COMMENT ON THE GAME.

1t would be a strange freak of fate If
the Washington club Internationally
should knock the White Sox out of the
pennant race in the American League.
The Nationals lost three straight to the
White Sox last week, but in Fridays
game Unglaub and Pitcher Walsh came
together at the plate while the former
WAS irving to score. The crash must
have been fierce one, as Walsh was
knocked down so hard that he wanted
to fight. and was only prevented by the
other players. Now comes the sequel.
a special from Chicago says that Walsh
was carded to work against the Ath-
letics yesterday, but that he was SO sore,
especially around the right shoulder,
from his collision with Unglaub in Fri
days game that he was unable to pitch
and may be laid up for some time. With
Walsh out of the running the Chicagos
would simply be nowhere. Accidents of
the sort Walsh met with sometimes re-
suit very seriously, and it would be a
great hardship if the big twirler should
now be laid on the shelf after keeping
the White SoX in the running all season.
Stranger things have happened.
With only twenty-five points separating
the first and fourth clubs. the race for the
American League pennant is still any
body's. and may yet be decided by one
of those fiukes which not infrequently
break up the best laid plans of base ball
sharps. The past week was distinguished

Hitless Game for Smith.

CHICAGO September 21.-Frank Smith,
the White Sox piano juggIer, was tuned
up in great shape yesterday and shut out
the Athletics without d hit. Smith had
been out of commission for several days
owing to a finger rendered hors de game
by the business end of line drive. He
seemed to be feeling his oats on his re-
appearance as finger and twirled the
Sox to their fourth straight victory in
most dazzling style. Smith didn't have
much on Plank, however. Eddie pitched
a great game, too, and had he been given
gilt-edged support the battle would have
lasted until dark without a score on
either side. The score
