The victory today was clean one. and II
the errors of the locals had been wiped out

runs to win. By concentrated effort in
the fifth round the visitors put two runs
over the plate; that was enough to give
them the game The big grandstand at
Comiskey Park was decorated appropri-
htely for the occasion. Comiskey has had

and there were many of the strangers on
hand for the contest today.
There were several opportunities for the
Sox to make runs if they had been able
to connect with Doc Reisling's delivery,
but the veteran head was steady in the
pinches and the locals were lucky in
getting the lone run over the plate that
saved them from whitewash.
In the opening round the Sox had their
first chance to use a hit to make rum
but fell down. Zeider singled to start
and was sacrificed to third by Parent
Mclean then struck out. Dougherty went
out by way of the pitcher. leaving the
Sox captain to die on third.
In the third inning again Zeider singled
and stole second, but that was after two
men were out, and he was left there
when Parent went out on grounder to
Mcbride. The only Washington man to
reach first in the first four innings was
Schaefer.
He got life in the opening round on
tumble by Zeider, but killifer hit into
double play right after him and he
never did get as far as second. The
combination to Olmstead's delivery was
solved IN the fifth inning, however, and
the two runs that were needed to win

of some clean hitting in that round

Mcbride started the batting rally with q
smash to center field and COnroy followed
with another long single to left which
sent Mcbride around to third and put

thrown IN from the field.
Henry's Timely Single.
Ungiaub worked Oimie for a pass,
which filled up the sacks and Henry
came to the plate. He swung on the first
two balls that were pitched to him, and
II looked as IL he would be another easy
victim for the strikeout column Ohm
stead made the mistake of trying to
pitch him another strike right over the
plate, however, and the youngster caught
the ball square on the nose for a single
20 left and sent Mcbride and Conroy
racing across the plate with the two
runs.

from first to third on the hit, but he

10 left and Payne followed with q good
drive TO center, which sent Collins around
