Chicago, June 6.-For the second sue
cessive day the White Sox nosed out the
Nationals by one run, and incidentally
showed Washington into last place. as
Boston had no trouble in winning from
Detroit.
For seven innings it looked like the
easiest sort OF victory for the Nationals.
Jesse Tannehill. considered by the Bos-
ton management as having outlived his
usefulness on the diamond, made his first
appearance on the rubber for Washington,
and up to the eighth pitched wonderful
ball. He had the whole Chicago outfit
on his staff. and his task was made even
easier by the excellent support he re-
ceived in the field. Four double plays
practically killed all Of Chicagos hopes
until after the unlucky seventh.
In the eighth the strain proved too much
for Tannehill. and he weakened badly. al
lowing the SoN to score twice. In the
ninth he was even weaker and Tom
Hughes was substituted but the change
proved the undoing Of the visitors. for

Fielder Jones to tie the score. and then
Jiggs Donohue. one of the weakest hit
tiers on the club, drove in the run that
