BY WILLIAM PEET.

We're you there when we made Doc
White deliver back the Nationals goat. -
Of which he has been the official keeper
for more than three years?
Yep We did It at last. The old adage
anent the pitcher going TO the well once
too often was exemplihed at the Florida
avenue ball yard yesterday. WIN the
Nationals put over a 4-to-3 victory
against the White Sox, with Doc White
in the box for the said Sox.
It was probably the happlest home
wa-d-bound crowd in many weeks, and
our young athletes were touted 10 ths
skies. Guess that fellow Wild Conroy cant

sions.
Doc" White our beloved townsman
has beaten this ball club every time he
has been called upon 10 work against II

to walk into the box. and the fan:
groaned. ITS all over now"
During the first four innings White was
the same old puzzle. but the horne folks
reached him for a run In the fifth, and
shocked two more out Of him in the
sixth. When the seventh opened, Milan
led off with a clean single, and then a
real funny incident occurred. Manager
Duffy motioned for White TO come TO the
bench. The crowd in both bleachers and
grand stand arose en- masse and sent up
the mightiest shout heard these many
months. Nice way 10 treat fellow
townsman. but then. you see, he hap
pened to be on the wrong side. Right
then and there the lanky dentist deliv-

Olmstead finished out the seventh IN

the winning run before he settled down;

needed one. for the Windy City tribe as
