BY WILLIAM PEET.

With Olmstead twirling great ball and
receiving alright support, and the White
sox leading TO 0. the Nationals tied the
score in the seventh. and came along
with a rush in the tenth, putting over
the winning tally with an old-fashIoned
swatfest and capturing the final game
Of the White Sox series yesterday. TO 2.
Twirler Dolly Cray. Catcher Ainsmith,
and Germany Schaefer were the heroes.
Ainsmith banged the ball 10 left. send
ing in two tallies in the seventh. and
Dolly Gray opened the tenth with rous-
ing two-bagger. Schaefers timely single
won the game.
1t was one OF those games calculated
70 send the fans crazy. Olmstead start
ed out like house afire. His support
was sensational: the home players we're
robbed of hit after hit by spectacular
stops. When a batting rally threatened,
a double play choked It. In Chicago's
second a couple of dantalizing grounders
just out of the reach Of Mcbride and
costly muff by Wild Conroy let in two
White sox runs. Things looked black
for McAleer's tribe during the first six
rounds. as only three scattered hits were
obtained Of Olmstead. Then came the
Nationals seventh.
AinSmith's Timely Hit.
From the depths OF despair the fans
were aroused 20 the highest pinnacle Of
joy. and everybody was clapping his
neignbor on the back and shouting when
Ainsmith's swat tied the score. Then the
finale Olmstead settled down and held
the Nationals safe during the eighth and
ninth. but the tenth was a screamer and
brought out some of the classiest roofing
heard here this season. Bleacher and
grand stand fans stood up and held their
breaths for a second as Dolly Gray
faced Olmstead Dolly is not listed
among the ten leading hitters OF the
league. but he does sneak one over once
in while. The outfelders. looking for
a pop fly. played in close. Gray connect
ed with the first ball pitched and it sailed
over Collins head in center, rolling 20
the fence. Gray was on second before
the sphere could be recovered and the
cheering was intense. Lille Milan was
the next up. He had failed previously
20 connect safely. Hes due" cried
bleacher bugs Give us a hit, Milan,
That's all We ask" Everybody groaned
as the speedy little outfelder popped 10
Parent. Germany Schaefer was next IN
the batting order. He took a couple of
healthy swings missing the ball by a
fraction OF an inch. A series Of groans
went up. Schaefer failed 10 inspire con-
fdence, and the crowd was figuring on
Wild COnroy. next in line Schaefer upset
all calculations by smashing the ball on
the nose TO right center. Collins made
a valiant try. gathered in the ball on the
bound. and ended up with a beautiful
throw TO the plate. but Dolly Gray was
over the rubber just one second ahead
of the BALI BY this time Bedlam had
broken loose, and hundreds Of our lead
Ing rooters Ieaped over the grand stand
railing onto the field 20 grasp the hand
OF Gray. Schaefer. and McAleer; in fact.
they did care who they shook hands with
just as long as the man wore a baseball
uniform.
SIX Hits on Gray.
Dolly Gray pitched good enough ball TO
win most any game. He only allowed
six hits. and was steady as a clock in
the pinches The White sox could do
nothing with him after the sixth. He
made such hitters as Harry Lord. lei
der, and Dougherty look foolish.
Olmstead was just as effective in the
early chapters, but weakened as the
game progressed. Zeider and Mcbride
were the busy kids around shortstop. the
former pulling off a couple OF stops that
were sensational in the extreme Be
tween them both twenty-seven chances
were handled. Mcbride was the only
one 10 make an error. a poor throw 70
Unglaub in the ninth
Double plays hurt the Nationals
chances IN the second and third. and il
was not until the seventh that Olmsteau
could be reached for runs Gessler led
off in this inning by drawing a base on
balls; Mcbride singled 70 left: Elber-
fields roller 20 Lord advanced Gessler
TO third and Mcbride 20 second; Unglaub
walked. filling the bases: Ainsmith drove
the ball into short left. scoring both
Gessler and Mcbride and sewing up the
game. Unglaub tried 10 make third on
the clout. but a pretty throw by Block
got him on a close decision.
Luck was with the White SOx when
they put over two runs in the second.
Dougherty skipped the ball over second,
just out of McBride's reach; Tannehin
sacrificed, sending Dougherty TO the mid
way bag; Collins scored Dougherty with
a single the ex&ct counterpart Of Dough-
erty's, which escaped McBride's clutches
by a hair; Parent died. Mcbride 10 In
glaub; Block gave COnroy an easy fly
which the latter allowed 10 slip through
his fingers. and It cost a run. as Collins
came home This was the extent of Chi
cago's invasion into the run column.
Gray showed his worth in the ffth
when with two out and the bases filed
