washington, southpawing it in his old
time form, the Nationals were forced to
bow down again before the Chicago
White sox This time coat of calci-
mine was spread Score. to O.
The average baseball bug IN the Dis
trict is easily satisfied Remarks such as
these were heard as the crowd filed out
OF the gates: THAT young fellow Walker
got a nice two-bagger" and, 81 saw
Ping Bodie knock the ball over the CEN
terfield fence-even If we did get licked" !"
Yes, gentle reader Mr. Bodie duplicated
Bill Cunningham's feat, but not in the
same place, for the ball he spanked On
the nose n the fourth cleared the short
centerfeld fence near the clubhouse. 1t
was a mighty wallop, but not a real
fancy clout, as was Rubber Shirt Bill's''
The home folks had just two real
chances to win the game In the first
Inning all three sacks were populated and
one was down. 1t was up to Doc Gessler
and Mcbride, but the N. D. ANONYMOUSLY
whiffed, while Captain Mac popped weak
ly to the Chicago second sacker,
Timely Hit Non Est.
In the sixth Clarence Walker and Kid
Elberfeld climbed around as far as sec
ond and third. Two were out and Wild
Conroy Up. Doc White forced the Widow
to die hard via the Zeider-Mullin route,
and another chance was missed for lack
of a hit.
Manager McAIeer shook up his troupe
a bit for yesterdays battle. Kid Elber-
field covered second and Wild Conroy
third. Bill Cunningham was benched tenn
porarily on account of his poor hitting.
A., al,
hits, but managed to keep them scat
tered, with the exception Of the first,
fourth, and ninth rounds. Walker s
twirling was good enough to win had
his team mates been able to take liberties
with Doc White.
Clarence Walker pulled down a couple
of nice fly balls in the left, and the first
time up smashed out pretty two-bagger.
This sorrel-topped youth seems to have
worked his way into the affections of all
the local fans, for he was greeted with q
fusiIlade of hand-clapping and cheers
every time he went to bat.
The fielding feature of the melee was
a sensational one-hand catch of line
drive hot of McIntyre's bat by George
Mcbride in the White Sox's eighth in
ming.
Both sides played errorIess ball. The
only possible semblance of>a miscue came
in the ninth on a grounder by Zeider,
which both Schaefer and Dixie Walker
tried TO field. Had either one kept away
Zeider might have been retired, and then
consensus of opinion IN the press box
seemed to be that Zeider should be cred
tied with a hit
The Windy City tribe opened fire on
Dixie right of the reel Matty McIn-
tyre clubbed the ball to left for double.
Lord sacrificed him to third, and Jimmy
Callahan dumped the ball into the left
field pavilion, Matty crossing the plate.
Bodie died, Conroy to Schaefer, and with
Zeider UP Callahan foolishly attempted
TO steal home, but found Gabby Street
waiting sor him with the ball in his
hands.
Bodies Drive Clears Fence.
Ping Bodie pinged. one over the center
field fence N the manner described in
the foregoing during Chicago's fourth
and the White Sox brigade was held in
check until the ninth, when they boosted
their run total two 'notches.
Harry Lord started the festivities with
a single to center and stole second. Cal
lahan's sacrifice sent Lord 20 third.
Bodie walked, and on the squeeze play
Lord crossed the plate The ball was
played poorly by Schae1ef and walker as
described above Had the sphere been
fielded cleanly, Lord would have been
caught at home Chouinard flied to
Gessler, but Mullen smashed to left fol-
a double, scoring Bodie. Billy Sullivan
made the third out on a grounder which
Schaefer tossed to Dixie Walker.
The Nationals had possible chance tc
do something in the seventh, when, after
Gabby Street had perished, Lord to Null
len, Dixie Walker doubled to center
Milan went out, Chouinard to Mullen, and
Germany Schaefer walked. Clarence
Walker sent up a short, high fly to Gala
han for the third out.
Although Eddie Ainsmith was substi-
tuted at the bat for Dixie Walker in tbs
ninth In hope Of starting something, DoC
White was easily master Of the situa,
ton, and none Of the home folks stirred
the dust around first base.
