prevented
another COB Of runs In the Sox's half
White tapped a snappy single, Hahn
. sacrificed and Jones was banged on the
diaphram, causing him to grunt. Isbell
said he had enjoyed the fun long enough
and was willing 70 let DOnOhue In on
the good thing Jiggs sent a towering
fy to Milan IN center. and while trying
20 make third on the hit was nipped as
he slid. It was q fine throw. and gained
vast approval from the people.
The crowd had begun 20 go home in
the ninth, figuring that Washington was
all through. and considering it a cinch
when Freeman lifted to Jones and Nc.
Bride grounded TO White. Street. who
had made one hit and been robbed Of
' another by a great catch BY Yon An
6erson. smote vaIorously, and the ball
leaned OF Aaderson's reach-an easy
rwo-bagger. Cantillon had to find some
Que 10 send IN for witherup. as the
new pitcher was pretty much Of frost
both as batsmau and hurler. Warner
went UP. and electrified the crowd witt
a rounding two-baser into left. Street
OF course. scored. and CantillOu began e
