no exaggeration to say that fully three
fourths of the people who attended the
game expected to see the Nationals given
severe beating. But the local boys

a great deal of late, and they welcomed
the tossing OF Mr.. Walsh like money
from home. In fact, they went after
the speedy shoots of Mr.. Walsh with SO
much pleasure and success that Manager
Jones, who was sitting in a box next
TO the bench of the White Sox. ordered
the big fellow to rest up for the re-
fnainder of the afternoon and trotted out
Nick Altrock to stem the flow of runs
over the plate. The change worked SPLEEN

scored the visitors only run. Just how
effective Huges was can be seen from the
number of chances that were given the
soutfeld. two flies going to Pickering and
lone each to Ganley and Milan. On numer-
GUS occasions Hughes would get in bad
with two balls and no strikes and then
pitch so regularly that the batter would
be compelled to hit the ball or be called
Out on strikes. Not a pass to first was
given by Tom. which is somewhat re-
-markable, when it is understood that the
veteran is using a spitball.
