CHICAGO, Ill. August 3o.--Iae White
Sox are rejoicing IN their tic with Cleve-
land for fourth place. Although the 10
rsls can't claim that they are bona ilde
members OF the first division, they say
they will be soon and that they won't
: stop there, either.
Eut there Is no buzz OF the pcunant
nae IN any SoX bonnet. That noise
stopped long ago, but there is desire
60 get close TO tho leaders aud the Sox
will see how faG- they can go.
The At.llet IS may stop ttern, but
2iack's men left four games here upon
their former visit and may DO no better
this trip.
Even if the Sox never get beyond
fourth place or into it all by themselves
Tor that matter. the fans here will look
upon Washington as friendly tribe.
The Nationals gave Up three games
here, one o. them without struggle
and the other two only after strenuous
resistance, the final one being taken over
yesterday by score of / to ..
AL in One Inning.
The visitors lest because two Of the
six Sox hits and one of TWO bases on
balls were crowded into the fourth in
ming. One OF these hits vas a double,
and still II took more than the brace O.
awals and the pass to get in that one
ruin. 1t took slow roller to Schaefe-.
which was 50 long IN getting to the
speedy second basernan that a runner
on third got home before Dutch had Ii
chance to throw anywhere but to first
base. If that run had not come right
there IL might never have been bern.
sFor the two hits furnished a danger
signal to Cantillon and he decided to
ma Ike & change in the next inning
which lie did. Charley Smith pitched
y@ayr tf,,$
can be no criticism OF the switch, al
though when ii was made 1t looked like
a most unwise step.
Walsh was such fine form that the
Nationals never got close except IN the
seventh. when an attempted double steal
went wrong and killed off what oppor-
tunity there was to te the count.
Not a hit did the Wis tors get off Walsh
until that period. Then they got both OF
hem. and with only one out the fans be-
came uneasy. But Miller helped them
out OF their difficulty by miss ng a strike
as Scaaefsr and Lelivelt tt ed TO steal,
der captain being caught at third.
Easy for Big Ed.
II vas pretty easy picking for Walsh
tie rest OF the time and he finished as
strong as though he Tad only warmed
up.
Ia gave the crowd a big treat in the
'.-st inning. showing that his arm was
Tree OF kinks TOR once.
After Grown had been thrown our by
u, Big Ed set down Schaefer and Cn-
s.aub on strikes. Edward had terrific
spe.d and did not seem to care whether
hs twisted tis shoots or not.
The sox had ttre chance TO score In
t..eir haif, But couldn't quite make It.
.A!rizer started by iouliag out TO Street
and Parent got 10 second on a high fly TO
rsiat over ui:icn Schaefer and Browne
!.esitated too long for eithe. to set after
both ilsd started.
Cole tolloweo with single through
s..ort, but Lel!vcit's fast helding held
Parent a. third. WITH but one out. !.
'ooked as though run would surely be
and Parent was nipped at the plate. after
which Isbell's hot liner was knocked
down by Johnson II was a brave stop
and he followed 1t UP with perfect
throw to first.
The locals got into the run column in
the fourth. After Dougherty had been
thrown out by Schaefer. 1sbell got a
close decision at first on the same kind Of
tap and !.e took third on Tanneh'Es
two-base drive down the left-field line
Hcp.:,s f.r force play. Jonnsnn wa!KrG
Atz ard filled the bases. But Owens In
field tap was SO slow In reaching Schaeser
that the second baseman had no chance
10 shut off Isbeil at the plate. So he
had to let the run come In while he whip
ped out Owens. Walsh ended the session
with high foul to kil!ifer.
Went Out in Order.
The Nationals went out In their regular
order IL the fifth. and in the Chicago half
another hit was recorded for Parent, but
it got him nothing, .or he was caught
mapping OF first and had to try for
second. Johnson simply held the bal!
until certain Parent would rot turn back,
then threw to Mcbride
The sixth opened with presentation Of
a pass 10 Mcbride. He was the first OF
lie visitors to reach the initial corner.
street tapped 10 Walsh and the big fellow
threw 70 second too late to force Mcbride.
Cantiliou sprung a surprise by sending
Siattery 20 bat for Johnson. There was
10 one out and Waiter ,lad been pitching
2 good game. He needed but Il Sacrifice
and had as good q chance to do that as
Si2ttcfy. He could have Gone as yell
anyhow, for the pi2ctl hitter dumped one
- it1 and 6orbla pay resulted, Nc
Eride bong afe at third. Browne ended
he session by grounding out.
Char.ey SEaith replaced johnson and
started with d walk for Daugherty. lie
redeemed himself By tanning Isbell. and
the next two were easy 70. the In
fclders.
First Hit Made Here.
Schaefer broke up Walsh's plane for
eo-hit game with a slashing single to cer-
ter In the seventh round. After Cns,aub
lad skied 70 Cole, Le!ive!t missed two In
trying to bunt and then smashed another
clean single TO center. Schaerer and
Lelive!t foo!istiy tried to pull OF a double
