The Chicago White Sox yesterday after
noon once more earned the title of hit
less wonders" when they defeated the
Nationals by the score of to 3, after
getting but three safe bingles off the be-
wildering and speedy delivery of Walter
Johnson. Two of these hits, a single and
a double. were punched in the third in
ming. and they practically won the game
for the Sox Washington. on the other
hand. secured five safe drives. two OF
which were for triples. but the best they
could do was trio Of tallies.

the locals downfall, his hit sending in a

was really the whole game in itself. Tan

on a roller to Altizer. Sullivan was then
unluckily passed, and White singled to
left, the ball going right over third base.

on which Hahn dashed over the rubber.
AS Washington had gathered In one run
of White In the second inning. TINS un-
expected shift made everybody grumpy, as
1t was thought to be great piece of luck
to score at all on the clever southpaw.
Luck Favored White Sox.
Both sides are charged with two errors.
Both those made by the locals resulted in
runs. while those of the visitors let in
solitary tally. Another piece of good luck
for the White Sox.
Outside Of this inning, Walter Johnson
was his old-time self, and he can be de-
pended upon to take the same exalted
station he occupied last season. In the
last six innings but one hit was regis
tered off his delivery. and in four of them
the opposing batterS were retired In ro-
tation. He had splendid control. except
when he endeavored to put on unusual
speed and the White Sox appeared al
most helpless before him.
Manager Jones trotted out Harry White
once more. as he is in splendid shape just
now. and he pitched another fine game,
being especially effective with men on the
bases. He had better control than john
sson. as he passed but one batter to first
on balls.
There was nothing developed in the
fielding line outside of the ordinary. the
high-class twirling making the chances
offered the fielders generally easy and of
the regulation order.
Nationals First to Score.
Johnson turned back the White Sox in
regular order of going to the bat in the
first inning, and doc" White did the
same for the Nationals. This dose was
again handed the visitors in the second
inning by the Pacific coast lad, but the
little southpaw failed to repeat on the To-
Gals as they garnered one run, to the
great delight of the spectators. Clymer
led off with a hot drive to left that tore
apart Tannehills hands. and he was safe
on first. Street laid down perfect sacri-
flee. and Otis galloped to second. Sol
der Boy Altizer then whipped clean
single into left and Clymer easily made
the plate.
Then came the disastrous third, as al
ready told. and gloom settled over the
park thick enough to cut with an ak, as
everybody wanted TO see White defeated
and Johnson triumph.
In the fourth the White SoX hung up
an additional tally. but this was no fault
of Johnson's. Dougherty led off with
roller TO right that Freeman intercepted.
but in tossing the ball to johnson, who
covered the bag. 1t went over the pitch
er's head. and the batter continued on to
second. "Jiggs" Donohue was right on
his job and sent Sir Patrick TO third with
a sacrifice. Davis looked awfnlly dam
gerous at this point. and Manager Can
tillon signaled Johnson to pass the big
fellow to first base on balls and sent the
infield back to work for a double play.
The scheme was all right in theory, but
Lee Tannehill spoiled the dope by lac
ing a clean single over first base and
Dougherty came ambling over the rubber.
For the next three innings it was up
TO the plate and back TO the bench for
both sides, with the exception OF beau
tiful drive to left center by Jerry Free
man that was good for three bases.
Johnson's Mighty Swat.
After the Sox had been repulsed in the
eighth In rotation. the locals woke up
the gloomy spectators by scoring two
runs, their dying effort of the battle. Nc
Bride was the first off and he perished
on a roller to White. Walter Johnson
then took a healthy swing at one of
Whites slow curves, and when Fielder
Jones gathered in the ball it was
resting against the fence to the right of
the clubhouse. Johnson could probably
have scored a home run had he put forth
his best efforts. but he rightfully logged
and pulled up at third. Milan then shot
a swift grounder at Davis. and as il went
between his legs. Johnson scored and
CLYDE was safe on first. Little Shipke
followed with fast bounder to right that
Donohue gathered in and his quick
throw to Davis at second beaded off
Milan. II looked like a double play all
right but Davis. in returning the ball
TO Donohue. threw over J'ggs' head and
the ball bounded into the grandstand and
Shipke was allowed TO jog around to the
home plate. Ganley was implored to keep
up the fun. but he closed the inning with
fly to Dougherty
in their last turn at the bat. Dougherty
worked a base on balls and he quickly
stole second. the only pilfer Of the game
Donohue once more tried for sacrifice
and dumped the ball right down in front
of the plate. Street gathered in the ball
and had plenty of time to head of Dough-
erty at third. but he threw over Shipke'
head and Pat continued on home.
The Nationals never quit for second
and did their best in the ninth to stem
