CHICAGO. June 6-The White Sox won
a madly exciting game from Cantillon's
men today, downing them in desperate
ninth inning rally when the victory
seemed safely pocketed by the visitors.
Tannehill. pitching his first game for his
new club. was successful till the sudden
finish, when he was yanked out in the
hope of turning the tide.
Tom Hughes went in. had a wild pitch
that tied the score and then was smitten
by Donahue for a hit that sent in the
winning run. Andy Nelson. Comiskey's
new left-hander. worked for the Sox and
die not show much quality. Atrock
worked in the eighth and Owen in the
ninth.
Washington Gets Busy.
Washington began operations right at
the jump. before the youthful Scandina-
Wan could get his bearings. Milan
rod oil
son sat down abruptly, the bunt rolling
by. Nelson steadied and two men did
nothing. but Street sent a little roller
just where no one happened to be, Milan
scoring.
The Sox evened up without delay Hahn
hit into right, Jones sacrificed and Davis
given a check. John Anderson, who
bats in all of Comiskey's runs. delivered
his usual terrific liner and Hahn scored.
Two more of the Sox managed to reach
base, but Pickering caught two flies and
averted further danger
Davis made wonderful play on force
out in the second. He got wide throw
from Tannehili, falling on his face to
make the reach and keeping hoof upon
the second bag. The Sox died one, two,
three in this session.
Donohue's Bluff Goes.
In the third Jiggs Donohue pulled off a
nervy gag and got by with it. He was
handed throw on the ground by Davis.
AS he scooped up the ball it bounded
away half across the diamond. Donohue
made no move to recover the ball, but
threw off his glove and marched in. as if
he had caught the throw and tossed it
away from him. The bluff was good and
the umpire fell for it.
In the Sox half there was general
whoopng when hit and two passes filed
the sacks. with two gone and Lee Tan
nehll up. The brothers looked grimly at
each other, for love is love. but salaries
are darlings. Lee hit an easy grounder
TO Delehanty and the inning closed.
With one gone in the fourth Altizer
walked. and stole second with so much
violence that he tore the bag off its moor
ings Mcbride did nothing, but Freeman
smo;e largely and Altizer beat il home
Sullivan salted down a hit in the Sox's
half, and Altizer gobbled a liner soon aft
er. transferring IL to first for a double
play.
Nelson Is Wobbly.
Young Nelson was wobbly in the fifth,
hitting Milan full in the dinner and be-
ing soaked hard by Delehanty. The Sox
braced up and held fast without admitting
any runs. Mcbride made an incompara-
BILE stop and throw in the Sox's half. re-
ceiving proper applause.
Nelson showed his greenness in the
sixth. stopping a slow rolling bunt that
was Just going foul and thereby giving
Mcbride hit. Nothing doing In the
scoring line, though. In the same round
Brother Lee again faced Brother Jess at
moment when hit would have done
brutal things. and Brother Lee hit right
into double play.
Pickering began the seventh with a
dainty. ladylike tap into right When
Delehanty hunted Davis got the plum and
fred il two miles and 5S3 yards wide OF
first. Pickering scoring and Del going to
third. Then squeeze was prettily
worked. and Del skipped In while three
Sox were studying what to do with the
ball.
Human Scissors Hits.
Jones sent Weaver to bat for Nelson
in this round. and the human scissors
responded with pop hit back of second.
Hahn was easy. but Jones gave Mcbride
one that got away. The unsainly Weav-
er overran third and fell twenty feet be-
yond In wild eagerness to get him
Mcbride and Altizer rushed for the bag
and collided They wrestled round the
base the ball was dropped and Weaver
scrambled back. He got no farther.
anyhow.
Altrock pitched the eighth and escaped
with one hit. Then the Sox seemed to
becCme interested in the game. the re-
liable Anderson poled a hit into the
suburbs. and JiSgie Donohue came on
with IA murderous whack. good for two
bases. Parent strolled. Bases fulh none
out. and Brother Lee to bat. lie hit
across the intield. Anderson scored and
Connolly called both Parent and Tame
hill out on a double play.
A. Freeman off the base and the
ball got by him wild kick followed. but
Connolly maintained that the ball wouldn't

on Freeman and ridden hin. some ten
feet from the bag Atz wens up for

and held the visitors.
Hughes Takes a Hand.
