RUIN OF THE SOX
Walter Johnson Blows Chicago to Pieces and Saves
Third Game for Nationals Three to Naught,
After Seven Straight Defeats
By SENATOR"
Only Washington Newspal

CHICAGO, Ill, July 1s.-It just
had to come, fellers; It just had to.
The Nationals sailed along on a
rocky course for seven straight days,
but when Walter johnson, the kansas
Cyclone" blew upon those White Sox
they were carried away by the storm.
Not the White Sox any more. Call
them something else, for their sox are
simply the color of their whole bodies.
Johnson neatly daubed them with his
own brand of Kansas whitewash, while
the nifty Nationals showed across three
fine little tallies.
big Ed Walsh's lumbago-that must
be a tough thing to have-kept him out
of the game, but Iron Man" Lang
took his place and pitched an excellent
variety of winsome benders- Only the
stirring work of Wonderful Walter. the
5000 beauty, enabled the Nationals to
win from the Comiskey star.
Furthermore, Johnson was accorded
really excellent support. Wild Conroy
starred in the field for the Nationals,
two of his stops savoring of the artis-
tic. kid" Elberfeld spiked an at
tempted hit once by scooting almost to
by a swollen lip.
Each team had copped two hits.
which brought nothing, but In the sixth
"Zeb" Milan, the Tennessee terror, r1p-
ped a beautiful single to center. He
moved up a hassock while Lord was
transferring Schaefer's deft sacrifice to
Hard Zeider. kid" Elberfeld tried
hard, but could only sky to Bodie.
Doc Gessler danced around in the
box for awhile and caused Lange to
walk him. Doc Is an artful cuss.
Red" Walker waited till good one
came along and bounced 1t to Lord. 1t
was a slow bounder, and Lord hurried
his toss.
Let Milan Get Home.
He hurried it to the right-field bleach
ers. Milan lost no time in streaking 1t
for home. but when Gessler tried to fol-
low suit, Zeider's throw to Sullivan
nailed the Akhoond of Swat standing
UP and paving the air.
After Mcbride had expired in the sew
enth Wild" Conroy gave the pill a
ride all the way to the fence in front
of the left field seats, and by the time
Bodie had retrieved it Connie was
squatting on third. 1t sure was some
triple. Eddie Ainsmith, VINO didn't get
a single during the afternoon, earned
a ticket to St Louis by shooting a long
fly to Bodie, scoring Conroy.
Then in the eighth came another
beautiful triple. This time ii was Ger
many Schaefer. He laughed his way
all around to Hotel Lord, and waited
for Elberfeld to get him home. His
kidlets punched a terrific drive back at
Lange Tannehill dashed in, picked up
the ball, and got Elberfeld at first, but
Schaefer had scored.
Tannehill got the first hit for the
White Sox, when Ainsmith, Johnson,
and Conroy let his bunt roll along, each
declining to have thing to DO with
It. However, Lee stayed at first and
watched the next three perish.
Bodie caught a slow one, and slap
ped 1t into center for a bag in the
fourth, and ruminated on the infall-
bility of the average hitter while they
died.
Mcbride stopped Lange's drive in the
sixth, but couldn't throw 1t in time
1t went generally for a. bingle. The
iron man reached second ON an out.
but got no further.
Callahan punched a pretty single to
center in the ninth and the Southsiders
began to whistle for another rally. He
stayed there till Bodie had famed, but
;hen died trying to work the delayed
single to right, but Conroy ended the
fray when he hurled Hard Zeider's
bounce over to Schaefer. That was the
final artistic touch of the complete
suit of whitewash presented by the
gentlemen from the Potomac to those
who dwell by the side Of the ever
brooding lake.
There is hope, folks, thsre is hope.
Here's the table that proves that the
