Walter Johnson is as right as he was to-
day a ball team has small chance to
beat him, but the White Sox had to
make a lot of mistakes to let him beat
them Z to in the second game of Wash
ington's final series here.
With the help of a couple of lucky hits,
one Of which nearly beaned Doc Gessler,
when he lost it in the sun, the White Sox
pulled off rally that netted them six
hits and three runs in the fifth inning
in spite Of base running blunders, and
would have meant more runs if not
more hits, but for said blunders. Aside
from that round Johnson was invincible
when there was danger of runs scoring.
The big National had all his speed and
perfect control of it. Twelve men he
set down on strikes, Ping Bodie be-
ing particularly helpless against johnson
because of the long swing he takes with
his bat Three times in succession Ping
whitfield himself out. Eleven hits were
made of the visiting slabman, but he
kept them well scattered except in the
fifth inning.
Milan Comes Home.
Milan opened on Scott with a triple to
right center. Schaefer bounced one to
Lord who tried for Milan at the plate,
but Clyde beat the play and scored.
Walker forced Schaefer at second. Cess
Ter flied and Walker was tagged steal
ing second. Scott issued a pass to Nc
Bride, putting himself in the hole in the
second inning. Morgan sacrificed, but
Scott dug himself out by whiting Cum
ningham. Street grounded out.
In the third TannehilI pounced on a
hot one from Johnson and stopped him
at first. Milan singled, and went to
second on Schaefer's grounder; then
Walker slashed hot one at Tannehill and
was out. Once more, in the fourth, Scott
got in bad by passing the first man up.
1t was Gessler. Mcbride forced Doc
at second and barely beat a double play.
Morgan popped out, and Cunninghams
rap to Mcconnell ended that round
Street blew open the fifth with long
fly to left. Dougherty went back and
reached the ball, but could not hold it.
While he was recovering the pill, Gabby
reached second. Johnson struck out.
Milan hit a slow one toward third. Scott
got it and whipped hard to first. Null
len tried to stab the throw with one
hand at the risk of getting bumped by
the runner and almost got away with it,
but could not hold the ball, and Umpire
Sheridan had to reverse his decision.
Street reached third on the play, and
Milan stole second unmolested. Street
tried to score on Schaefers rap, but
Tannehill came up with the ball and
cut off Gabby at the plate. While Block
E was running his rival down, Milan reach
ed third. Block tagged Street out then
pegged TO second in a futile effort to
get Schaefer there. The throw went high
and, although Mcconnell jumped and
knocked II down, Milan scored on it.
Walker was the third out.
johnson in Form.
Up to this time the Sox had made two
singles off Johnson, both of them after
two were out, and nobody had gone as
far as second. Tannehill. first up in the
domestic fifth, was disposed of before
the rally started. Mullen pulled a clean
one to left. Block flied into the sun and
Gessler missed it. Here Lange was sent
In for Scott and deposited tall Texas
Lacquer just inside the right foul line out
Of reach. Mullen scored and Block went
10 third. Chouinard was put on to run
Tor Lange. Block was caught off third
That proved expensive, for Mcintyre,
Lord, and Dougherty followed with clean
hard singles, which scored Chouinard
and Mcintyre, Lord being on third and
Dougherty on second when Bodie struck
out in the pinch.
Olmstead was sent in to hold that slen-
der lead of one. Gessler singled and so
did Mcbride, Bodie fumblng the latter
hit and letting Gessler score the tying
run. In the seventh Johnson doubled,
Milan sacrificed, and Schaefer singled,
scoring Johnson. Walker singled and
Schaefer scored all the way from second
when the Sox tried to double up Walker
and Gessler on the doctors rap to Nc
ConnelL
In the eighth Mcbride beat out a hit
Morgan sacrificed and was safe because
Mullen dropped the throw Cunningham
hunted and Mullen threw to force Nor
gan at second, but threw wild. Mcbride
scored and Morgan reached third, from
where he scored on Streets fly to Dough-
erty.
The Sox pulled up one run nearer in
the ninth, when Block singled and Nc
lntyre smashed a three-bagger over
Gessler's head.
