but two victories over Washington
in the Windy City, and this in itself
is something of which to be proud.
Plenty of pep"
The enforced lay-off Saturday seemed
to do the Nationals a world Of good.
There was a snap and dash about to-
days play noticeably lacking in Fridays
encounter. johnson, although hit hard
and often in the first sketch. was bril-
liantly supported. and his pals were on
the Job with the timely hit stuff.
The final contest saw Groom get away
poorly from the barrier, but as the game
progressed the toothpick twirler tight
ened up. and was the same old hoodoo
to the imma gang.
johnson hooked up with Jim Scott in
the first game. but Scott only lasted four
innings. He was wild as a hawk. and
whenever he did manage to locate the
plate the ball was usually slammed TO
some unguarded spot in the outfield.
After four hits: linked with the same
number of passes. and wild pitch
tossed in for good measure, had produced
a quartet of Washington runs, Mr.. Scott
was lifted and a young man named Ellis
johnson succeeded him. Ellis did nicely
until the Nationals solved his peculiar
delivery in the eighth and ninth. where
a fusillade of swats furnished the young
ster with a sample Of the stuff which
drove Scott to the cooler.
Clyde Gets Three.
Milan gladdened the hearts of his team
mates by a return to his old-time hitting
form. Two triples and single out of
,rNIN -~P,1a
bases was Clydes portion in the first
game.
Shanks' fielding and the first basing OF
Chick Gandil were other noteworthy fea-
lures After the teams had opened fire in
the second combat it looked for minute
as If Groom might get the worst of the
argument. for Bill LANCE. the Sox iron
man, appeared to have a world of stuff.
while Groom looked a bit unsteady. and
was reached for a run in the initial
frame.
Perhaps the Sox might have walked
away with the spoils but for the timely
and hard hitting of Big Al Williams. our
800 swatting catcher. 1t was AIS triple
in the third that eventually tied the
score. his sacrifice fly in the fifth that
put us in tho lead. and his timely single
in the seventh that put the game beyond
reach of the angry White Sox- When it
comes TO hitting the old ball, Mr.. Will
iams seems to be very much at home
these days.
Shanks also had a good day at the bat. |
and Milan contributed a running catch |
OF Lange's high fly in the fifth which !
br ought the crowd to its feet.
Ideal weather, warm and balmy. |

made plenty of noise and did their share |

SECOND GAME.

Groom and Lange started the farewell
battle, and Sir Robert got away to a
poor start, walking Rath. Laporte fun
hled Mattick's grounder. Then came a
double steal, which resulted in a run for
the Sox. Rippy Williams three Dagger
to the left field fence aided the Nationals
TO knot the count in the third, for Groom
gave Weaver a srounder, which the
shortstop fumbled Just long enough to
permit Williams to cross the plate
In the fourth Grlff's youngsters jumped
into the lead, scoring a run without the
aid of a hit. Foster walked. Milan sac
rifced Eddie 10 second. and the midget
pulled up at third on Viewers tumble
A long fly from Laporte's bat, which
Lord captured. did the rest.
The Sox crowded a couple of hits into
the sixth frame, but a double play, sand
WICKED in between the swats killed all
chances for scoring.
Get Poor Start.
The Nationals opened up a big inning
the seventh. after a dfscouraging start.
Milan singled. but Gandil hit into a dou-
BILE play. Laporte crashed to center.
Shanks and Mcbride both walked, and
Williams blasted the pellet through Zed-

In the Washington eighth Clyde Milan
smashed the present American League

SECOND GAME NOTES.

The Sox were only able to bunch swats
in one frame off Bob Groom, and in that
round it awaited them naught. In other
innings they were as scarce as gold pieces
in q municipal lodging house.
Old Bill LANCE was effective in the early
innings. but weakened in the seventh to
the extent of four well-placed clouts.
1t was announced prior to the second
tilt that unless 1t was finished by five
bells 1t would be called in order to let
the Nationals catch a RATHER. but with
Groom going the way he was there was
no chance, and the regulation nine wal
played out.
Collins robbed Shanks of hit in tho
second
At that, Shanks was the heavy hitter
of the afterpiece. getting a double and
two singles in four trips up.
Milan raced clear back to the bleach
ers in center field for Lange's long fly
against the boards in making the catch,
but came up all to the merry.
Just prior to that Foster had jumped
ers nasty bounder. chucking him out at
first.
Moeller made a sensational catch of
Rath's fly in the third. blowing into
short right just in time to pick It off
his shoe tops
It looked like a tie count in the fourth
when Zeider tripled to deep right center,
but he tried to get clear around on the
swat and failed.
Milan broke Cobb's record in the
eighth after getting a free ticket to
Bortonville.
Gandil made one-handed spear of
Fosters throw Of Borton's grounder in
the seventh, but blocked the new Sox
first sacker. All the scoring came in
the seventh after Borton had pulled an
unassisted double play after Milan had
singled to right

as they did against all corners in our

Ray Collins is another good pitcher.
He is liable to beat the Giants. On the
other hand don't overlook that New York
club. Remember. they have been through
one worlds series and had to face just
as good pitching against the Athletics
as they would against Boston. Bender,

the Boston Red Sox can produce right
now.
Looking at the coming series from

see Boston win. but believe It is a toss

:. eight Agent t.ere Looking After

Much pleased over the Election OF
Wilson as President Of v. s.

Indications are that the turkey
crop in this section of the state Will
he about half of what it was last
wear. This is based on statement
given out this morning by William
Barker, president of the Barker Pro-
duce Company, and w. S. Beasley, OF
! the Columbia Produce Company. 1t
was stated that there would be a
greater demand for turkeys this year
| than there had been in several years
past at the Thanksgiving season and
in order to meet this demand Barker
has arranged to dress at several sta
tions in this and adjoining counties.
There has been a war on the price
of the festive bird for several days
and an attempt, 1t is asserted by Bar
ker was made a few days ago to hold
the price down to thirteen cents but
that he had refused to go into the
combination OF the buyers over Mid
die Tennessee and had set his own
price and is offering fifteen cents
! here on this market.
The farmers are advised TO hold
the lanky birds for the holiday de
Imands. The birds are much later in
maturing this year than usual on &C
count of the late spring, and the late
/ season, too, was the cause Of the
small number of fowls. By holding
the poor birds and putting nothing
but the plump fat ones on the mar
ket, feeding those retained until
time for the holiday markets, the
raisers of turkeys will benefit them
selves as well as the regular produce
dealers.
Both the Barker Produce Co. and
the Columbia Produce Co. are quoting
the fifteen cent price, and are making
great preparations to handle the vast
lamount of fowls that will shipped in
