CHICAGO, June 11.-eGorge Browne, re-
Gently sent home by Manager McAleer.
and on whom waivers were asked, has
been turned over to the White SoX.
Comiskey refused to waive on Browne,
and late this evening McAleer and he
fixed UP the deal. The Chicago club pays
the usual waiver fee, $500, for Browne.
1t is expected that Browpe will be here
in time to take part in Mondays game.
The local team is sadly in need of out
filders, and Browne may be able to help
the team out He is now in good condi-
ton, and is undoubtedly the equal of any
man the Sox now have playing in the
outfield.
Not in recent years has Washington
team won three consecutive games on
the road. 1t is by far a much better
showing than was anticipated, and the
effect Of these victories is easily to be
noticed in the players work. They are
full of ginger and confidence, and with
the pitchers going as they are there is
still a good chance of the Nationals
breaking even on their present trip. 10
date they have won five and lost seven.
They still have two games to play here,
four in st. Louis and four in Boston, 1t
seems reasonable to hope that at least
one of the remaining games here VIII go
to their list, and ST. Louis cannot be
figured as dangerous. though IN SUCH
cases IT is better not to count the
chickens before they are Matched AT
the rate the Boston team is going IN us
present crippled condition the Hubltes
should not be troublesome as usual. Bos-
ton last three out of four here and was
outplayed by the Sox, while in the two
games played here to date the Nationals
have played rings around the former
worlds champions.
Chicago has team which cannot hit,
and when it is slumping as it is 1t is the
easiest kind of proposition for the Ma
tionals, who, while not a strong hitting
aggregation. can always be counted on
to get a run or two, and their pitchers
are doing effective work against all
teams The Nationals are playing little
better ball now than they did in Detroit,
but they are UP against much different
team.
GessIer batted territically today. His
first double. while trifle scratchy, was.
however, most timely, and his other two
drives were of the variety that Doc used
to make against Washington when he
was with Boston: His three-bagger In
the eighth was line drive to right. which
curved yards and got away from French.
In a pinch it could have been stretched
into home run, but at that stage there
was but one out and It looked better to
play it safe, though nothing resulted from
the hit.
Sunday Groom is slated to pitch, proba-
bly, against Young, the southpaW who
shut out the Bostons a few days ago, but
lasted only two innings against the Ma
tionals in Washington.
If all the pitchers of McAleer's staff
knew as much about the art as Doc
Resiing. they would be able to save their
arms. for Doc does not rely on either
his speed or curves. but on his judgment.
To those In the stands Doc looks like the
easiest kind of picking, but he is not hit,
nevertheless. 1t was so in Detroit.-Every
inning the crowd expected to see the
Tigers annihilate the veteran. yet they
hit him but little, and hewould have had
a good chance to win his game with a
little better luck.
1t was not until the ninth inning today
that the crowd weakened. It seemed to
be the impression that eventually the Sox
would solve Reisling's easy-looking de-
livery and drive him off of the rubber,
but he was there to the finish.
When Walsh. who batted for White in
the ninth. started the inning with single
the crowd went wild for it was expected
to happen to DOC. McAleer. too, took no
chances, for he had Walter Johnson warm
up, but Walter was not necessary, for
Doc took care Of the next three batsmen
like star.
Brilliant as was the work OF Elberfeld
when he was in the game, 1t must be said
to Wild Conroys credit that no one could
