COMMENT ON THE GAMES.

Walter johnson looked like his true
self yesterday in the first game, and but
| for two mental lapses on the part of
Mcbride. Delehanty and Conroy he would
have scored a shutout The Sox's first
run came over the pan because Mac and
Del got mixed about covering second.
and neither got there to take Streets
perfect throw on Dougherty. The other
<ln resulted when Conroy threw wild
| to first. Johnson certainly had the
steam, and fairly good control. ten of the
Chicago;s striking out, while only two
| walked. Walter was seen after the game
| by Star reporter. and said that his
| bad foot was al right once again. and
that he believed he was back in his best
form.
Sir Robert Unglaub was very much In
both struggles yesterday. his trusty stick
driving in all of Whshington's three
runs in the first. and scoring the only
tally in the second. Bob's sacrifice fly
drove Mcbride over the rubber in the
third, another of the same sort scored
Johnson in the fifth, and then in the
ninth he singled to center and sent Nc
Bride over the rubber with the winning
run. Some timely batting that. In the
second game Unglaub singled with two
down in the ninth inning, and he was
driven home a few minutes later when
Delehanty's triple hit the right-field
fence.
Third Baseman Purtell had to drop out
of the game at the end of the fourth
inning on account of the heat. He had
gone into the game feeling bad, a crack
ing headache worrying him a great deal.
and when he fumbled McBride's bounder
he thought 1t was time to quit. Tame
hill was shifted over to third, Parent
coming into short and White going to
center field. The change was disastrous.
as Parent pulled off a couple bad plays
before he got used to his old job, but
the little fellow was the goods In the
second game. capturing all of the eight
chances offered.
Charley Street was one of the most
delighted fellows imaginable at the con-
clusion of the afternoon struggles. I'VE
looked something like ball club today.
twirlers deliver the goods and we'll trim
the best of them
Street got one of the bumps Of his
life in the second game. Tannehill was
on third and Atz on first when the double
steal was attempted Charley made
good peg to Mcbride and George re-
turned it perfectly, the ball reaching
Streets hands a fraction Of second
IL
The White Sox shortstop never slack
ened up and crashed into Street like an
automobile, knocking the catcher prone
on his back. 1t was a couple of minutes
before Street got his wind back and was
all right, but for slight bruises on the
hip and knees where fanny hit him.
1t goes without saying that Street
| touched his man with the ball before 60
ing out.
Two new recruits to the Nationals
pulled off satisfactory exhibits yesterday,
and both may be retained and placed on
the payroll. Outfielder Miller has been
at the park for the past week, and
Pitcher Carlisle before leaving town
spoke good word for the little fellow.
Mark my Words said Carlisle. MILLER
will make good. He is fast on his feet
and stands up to the plate like real
batter Miller batted in Donohue's
place in the ninth inning and made a hit,
and in the second game soaked a long fly
| to White when he batted for Oberlin.
Miller went to the plate In ticklish
died himself like a veteran. His nerve,
| as much as anything else. pleased Can
tillon. and he may be in today's game.
Pitcher Oil. who was with the Phila-
delphia National League Club. is the
| other, and he also gave evidence Of hav-
| ing the goods. Business Manager Fowler
| took Oil to the park yesterday morning
| and introduced him to Manager Cantillon,
| and Marse Joe, liking his looks, told him
| to get into uniform. Obi Is a big,
| husky left-hander, and in the one inning
| he performed appeared to have good con-
| troll, a nice curve. but only ordinary
speed. Don't be surprised If he pitches
one of todays games.
! Those two Washington kids. White and
| Atz. were very much in yesterdays strug-
| giles, the former winning the second game
| with his trusty stick and the latter field
! ing brilliantly around second. 1t Is really
wonderful where White gets his strength.
| He is SHINY built. but seems to carry
| the muscles of a Sandow in his arms and
| shoulders Whites drive went to the
center-tield fence like a bullet from
gun, showing the force he put back of it.
| Jimmy Sebring, the clever outfelder. re-
| ported TO Manager Cantillon this morn
| ing, and will get in the struggle today
| or tomorrow. Jimmy Is in prime fettle
and confident he can deliver the goods
