STANDING OF TIM CLUBS.

Chicago. Aug. They haven't scored
on him yet Big Edward Walsh came

battle with the Philadelphia Athletics
last Thursdy and shut out the Nationals
in the easiest manner possible. to O.
That gave the young man total Of
twenty-five innings of blanks since his
suspension was lifted If he Is laid or
again no club ever will make a run
against him. No one limited that Walsh's
showing in the Thursday game was a
huke, but he acted to-day as If he We're
trying to refute somebody's testimony.
Washington was credited with two hits.
Wild Conroy got them both. and earned
one Of them. His single in the eighth
was a clean line drive over Capt Zeider's
head. But his hit IN the second was a
joke-one Of those pop hy balls that drop
out of everybody's reach back Of. first
base For seven rounds this was the only
base knock the Nationals had. and peo-
pie were thinking what shame it was
that such measly excuse for a single
should rob Walsh Of a no-hit game. But
Wild. probably ashamed himself. produced
a real one his last time up, and that was
far more satisfactory than If he had
rested his case on his first bingle.
Ten of Nationals Fan.
Walsh famed ten OF the visitors. get
ting four OF them In the last two innings.
Herman Schaefer was a helpless being
before him. The Dutchman batted left

attempt he struck out again. George Nc
Bride was just about as bad In fact,
none OF the visitors were brave enough
to make a serious resistance against the
big spitballist Three Of them got to
first base. and one even reached second
Conroy's single in the second came with
two out. and he was left when Jack Col

and picked himself out Of the dirt in time
TO step on first base before Robert ar
rived.
Conroy's earned single occurred with
one out in the eighth. 1t was followed
by Purtell's tumble Of Unglaub's ground
er on which Wild actually attained the
honor of getting half way around the
bases. The pair were left despite a
hurry call for pinch hitters. Lelivelt
boosted an easy fly to Dougherty and
Gessler struck out IN a peculiar manner.
lie stepped out OF the batter's box just
as Ed was serving up his third strike.
The ball cut the plate in the middle and
Gessler was still outside the lines. Mr.
Perrine couldn't figure how he had a
right to be there. and he told Doc he
was out. much TO Docs disgust.
In the other seven innings, the Ma
tionals were moved down as fast as they
appeared at the plate Thirty OF them
came to bat and It Is safe to say that
about half Of them wished II had rained.
Aside from PurtelTs slip. Walsh's back
ing was perfect and brilliant in spots.
Collins diving stab was the best play of
the day; that is. the showiest. Lee Tan,
nehlll played one of his remarkably
clever games at short. and. of course.
Parent had TO have his daily difficult
catch. Capt zeider pulled one catch that
was a ,9each.
DOugherty Helps SOx Win.
But don't think that the defense was
the whole show. The game itself was
virtually over when Pat Dougherty came
across with the first run in the second
inning. Molly Mclean. however. hadn't
seen Walsh pitch often enough to realize
that the Nationals task was hopeless.
He thought more tallies were necessary
and he started out to get them For the
first time since he became a Sox ne
looked something ike $1,000. His single,
with Zeider on third. pounded in the sec
ond Chicago run in the third, and his
long triple TO left center paved the way
for another one. Dougherty's drive in
the second was a double, because the
rough ground caught It on the hop and
almost resulted in the beaning OF Sehaef-
er. II came with no one out TannehilI
