CHICAGO. Ill. May 11-Frank Smith
and Burns are slated for another Pitch-
ing duel on the South Side this after
noon. The Sox are planning TO make a
clean sweep of the Washington series.
while the visitors are preparing to stick
in one or more surprises. Cantillon S
Nationals appear to be working smooth
Iy and. although next to last place,
may be counted upon TO put up stlf1 op-
position They always do fight hard
against the Sox. and it is not unusual
for them to force the locals INTO extra
innings.
The brand of weather that was fur
nis'sed was "A great Improvement over
that of Monday and of the preceding
day, so that large attendance OF Soutn
Side rooterS is looked for.
The new lineup of the Senators worked
admirably in yesterdays game, and
many Il snappy wallop was converted
into a put-out by brilliant fielding
Shipke PLAYED Il good third base and
Conroy handled himself nicely in center
field. But it was the Sox intield that
played most brilliantly throughout the
eleven innings.
Great Pitching.
With Johnson and White pitching per-
fectly the contest threatened to continue
until darkness interfered, but Welday
connected with a hit after two men were
ont i'll the eleventh and brought the
dentiSt-tWirler in with the only run OF
the day. After Sullivan had walked, De-
ing the second man of the Sox to be thus
favored throughout the afternoon, and
had perished in trying to steal second
after Atz had died trying to sacrihce, the
prospects for a tally were anything nut
bright. But DIR. White revived the
waning hopes by ripping off single
over second base. Eddy Hahn made a
noble little hit into left field and the star
left-handed finger trotted to second.
He futtered around the keystone sack
while Weday was looking 'em over.
and then made dash for third when
Michael bounced the pellet into the center
garden. He never stopped tos learn the
fate of the poke, and kept right on for
home Conroy came in fast on the hit,
which lodged him just as he was about
to scoop ii up, and the doctor scored
with the winning tally.
That was pretty fine business. 1t was
a bit of the finished product in the manu-
facture of a run. Outside of that the Sox
made hut four other hits in the preceding
ten innings. The South Siders never
came close TO score excepting in the
very preceding round.
Close Shave in Tenth.
The Soxs half of the tenth opened up
with a base on balls. the first that john
son had given. Welday got the trip and
ambled to second on Isbells pretty sac
rifice. Altizer pumped single into left
field. but Michael was stopped at third.
.ttz tried to hit one through the infield,
but was thrown out at first by Delehanty,
but W elday did not try for the plate. Pur
tell then hit sizzler TO Mcbride. who
beat Mike to the plate. and the winning
was delayed until the next period.
The Nationals could not do a thing with
White. Only four times did he permit
the enemy TO get safe hits. and then. out
cf courtesy to his pitching rival. he saw
10 il that two of those binsles were given
10 Johnson.
Doe evaded pit falls and never got into
trouble. 1t was easy for him and he was
hurling in the eleventh inning grace
fully and effectively in the first. 1t
was his day. and the only reason he was
not credited with victory earlier in the
day was that his mates couldn't solve the
delivery of Johnson The score:
