Doc Wfte pitched. as a matter OF
course. He always pitches against the
men from home Il its anywhere near
his turn. He pitched a funny game OF
bail. not at AL ike his usual ones. For one
, thing he was wild. and wildness never
was one OF his bad habits. He was hit
pretty hard IN the third inning. when
the Nationals scored their two runs.
After the third he wasn't touched al
though his lack OF control kept him
working hard almost all the way through.
White Opposes Gray.
Against the Doc was Dolly Gray This
was most appropriate, White pitching
FOR the men IN white, and Gray for the
men IN gray. Couldn't have put that over

travelling costumes Gray wasn't a puz-
zIe TO anybody except White himself and
Mclean. Doc famed three times, hav-
ing got the habit from watching Charley
French. Jack Collins, and Walsh IN last
Thursdays game. Mclean struck out
twice. but redeemed himself by driving IN
a run with a ball that Unglaub ought 70
have stopped in his hip pocket. Probably
the youngster made face at Robert and
scared him out OF It.
The Nationals thought they had some
thing OF q lead when their hitting gave
them their two TALES IN the third. The
Sox had scored once because OF Gray 3
wudness. But F. Payne gave an linking
OF how easy the washington left handler
was by breaking II up IN the fourth with
a clean triple TO right with two Sox on
bases. That took all the pepper out Of the
iMcAleer crowd. Gray continued TO make
wild pitches and gave passes enough to
help the Chicago boys TO two more later
in the day, two that they didn't need at all.
Schsofer started the frst inning with a
clean single 20 left ana went around 70
