Chicago, Ill, Aug. Pin spite Of their
own wastefulness and the frowns Of
Dame Fortune, the alright pitching Of
Harris White, southpaw and barytone
emeritus, enabled the White Sox to
emerge victorious, 8 to /, in the third and
final Washington game.
White pitched practically a shut-out
game against his fellow-townsmen, and
it was almost as good as the one he
hurled against the worlds champions last
week. He was opposed to the veteran
cliff dweller, Long Tom Hughes, and
outpitched Sir Thomas by many para
sangs. Yet there were many moments
when 1t looked as If the Nationals might
- pull of a victory.
The wind was responsible for Wash
ington's first opportunity to score, and
1t arrived in the first inning. Milan foul
ed out then Schaefer raised a pop fly
back of second base to the right field
side. A flock of White Sox gathered
and watched the ball coming down, but
no one seemed inclined to tackle it. At
the last minute Tannehill made an effort
to catch the ball and muffed 1t, and
Schaefer went to second. White then
struck out Walker and Gessler.
White So1 Score in First.
tunity in their half of the first. One
down, Lord smashed a bounder to
Schaefer, and beat Tom Hughes to the
base. Harry tried the hit and run with
Dougherty, but a pitch-out nipped him
at second by a narrow margin. Dough-
erty then walked, stole second, and
went to third on Streets wild throw.
Bodie walked and Mcconnell pulled a
hard liner to right for one base, scor-
ing Patrick, and sending Pink to third.
Tannehill fouled to Morgan, leaving
two runs stranded
In the next inning Mullen and Block
were out when White caromed a safe
hit off Hughes mitt and beat the throw
of Mcbride, who tried to retrieve the
ball. Mcintyre singled to right and
Morgan fumbled grounder from
Lords bat, filling the bases, but Dough-
erty struck out Bodie opened the
third with his second walk. McCon-
nell bunted and Street juggled the ball
so long that everybody was safe. Tan
nehill poked a bunt toward first and
Schaefer, coming in fast, grabbed the
ball in time to force Bodie at third.
Mullen smashed a clean one over short
field, and Mcconnell tried 20 score
from second on it, but Walkers throw
home was perfect and nipped the run
by a step. Block struck out.
Nationals Tie the Score.
The visitors scratched the tying run in
their fourth. Walker accepted a pass
and was sacrificed ahead by Gessler Nc
Brides bounder TO Mcconnell put Walker
on third, and Morgan hit a hot one
through Whites underpining. Tannehill
scooted back of second base and scooped
the ball, but could not handle it in time
to throw his man out at first. That was
how Walker got home. Morgan was
caught off first and run to death.
The fifth brought the switch in luck.
Bodie. first up, gained life on Morgan's
low throw to first and made second on a
wild pitch. Mcconnell struck out, and
Tannehill popped out. Just as hope was
fading again, Mullen pulled a screamer
between left and center for two bases,
single, on which Mullen registered the
third and final run. White grounded out.
A two-bagger by Lord in the sixth in
ming was the only other hit made off
Hughes, and the Sox went out three in
row in the seventh and eighth. The
enemy made three hits off White after the
fourth inning, and they had two more
chances to score. In the seventh, with
one out, White passed Mcbride and Nor
gan, but Cunningham skied to Dougherty,
and Tannehill pinched Streets low liner
In the eighth Hughes opened with a sin
gle Milan filed out. Schafer singled, and
two runs lead did not look so big But
White struck out Walker and got Elber-
field on foul fly.
