The Chicago White Sox wound up their
season in this city yesterday with tic
game, to 4, after seven innings of as
stubborn playing as the most exacting
fan" could wish for. The Nationals
were at the bat in the eighth inning. when
the gathering storm and darkness COM

and the score reverted back to the seventh
inning. Neither side lost anything by the
cancellation of the eighth inning, as no
runs had been made. but George Davis
was robbed of a base hit and big Ed.
Walsh of q strikeout.
About the only satisfaction the local
enthusiasts can gather from the game is
that Doc" White was batted off the
rubber and Mr.. Walsh had to be called
to his rescue to save the day. Johnson
outpitched White in the opening game
last Friday and Manager Jones was
anxious to demonstrate that the doctor is

Manager Cantilon accepted the def and
sent the Pacific coast lad to the rubber
yesterday to once more give battle to his
worthy opponent Once more Johnson
came out on top. as the White Sox made
six hits in seven innings. while the Ma
tonals hit White safely the same number
of times in 1-3 innings.
White Driven to Cover.
Whites retirement was brought about in
the fifth inning, when the score stood to
in favor of the visitors. Kahoe started
the trouble with a clean single to right
and then Pickering went to first to run
for him. Johnson looked so easy that
White tried to strike him out. with the
result that he was finally passed to first
on balls. Milan then tried to sacrifice and
finally wound up by striking out. Little
Bill Shipke was next up and while every
body was wishing for a heavy hitter to
take his place. the nervy little midget
soaked an incurve to the right field-fence
which was good for three bases, Pickering
and Johnson crossing the plate. The hit
tied up the score and almost set the en-
tire crowd wild with joy and excitement
Mr.. White was too much for Manager
Jones and he lost little time asking the
doctor TO take seat on the bench while

he beat Jackey's throw to the plate by
an eyelash. Walsh then caught Ganley
off first and he was run down, Parent get
ting the out, while Unglaub flied out to
Sullivan.
That inning put the locals one run to
the good. and as johnson was steaming

walked to the plate he was greeted with
Sroans and Kisses. to which the big fellow
responded by doffing his cap very politely
But Andy meant the salutation as a little
sarcasm. as he quickly picked out one Of
Johnson's speedy curves and slammed it
into center for a clean single, scoring Da-
Wis and thereby saving the game. Here

Darkness Favors Walsh.
After Walsh had gotten rid of the fifth
inning, the darkness caused by the ap-

inning as though they were going to do

long wind-up preparatory to shooting the
ball over the plate he cleverly stole home.

home.
The White Sox came right back in the
