Cnshion Against White.
Jay Carl Cashion and Doc White
hooked up for the first eight innings and
both pitched good ball Errors alone hurt

would have held the Nationals runless.
A base on balls and a rather lucky
two bagger gave the Sox two runs in
the fourth.
Young Mr.. Weaver gave about as swell
an exhibition of strong-arm work as
Washington fans have seen in many
day Weaver robbed our boys of at least
two hits by running back TO the grass
after hard-hit grounders and retiring
his men at first.
Little Ray Morgan also played a rat
tling good game at second and came
through with a safe blow. Clarence Wal
ker was also very much in the combat.
Walker was the only member of the Ma
tionals to accumulate more than one hit
OFF the White SoX leather chuckers.
Cashion did not yield a hit for three in
nings. His one bad round was the
fourth. when a walk to Mcintyre started
the Sox on their way to a couple of tall
lies. Collins followed with a safe slam
and Zeider hunted, advancing both Nc

on Easterly's two-bagger. A cheap hit.

when two lucky runs trickled over the
plate. The runs were lucky for the rea

and abetted by couple of glaring err

vicious smash which Rath knocked
down, and wound up by throwing the
ball to the stands. Walker raced to
